MOCKERY AND SARCASM
Islam has called to the mutual respect and esteem. According to the Islamic education, it is illicit
to mock or debase others whether by words, deeds, or indication in order not to arouse animosity
and discrepancy. God says:
O, you who believe! Let not one people laugh at another people perchance they may be better
than they, nor let women laugh at other women, perchance they may better than they. And do
not find fault with your own people nor call one another by nickname. Evil is a bad name after
faith. And whoever does not turn, these it is that are the unjust.
Mockery, carping, and defamation bring on heart malice, rupture the bonds of mutual association,
amiability and disobedience, and occasion God’s scorn. Mockers are surely wronging themselves
and approaching God’s chastisement and castigation.
SCHADENFREUDE
Schadenfreude stands for the enjoyment obtained from others’ troubles. It suggests ignobility and
meanness. Experiments have shown that those who are enjoyed for others’ misfortunes would
eventually be inflicted by similar misfortunes. Imam as‐Sadiq (a) said, “He whoever expresses glee
for others’ misfortunes will not leave this world before being inflicted by a misfortune.”[1]
Schadenfreude originates spites and animosity among people.
GARRULITY
Islam has called to avoid garrulity and ill wording and the like matters since they waste time
uselessly. More than one Quranic text refers to this ill manner. God says as He mentions some
qualifications of the favorable servants:
And when they hear idle talk they turn aside from it and say: We shall have our deeds and you
shall have your deeds. Peace be upon you, we do not desire the ignorant.
And when they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly.
[1] Refer to Jamiussaadat: 2/283.
Garrulity comprises all of the sorts of idle talk that arouses lusts and corrupts moralities.
Islam has worked for disciplining and purifying the mentalities against defects and misfortunes,
for saving people against the moral and mental blotches that lead to irregularity and deviation
