Mockery is forbidden in the Qur’an

It's a sin and a depravity according to the Qur'an for a believer to
criticize a person's' defects withmockery. Mockery is a
characteristic of those who live in distance from religious moral
values and do not fear Allah as should be. Thesepeople resort to such
methods as caricature etc. When they want to criticize a person or an
event and thus exceed the limits of respect and courtesy by choosing a
language, which is not compatible with the Qur'anic moral values.
Whereas, a Muslim uses amethod of communication while criticizing a
manner which he finds not compatible with the Qur'anic moral values
and the Hadith, thus he expresses the falsity of the manner in
question according to the Qur'an and the Hadith of our Prophet (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace). Especially about the issues
concerning religion and holy values, he uses careful and mindful
tongue as a necessity of his deep love and respect for Allah. Allah
mentions in the Qur'an that ordering good and forbiddingevilis an
important sign of believers:
Those who repent, thosewho worship, those who praise, those who fast,
those who bow, those who prostrate,those who command theright, those
who forbid the wrong, those who preserve the limits of Allah: give
good news tothe believers. (Surat at-Tawba, 112)
Throughout the history, prophets and sincere believers were mocked,
and Allah imposed punishments on those who were in depravity against
believers:
Messengers before you were also mocked,but those who jeered were
engulfed by what they mocked. ( Surat al-An'am, 10)
Allah mentioned in the Qur'an that mockery is an indecent morality and
a sin and thus, believers should avoid such depravity. Moreover, Allah
informs believers in a verse in case they encounter an atmosphere
where there's mockery about the religious issues, they should leave or
they would be in the positionof those who do it:
It has been sent down toyou in the Book thatwhen you hear Allah's
Signs being rejected andmocked at by people, you must not sit with
them till they start talking of other things. If you do you are just
the same as them. Allah will gather all the hypocrites and unbelievers
into Hell. (Surat an-Nisa', 140)
Allah informs us the position of those who resort to mockery in some
other verses in the Qur'an.
You who believe! Do nottake as friends any ofthose given the Book
before you or the unbelievers who make amockery and a game outof your
believe. Fear [and respect] Allah if youare believers. (Surat
al-Ma'ida, 57)
... lest anyone should say, 'Alas for me for neglecting what Allah was
due, and beingone of the scoffers!' (Surat az-Zumar, 56)
When he does learn something of Our Signs, he makes a mockery of them.
Such people will have a humiliating punishment. (Surat al-Jathiyya, 9)
