THE SIXTH NULLIFIER OF ISLAM Whoever mocks or ridicules any part of the Messenger’s Religion or its rewards or punishments has committed an act of disbelief. The proof for this is Allaah’s statement: “Say: ‘Was it Allaah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking? Make no excuses, you have disbelieved after having had faith.” [Surah At-Tawbah: 65-66] ◄ explanation ►This is such as the one who mocks the prayer or Zakaat or those who pray, making fun of them because of the fact that they pray not due to their personalities. Or he mocks those performing Hajj and ridicules them. Or he mocks those making Tawaaf because of the act they do not because of them personally. Or he makes fun of the rewards of Paradise, such as when it is said to him that Allaah will enter the Muwahhid (one who affirms Tawheed) into Paradise, and Paradise has such and such joys in it, so he jokes and ridicules it, or he mocks the Hellfire. This person commits disbelief based on Allaah’s saying: “Say: ‘Was it Allaah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking? Make no excuses, you have disbelieved after having had faith.’” [Surah At- Tawbah: 65-66] This ayah (verse) was revealed with regard to a group of people that had mocked and ridiculed the Prophet during the battle expedition of Tabook. They said: “We have not seen anyone more eager to fill their stomachs nor more lying with their tongues nor more cowardly in the battlefield than the likes of these companions of ours.” They meant by this the Messenger and his Companions. So this (above) ayah was revealed regarding them.Likewise, if someone reviles Allaah or reviles the Messenger or he reviles Islaam, he commits disbelief.
