Surah Al-Baqarah

Verse 15

2:15 Al-Baqarah

‎اللَّهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ 

Allāh mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly (Al-Baqarah 2:15)

Surah Baqarah Verse 15

🍀Mockery, in the words of the Arabs, is the mocker manifesting to the mocked what openly agrees with him in terms of statements or actions. Our Lord has made rules in this world for the people of hypocrisy, based on what they make evident with their tongues - in attesting to Allāh, His Messenger and what he brought from His Lord. In addition to this, Allāh has prepared for them an painful punishment – even afflicting them in the lowest pitfalls (of the Fire). In doing so, He is mocking them, ridiculing them, deceiving them, and plotting against them. 

🍀As for His saying, “prolongs them in their transgression” then this refers to His increasing (their freedom by) allowing them to get carried away, and leaving them in their tyranny and rebellion.

🍀Ṭuġyān (transgression) is going beyond limits and injustice, meaning Allāh fills them and increases them in their misguidance and disbelief, bewildered and confused. They hesitate in their disbelief and misguidance - whose impurity has engulfed them, and whose filth has become lofty over them – hesitating and bewildered, misguided, never going into the light of īmān. This is because Allāh has impressed upon their hearts and sealed them, blinding their vision from guidance, and covering it so that they cannot see the right guidance nor find the right way.

🍀In this noble āyah is evidence of Allāh’s defence of His Messenger and the believers, for Allāh has appointed the punishment of the mockers in the worldly life and in the hereafter.

🔮Whoever mocks his brother, for a sin repented from, will not die till he himself falls into the same

💎 I ask Allah to keep us away from all types of mockery, Aameen
