Quotes to remember

29. A nomad said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ “Advise me.” And he ﷺ said, “If a man defamed you with what he knows about you, do not defame him with what you know about him. For the sin is against him.” The nomad said, “I never abused any person after that.”

Salafs sayings

Sins are like chains and locks preventing their perpetrator from roaming the vast garden of Tawhid and reaping the fruits of righteous actions.

There Is No Harm in Humor, As Long As What You Say Is True

Question:

As long as we are not mocking the religion, are we permitted in Islam to make jokes?
Answer:

As long as you are truthful in your humor, and as long as you do not go to excesses, humor, witticisms, and jokes are permitted in Islam. The Messenger of Allaah showed humor, but he would only speak the truth. But if you lie when you make a joke, remember this Hadith: Woe to him who tells lies so that others may laugh ...woe to him, and again woe to him. [1] And with Allaah is the facilitation to do what is right.
[1] Abu Dawud 4990, At-Tirmithi no. 2315 Sunan Al-Kubrah for Nasai 6/509 no. 11655.
