In our social relationship, some of us find it amusing to ridicule,

mock, jeer, scoff at, laugh, make fun or taunt at others. It is

especially so, when we are in a kind of cliques or grouping.

Why do we do this? It is due to our self-conceit and arrogance.

Never for a moment do we consider that such behaviour is wrong. In

such association or gathering, each one tries to deflect attention of

their own defects by projecting the weakness of others, especially of

those people we consider to be outside our circle, outside our group.


We feel secure with our buddies, joking and laughing like the old

witches of "Macbeth" who fail to see their own evil and ugliness.

Some of us even considers it a norm to do this, and any attempt

at changing this behaviour amongst our peers is met with

accusations of having "no sense of humour", "too serious", "no fun

to be with" etc. But the "joke" is actually on us if we indulge in such

practice, as Allah s.w.t. says: "it may well be that the one derided is

better" than ourselves.


Deriding others has many forms. Verbal derision, sarcasm, by

gesturing, mimicking or even giving nicknames - which aims at

ridiculing the person. If we are to analyze what motivates our

actions, it is that unashamed pride and conceit we think of

ourselves.

And because we are used to directing these derision towards

others, we do not feel how it can possibly hurt. But - What if others

were to do it to us?


Although in this verse, by using the male gender it generally is

quite sufficient and usually applies to both, male and female, yet

Allah repeated the command by specifically addressing the women,

lest some people may try to excuse themselves from this command

just because they are not men. This, indeed, demonstrates the

seriousness of the command, that it is to be observed by every

Muslim, as it removes any ambiguity, lest some may try to seek

excuse by legalistic arguments. There is no doubt that this

commandment applies to every Muslim - both male & female.

SERIOUSNESS OF THIS COMMAND


Also, one aspect of the teaching of Islam is that it emphasises

respect towards the honour and dignity of others - everyone -

Muslim as well as non-Muslim. All mankind are the children of

Adam a.s. and deserves the appropriate respect because Allah

s.w.t. says:

RESPECT DIGNITY & HONOUR OF PEOPLE


Also, one aspect of the teaching of Islam is that it emphasises

respect towards the honour and dignity of others - everyone -

Muslim as well as non-Muslim. All mankind are the children of

Adam a.s. and deserves the appropriate respect because Allah

s.w.t. says:


““NOW, INDEED, We have conferred dignity (honour) on the children of NOW, INDEED, We have conferred dignity (honour) on the children of

Adam, and borne them over land and sea, and provided for them Adam, and borne them over land and sea, and provided for them

sustenance out of the good things of life, and favoured them far above sustenance out of the good things of life, and favoured them far above

most of Our creation:”most of Our creation:”

((Qur’an: Isra’ : 17: 70Qur’an: Isra’ : 17: 70))


So every mankind must be respected.

Some perhaps may have tarnished this God-given honour upon

themselves but, we are not to seek out nor assume this, but we

are to give everyone the benefit of doubt, and unless there are

clear evidence to the contrary, we are still to respect them.



As towards those whom Allah s.w.t. has chosen, especially the

Believers, by virtue of them being a believer, Allah s.w.t. in fact

has conferred special honour upon him/her. Their honour are

given with the support and assurance by Allah s.w.t. Himself, thus

we are duly warned in this verse:
