Making jokes and speaking in a mocking tone is not acceptable while talking about God and religion. Religion cannot be made a topic of entertainment.

All Mahdis have been mocked, all prophets have been mocked. But in the verse, Allah says; ".. what they used to mock at will engulf them." In the end they are defeated. This is all because of their idiocy and stupidity. Mocking Prophets, mocking the Mahdis is a sign of idiocy. It is one of the 101 signs. The idiots mock Prophets. And there are also many other signs of idiocy.

Gaiety is a quality. Happiness is a quality. Joking is a quality. Being sociable and easy is a quality. For instance kindness, courtesy is a quality.

How could a grim, atrocious attack towards people's religion, faith and sacred values be named as art? Can performing art be a way for disturbing people, attempting to upset and irritate them, making them uneasy? That is a deficiency in decorum, that is a lack of culture and manners. It cannot be art.

You assume that you will be saved in the hereafter by mocking it, or you will get over your fear, but this will not be the case. You simply become more guilty and you are subjected to more torture. You suffer more.

While angels take your soul, you feel terrified. You cannot dare to mock the hereafter. You cannot commit mockery when you are forced to kneel down in hell. That mood of fun can not exist there. There will be no one applauding. You can also not find any followers who will accompany you there in your mocking.

They say, "We are preaching Islam, but they mock us." Who is the One that makes them mock? God is the One Who does that. He creates it at the same time with the preaching. It is a hidden honor created by God to increase the worth of preaching, of that act of worship. It is against unbelief, it is in favor of Muslims. It is an honor for Muslims and a scourge on disbelief. When you do not take that mocking seriously, your reward would increase many fold.

If you define the reward you get while preaching religion as three in numbers, it becomes thirty when you do it after being mocked. If the severity of mocking is high, it would be three hundred. If it is very very severe, it would be three thousand, let me say. What is your goal? Is it not an act of worship? God creates an act of worship for you.

Those who mock the ones preaching do so because they are fiercely effected, or else why would they bother to do so? They would have never bothered if they were not effected, they would have gone about their own business. They mock merely to calm themselves: That is because their good conscience starts disturbing them. That is a precaution taken by unbelievers against that disturbance.

Some people communicate religion but they say, "I am communicating religion yet they are making fun of me." What kind of a preacher are you? You do not know the first thing about the Qur'an? You hit your feet on the floor and it makes a sound right? When you communicate, they would of course make fun of you; this is the law, this is the law of God. If you are preaching religion they will of course make fun of you. Why are you surprised about it?

When they are made fun of during their preaching they say, "I am demoralized." They have no idea about destiny, they have no idea about the Qur'an. Thank God for seeing such a miracle. Be amazed; your good deeds are increasing while their sins are increasing. What is your goal? Is it not to attain good deeds? You then say that you are sad. Why should one be sad because his good deeds have increased?

The existence of atheists, all their writings, their speeches mocking religion are there to increase the good deeds Muslims attain. As one continues in his faith despite all these, that makes him more valuable.

It is unacceptable to make jokes about religion and faith. Those who do such jokes are weak in faith.

Muslims are meticulous and reverent on topics related to religion and faith. Making jokes on religious topics is not proper.

There can be no joke regarding religious issues. A Muslim is obliged to reflect on his state at death bed and his state in the Hereafter.

Mockery shows the lack of character and immorality of the irreligious. This is an honor and beauty for believers.

The natural weaknesses of human beings should not be used to make jokes.

Jokes should always be about honoring people. A joke that makes people uncomfortable is not a joke.

Accepting jokes about religion as normal and ordinary only shows how far removed a person is from religion. A believer would never accept that.

Making a joke is not something easy. It requires intelligence, care and will-power. The jokes most people make generally aim to offend and humiliate the other party. These cannot be regarded as jokes. Such a language would be impertinent. Behaviors aimed to nourish one’s own arrogance and disgrace the other side are unacceptable.

At the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) police stations will be vacant, prisons will be vacant. All police stations will be closed, all prisons will be closed. People will be astonished asking themselves; "Why have we ever felt the need to establish police stations? Why have we ever felt the need to build prisons? Why have we suffered all these pains?"

Anyone who is sincere can be friends. They need to be really honest and never tell lies and that would be it. They need to wear their hearts on their sleeves and that would be it. Such people are radiant people.

In the time of the Mahdi, the entire world will turn into masjids. Youngsters will have fun everywhere; an air of brotherhood will be the basis everywhere. There will be no burglaries, no thefts, no extortion, no pain, and no suffering insha'Allah.

The system of the Mahdi will put away weaponry industry, all the weapons, wars, blood and gunpowder. Prisons, police stations, military barracks etc. will all be put away. In the time of the Mahdi, there will only be peace in the world. There will only be love.

Building walls means building prisons. Prisons gripe one's soul. There are prisons, walls in the Hell. We do not want walls in this world. We do not want prisons. At the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) all walls will be demolished. All prisons will be demolished. Everyone will be in a festive mood.
