Shazia Mirza is very funny too, in a much dryer sense (hence her classic 'five paces' joke).

:sl: my dear brothers and sisters.

Allah (SWT) knows best!!

I'm afraid I would have to disagree. May Allah (SWT) forgive us. Jokes (even if it is light humour) directed at Islam or Muslims are totally unacceptable. The religion of Islam has been perfected by Allah (SWT) and its teachings were beautifully exemplified by our beloved prophet Muhammad Mustafa (SAW).

Islam is a religion which requires total submission to the will of Allah the Almighty. A muslim is to supposedly represent Islam. As muslims we are weak in our faith and unfortunately Islam is judged on our actions.

Through dawah we should highlight our weaknesses and seek to implement solutions. By making a mockery of our weaknesses - not only we as muslims are having a laugh - but unfortunately we are being laughed at by the non-muslims who we should be inviting towards the truth through love, invatation and most of all , example.

May Allah (SWT) guide us.

Brother Idris, you have a very good point, but these standup comics aren't necessarily making a mockery out of Islam. They are making a mockery out of the weaknesses of us as people, but surely that's what comedy is. Besides, I really couldn't care less if non-muslims laugh at us - I've had enough laughs at their expense :p

Also, there's nothing wrong with a good dose of self-parody to lighten the mood. Most of these comics are very careful not to venture into 'taboo' subjects (i.e. not mocking the religion, but certain followers who are a bit, shall we say, confused). Look at the legion of legendary black comedians. Africans have been through hell in this world, and if they can laugh at themeselves, I'm sure we, the blessed Ummah, can laugh at ourselves too. :)

I disagree with you brother.. Perhaps this can help clarify joking in Islam:

An-Nuayman ibn Amr



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In spite of the fact that he fought in the battles of Badr, Uhud, Khandaq and other major encounters, an-Nuayman remained a light-hearted person who was quick at repartee and who loved to play practical jokes on others.

He belonged to the Banu an-Najjar of Madinah and he was among the early Muslims of the city. He was one of those who pledged allegiance to the Prophet at the Second Pledge of Aqabah. He established links with the Quraysh when he married the sister of Abdur Rahman ibn Awl and later Umm Kulthum the daughter of Uqbah ibn Mu'ayt. She had obtained a divorce from her husband az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam on account of his harshness and severity.

Unfortunately for a time an-Nuayman became addicted to alcohol. He was caught drinking and the Prophet had him flogged. He was caught a second time and then he had him flogged again. Because he still did not give up the habit, the Prophet ordered that he be flogged with shoes. When all this did not persuade him to stop drinking, the Prophet finally said: "If he goes back (to drinking) then kill him."

This was a severe Pronouncement and Umayr, one of the companions of the Prophet, understood from it that should he return to the drinking of alcohol, an-Nuayman would go outside the pale of Islam and deserve death. Umayr gave vent to his anger and disgust by saying: "La 'nat Allah alayhi - may God's curse be on him."

The Prophet heard Umayr's imprecation and said: "No, no, don't do (such a thing). Indeed he loves God and His Apostle. The major sin (as this) does not put one outside the community and the mercy of God is close to the believers."

While being firm, the Prophet still held out hope for an-Nuayman's reform especially on account of his past sacrifices as a veteran of Badr. Because he was not someone who went out of his way to conceal his actions, it was easier for him to acknowledge his crimes and repent and seek forgiveness from God. This he did and he won the favor of the Prophet and his companions who enjoyed his pleasantries and his infectious laughter.

Once an-Nuayman went to the suq and saw some food being sold which appeared to be tasty and delightful. He ordered some and sent it to the Prophet as if it were a gift from him. The Prophet was delighted with the food and he and his family ate of it. The vendor of the food then came to an-Nuayman to collect the price of it and an-Nuayman said to him: "Go to the Messenger of God it was for him. He and his family ate it."

