Mockers in the Holy Quran from Mockery of Past to War of Symbols

Share this post :

In an age where mockery of religious symbols comes from every screen, page, and scene, this book offers a profound Qur’anic reading of the phenomenon of mockery, one that moves beyond emotional reaction to deconstruct the psychological, symbolic, and cultural structure of satirical discourse, both past and present.

Between the mockery of pre-Islamic ignorance that confronted the prophets and the waves of systematic ridicule in modern media and social platforms, the book charts a Qur’anic map of resistance: from the wisdom of response, to the depth of symbolism, to the restoration of sacred meaning. This is not a book about outrage or emotional outbursts. Rather, it is a book about meaning degraded in the name of humor, about symbols emptied of their significance in the name of freedom, and about sanctity eroded under the weight of daily derision. It is a call to rebuild symbolic consciousness, to fortify awareness, and to reclaim a relationship with the sacred as envisioned by the Qur'an: firm, transcendent, and resistant to trivialization.





Note: Here is an abstract of the book. The book is currently available in Arabic only.
