The Dangers of Mocking Others: A Lesson from the Quran

The Ignorance of Mocking Others: A Reflection on Surah Al-Baqarah (2:67)

MOCKING OTHERS IS A SIGN OF IGNORANCE

ALLĀH said,

قَالُوٓاْ أَتَتَّخِذُنَا هُزُوًاۖ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ أَنۡ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِينَ 

They (Children of Israel) replied, “Are you mocking us?” He (Mūsā) responded, “I seek refuge in ALLĀH from being among the ignorant!”

The ignorant man is the one who speaks nonsense, in which there is no benefit, and he is the one who mocks people. The wise man, on the other hand, thinks that one of the greatest shameful acts that undermine one’s religious commitment and rational thinking is mocking a person who is a human being like him; even if he is superior to him, that superiority requires him to show gratitude to his Lord and compassion towards HIS slaves.