The vendor went to the Prophet who in turn asked an-Nuayman: "Didn't you give it to me?" "Yes," said an-Nuayman. "I thought you would like it and I wanted you to eat some of it so I had it presented to you. But I don't have any dirhams to pay the vendor for it. So, pay, O Messenger of God!"

The Prophet had a good laugh and so did his companions. The laugh was at his expense, literally, for he had to pay the price of the unsolicited gift. An-Nuayman felt that two benefits came out of the incident: the Prophet and his family ate food that they enjoyed and the Muslims had a good laugh.

Once Abu Bakr and some companions went on a trading expedition to Busra. Various people on the trip were given fixed duties. Suwaybit ibn Harmalah was made responsible for food and provisions. An-Nuayman was one of the group and on the way he became hungry and asked Suwaybit for some food. Suwaybit refused and an-Nuayman said to him:

"Do you know what I would yet do with you?" and went on to warn and threaten him but still Suwaybit refused. An-Nuayman then went to a group of Arabs in the suq and said to them: "Would you like to have a strong and sturdy slave whom I can sell to you." They said yes and an-Nuayman went on: "He has got a ready tongue and is very articulate. He would resist you and say: 'I am free.' But don't listen

to him"



The men paid the price of the slave - ten qala'is (pieces of gold) and an-Nuayman accepted it and appeared to complete the transaction with business-like efficiency. The buyers accompanied him to fetch theft purchase. Pointing to Suwaybit, he said: "This is the slave whom I sold to you."

The men took hold of Suwaybit and he shouted for dear life and freedom. "I am free. I am Suwaybit ibn Harmalah..."

But they paid no attention to him and dragged him off by the neck as they would have done with any slave.

All the while, an-Nuayman did not laugh or batter an eyelid. He remained completely calm and serious while Suwaybit continued to protest bitterly. Suwaybit's fellow travellers, realizing what was happening, rushed to fetch Abu Bakr, the leader of the caravan, who came running as fast as he could. He explained to the purchasers what had happened and so they released Suwaybit and had their money returned. Abu Bakr then laughed heartily and so did Suwaybit and an-Nuayman. Back in Madinah, when the episode was recounted to the Prophet and his companions, they all laughed even more.

A man once came to the Prophet on a delegation and tethered his camel at the door of the Masjid. The Sahabah noticed that the camel had a large fat hump and their appetite for succulent tasty meat was stimulated. They turned to Nuayman and asked: "Would you deal with this camel?"

An-Nuayman understood what they meant. He got up and slaughtered the camel. The nomad Arab came out and realized what had happened when he saw people grilling, sharing out and eating meat. He shouted in distress: "Waa 'aqraah! Waa Naqataah! (O my camel!)"

The Prophet heard the commotion and came out. He learnt from the Sahabah what had happened and began searching for an-Nuayman but did not find him. Afraid of being blamed and punished, an-Nuayman had fled. The Prophet then followed his footprints. These led to a garden belonging to Danbaah the daughter of az-Zubayr, a cousin of the Prophet. He asked the companions where an-Nuayman was. Pointing to a nearby ditch, they said loudly so as not to alert an-Nuayman: "We haven't found him, O Messenger of God." An-Nuayman was found in the ditch covered with palm branches and leaves and emerged with dirt on his head, beard and face. He stood in the presence of the Prophet who took him by the head and dusted the dirt from his face while he chuckled with laughter. The companions joined in the mirth. The Prophet paid the price of the camel to its owner and they all joined in the feast.

The Prophet obviously regarded an-Nuayman's pranks for what they were light-hearted sallies that were meant to create some relief and laughter. The religion of Islam does not require people to disdain seemly laughter and levity and remain perpetually gloomy. An appropriate sense of humor is often a saving grace.

