Cure for sickness of April Fool

Allah says in the Noble Quran about the basic qualities of a believer:
" O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do." (Quran 61:2,3)

Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, "Can a believer be a miser?" He said, "Yes" He was asked, "Can a believer be a coward?" He said, "Yes." And he was asked, "And can a believer be a liar?" He said, "No."

It has been related that a man went to Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I do three sins in secret: (I drink) alcohol, fornication and lying. So inform me which of them I should abandon. "He said, "Leave off lying." The man went away, and later desired to fornicate, but he thought to himself, "I will go to the Messenger of Allah and he will ask me whether I fornicated? If I say yes, he will punish me. And if I say no, I will have broken the covenant and lied." So he abstained from fornicating, and the same occurred regarding alcohol. He returned to Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I have abandoned all of them."

My brother, do you not see then, that lying is the root of every wicked deed, and it leads to all other sins. You will not see anyone more miserable and wretched than the liar, and disbelief is the most severe kind of lying, for it is lying upon Allah.

Interestingly….
Animals have long tongues, yet they cannot speak.
Man has a relatively short tongue, yet he cannot keep silent.

Not controlling the tongue may lead one to his own destruction.

Guard your tongue, O man!
Don't let it nip you, for it is a serpent!
How many victims of their tongues rest in their graves,
Whom even the bravest of men would dread to meet!

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a person continues to tell the truth until he is written with Allah as a truthful one. Verily, lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. And a person continues to lie until, with Allah( i.e., according to His Complete knowledge), he is written as a liar.

The Prophet(peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Whoever guarantees for me what is between his jawbones and what is between his legs (i.e., that he uses his tongue and his private parts for what is lawful only), then I guarantee Paradise for him."

Although some words might be the cause of misery and punishment, other words are the cause of superiority and success.

Mu'aadh(may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Prophet of Allah, and will we be held accountable for what we say?" The messenger of Allah(peace and blessings be upon him) said, " And will people be overturned on their faces or upon their nostrils in the Hellfire except because of the harvest of their tongues."

Allah says:" O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds)" (Quran 9:119).
