يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ يَسْخَرْ قَوم ٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرا ً مِنْهُمْ وَلاَ نِسَاء ٌ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْرا ً مِنْهُنَّ وَلاَ تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلاَ تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ بِئْسَ الاِسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الإِيمَانِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَأُوْلَائِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

O you who believe, let not any people ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or call each other names; miserable indeed is the name of wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors.