An-Nuayman lived on after the Prophet and continued to enjoy the affection of Muslims. But did he put an end to his laughter? During the caliphate of Uthman, a group of Sahabah were sitting in the Masjid. They saw Makhramah ibn Nawfal, an old man who was about one hundred and fifteen years old and obviously rather senile. He was related to the sister of Abdur-Rahman ibn Awl, who was a wife of an-Nuayman.

Makhramah was blind. He was so weak that he could hardly move from his place in the Masjid. He got up to urinate and might have done so in the Masjid. But the companions shouted at him to prevent him from doing so.. An-Nuayman got up and went to take him to another place, as he was instructed. What is this other place that an-Nuayman took him to? In fact he took him only a short distance away from where he was sitting at first and sat him down.

The place was still in the Masjid!



People shouted at Makhramah and made him get up again all in a frenzy. The poor old man was distressed and said: "Who has done this?" "An-Nuayman ibn Amr," he was told.

The old man swore and announced that he would bash an-Nuayman on the head with his stick if he should meet him.



An-Nuayman left and returned. He was up to some prank of his again. He saw Uthman ibn Allan, the Amir al-Muminim, performing Salat in the Masjid. Uthman was never distracted when he stood for Prayer. An-Nuayman also saw Makhramah. He went up to him and in a changed voice said: "Do you want to get at an-Nuayman?"

The old man remembered what an-Nuayman had done. He remembered his vow and shouted: "Yes, where is he?" An-Nuayman took him by the hand and led him to the place where the Khalifah Uthman stood and said to him: "Here he is!"

The old man raised his staff and bashed the head of

Uthman. Blood flowed and the people shouted: "It's the Amir al-Muminin!"

The dragged Makhramah away and some people set out to get an-Nuayman but Uthman restrained them and asked them to leave him alone. In spite of the blows he had suffered, he was still able to laugh at the deeds of an-Nuayman.

An-Nuayman lived up to the time of Muawiyah when fitnah saddened him and discord filled him with anguish. He lost his levity and laughed no more.

Salaam,

you guys neeeeed to see this clip:

http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/redir?s...%2520Doggs.mp3

its hilarious, these are my fav:



Azhar Usman:

"Cat Stevens, he's a pretty cool cat..."
"No man he is Cat brother, Cat Stevens!"

Azhar says: "Man I'm just waitin' for Snoop Digg to convert so we can have both cat and dog! And the uncles will say: "Islam is the fastest growing religion in the Animal Kingdom! Cats and Dogs become Muslim... Just you think it, first have snoop doggy doggy and then have Scooby Doo!"

Snoop Dogg would become the most sought after speaker, even Sheikh Abdul would run him against the wall:

"Insha'allah we will have a speech from brother Snooby. Brother Snooby ya'ni he was a snoob doggy doggy! Ya'ni he was a kalb! Masha'allah he went from a kalb, now he is Muslim! We should make du'a that Allah makes George Bush muslim, because he is also a dog! Ya akhi kalb, brother Snooby..."

Snoop Dogg: "Asalaamalizzle. I decided to become a muslizzle foe schizzle..." (LOL:shade: ;D I should try that)

Azhar:

Can you imagine Snoop Dogg converting to islam? The Uncles will have a field day, "All these muslim rappers are muslim: Tupac is actually 'To Pakistani'! And Eminem! Think about it, starts with an 'm' ends with an 'm', Muslim! He is coming on stage 'Slim Shady, Slim Shady' But everyone knows its muslim Shady! Actually...! Its muslim Shaadi!"

Asalam o alikum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh..

The Prophet (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) is known to have always told the truth even when he joked with his Companions. In fact, he even cursed those who make lies just to make people laugh:

Abu Hurairah (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that when they said, “Messenger of Allah, do you make jokes with us!” He (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) replied, “I say nothing but the truth.” (Tirmidhi 4885) [keep in mind that the beloved Prophet (salallahu alai hi wasalam is suppose to be our role model.]

Mu'awiyah Ibn Jaydah al-Qushayri (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, “Woe to him who tells things, speaking falsely, to make people laugh thereby. Woe to him! Woe to him!” (Abu Dawud 4972).

