Haram Haqiqatjou #62: Insulting Muslims as “Retarded Bootlickers”

Accusation

Daniel Haqiqatjou mocks Muhammad Umar Mustafa, sarcastically suggesting that Allah SWT sent an “army of retarded bootlickers” to avenge His awliya (friends of Allah), referring to the followers of Shaykh Faraz Rabbani and Maulana Tameem Ahmadi. Haqiqatjou uses offensive language and a disrespectful tone to mock both the scholars and their followers. All of this is explicitly haram.

Haram Action
Daniel Haqiqatjou’s use of derogatory terms like “retarded bootlickers” is clearly haram and requires seeking forgiveness from Allah SWT and the people he mocked and name called.

Evidence of Haram
Allah SWT explicitly forbids mockery and ridicule, especially in interactions with Muslims. The Quran advises:
“O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them.” (Quran 49:11).

Additionally, by mocking the followers of respected scholars like Shaykh Faraz Rabbani and Maulana Tameem Ahmadi, Haqiqatjou indirectly shows disrespect to the scholars themselves. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized the importance of honoring scholars:
“He is not of us who does not respect our elders, show mercy to our young, and know the rights of our scholars.” (Ahmad).
