You've got this day coming up that is called April fool's day and people apparently they crack jokes, prank people, say things that are not true. One of the things you should study is that the Muslims actually got deceived on this day in history and they lost a big war on this, because of this and perhaps it might have started form that but weather it has or it hasn't, you've gotta know that Rasoolullah (s.a.w) he did joke, sahaba did joke but the jokes were within boundaries, so you have to be honest with the joke, you can't be racist with the joke, you can't hurt feelings with the joke, you have to be in a sense, saying the joke so that it's not aimed at people to lower them down, or to get back at them or specially lying and saying a lie, you shouldn't do that, and even if you're making a joke, all jokes some way or another is gonna hurt someone or may hurt someone but it's gotta be something anonymous so that people don't take it too personally to themselves. Now on this April fool's day, it doesn't give anyone the rights to go around playing jokes with on one another, and saying things that actually happened that haven't happened because these are lies and Muslims actually don't actually do that.
Now you remember that the tongue is something which Allah (swt) has created and it's going to be accountable on the Day of Judgment. If you use that in the right way, then alhamdulillah, if you've used it in the wrong way, then you could actually be gone 70 light years or something inside jahannam just because you said that wrong thing, just because you used that tongue in a wrong way.
So we Muslims, we don't believe in lying or deceiving people, we don't believe in belittling people, making mockery out of people, we don't believe in lowering people, being sarcastic for whatever reason, we don't believe in making pranks when others are hurt and so on, so this day that comes, which is April the 1st, just regard it as a normal day. There's no such thing that we do, and remember that Allah (azzawajal) is watching...
