The last blog was discussing the different types of speech a muslim must safeguard themself from.
The next danger of the tongue is mocking others. This occurs when one ridicules and highlights the defects of another in order to cause others to laugh and look down at them. This can be done through actions or words. In most cases, this is a sin as it involves degrading and insulting others. It is not a sin if the feelings of the one being mocked do not change negatively and when sinful words are not used. This is extremely rare especially, in this day and age. Mocking has been prohibited by Allah, the Exalted. Chapter 49 Al Hujurat, verse 11:
“O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames…”
The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, has warned, in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2505, that whoever mocks another over a sin the latter has repented from will not die until they commit the same sin. It is important for muslims to avoid this characteristic as it in most cases creates enmity between people and this always leads to fractured or broken relationships.
