There is a kind of a sin that most of us barely recognize when we commit it. It is the mocking of the religion of Allah.
Many of us make jokes about the religion or about issues in the religion, and we don't even realize we are doing it. We joke about the man with multiple wives, we joke about the woman's hijab, and we joke about the kafir holidays (going to a Muslim and jokingly saying Merry Christmas). We find that we can make a joke out of everything, and we do. And we consider it insignificant.
Our tongues can land us in the Hellfire or they can save us from it. Rasool Allah said,
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said,
"A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter a word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity
and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire."
[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 8, Book 76, Number 485]
We have to be very careful not to fall into the trap of joking about the deen. Not only is it haram for us to make fun of the deen or elements of the deen, we are not to sit in the company of those who do so.
In short, we need to be careful about what we say as much and maybe even more than what we do.
The Prophet's (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) advise to us to speak a good word or remain silent. We cannot ignore this matter.
Because in the religion of Islam, nothing is unimportant. We must take it as a whole.
