Page 27 - The Evil Called Mockery

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 25

As a result, they always maintain a cheerful, well-intentioned, posi-
tive, and modest approach toward each other. In the same way, they
know that each person's defects have been sent by Allah as a test.
Therefore, they do not focus on these defects; on the contrary, they
exhibit good behavior in an attempt to compensate for them. They
strenuously avoid the slightest act, glance, or word that could be
misinterpreted as a form of mockery. The believers' opinion of
mockery is reflected in the words of the Prophet Moses (as):
And when Moses said to his people: "Allah commands you
to sacrifice a cow," they exclaimed: "What! Are you making
fun of us?" He replied: "I seek refuge with Allah from
being one of the ignorant!" (Surat al-Baqara, 67)
As we can see, before acting in any way that resembles mock-
ery, the believers immediately take refuge in Allah. They know that
behaving in such a way is not suitable. Their most important reason
for avoiding it is their knowledge that such behavior does not meet
with Allah's approval.