:sl: my dear sister in Islam (Sweet Sorrow)

I have heard/read the narrations about the various jokes played by An-Nuayman ibn Amr. He often made the beloved prophet Muhammad Mustafa (SAW) and his illustrious companions laugh. As you are aware, Islam is a beautiful religion and obviously, it permits humour. An-Nuayman ibn Amr did not mock/joke about Islam or any aspects of Sharia.

As muslims we have to live our lives according to the commands of Allah (SWT) in the manner and beautiful teachings of our beloved prophet Muhammad Mustafa (SAW). However, the type of humour I am referring to can be briefly exemplified by what is to follow. Do you seriously think that if Prohet Muhammad (SAW) was present in our company today he would laugh at the following? I think not!!!


I presume you have heard of Shazia Mirza who performs in the male-dominated, beer-swilling world of British stand-up comedy. She Exploits Islam to pander to the general explotation of Islam by the Western media. Only Allah (SWT) knows if she is a practicing Muslim, yet she uses the hijab (doesn't wear it outside her set) in order to deliver her gags.

The following are examples of Shazia Mirza’s jokes and on reading them, I from the bottom of my heart am grieved.

"Last year, I went to Mecca to repent my sins, and I had to walk around the black stone. All the women were dressed in black, you could only see their eyes. And I felt a hand touch my bottom. I ignored it. I thought, 'I'm in Mecca, it must be the hand of God.' But then it happened again. I didn't complain. Clearly, my prayers had been answered."

“I looked really sexy in my Hijab”


“Why Muslim men traditionally subjugate women they blame for sexually provoking them, rather than trying to control their own urges. Why they might date white women, but never marry them. Why they apparently think visiting prostitutes is acceptable.”

She describes a Muslim women’s swimming session at her local swimming pool in East London in revelatory detail. ‘They all swim in one direction – towards Mecca,’ she jokes.

I'm sure that God has a sense of humor. I hope he finds my jokes funny."


'All men are pigs. ('Especially you sir', to a heckler). Unfortunately I can't eat pork.'

Women in Saudia Arabia: 'Muslim women are not allowed to drive cars: they can't see where they're going.'

About the male gaze: "I was walking past this building site in Mecca when a group of Muslim builders shouted, 'Show us your . . . face.' "

On the search in Iraq for Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction: "Look up his wife's purdah (dress), because nobody looks up there."

there's also the joke about the female suicide bomber who asks, "Does my bomb look big in this?"

Why do very orthodox Muslim women wear black gloves all the time? In case they want to go shoplifting.

I fail to find the humour in these so-called 'JOKES'. I personally feel prophet Muhammad (SAW) would be disgusted at this.

Now what you guys have to understand is, Hamzah doesnt take the mickey out of Islam, he takes the mickey out of people who are doing silly stuff. Most, if not all, of his articles have a purpose, a moral, showing the community something they do, which perhaps they shouldnt. Yes, he may exxagerate sometimes, but thats what makes you laugh, and quite frankly, if that changes people, I think it is a god thing...

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Well Azhar Usman has his own website (http://www.azhar.com/clips/index.html) and he has been on tour with 2 other brothers for more than a year all over Canada and USA..I am sure he must have visited most of the Schools in USA and Canada...(http://www.allahmademefunny.com/)

Of the three, Azhar was funny...because of his roots (desi) he makes fun of desis...especially desi parents and aunties...He has released a CD as well and they sell it normally on his tour shows...I would certainly recommend anyone to buy his CD... When I saw him in his show, I thought that salam was the funniest...but listen to the CD...there are lots more!

Being pakistani myself his jokes were just so true and funny. I know some rothers here have said Chris Rock etc. are funnier but i dnt knw, is it really worth listening to those other comedians who often backbite and talk about women in an offensive and disrespectful way, wheras Azhar usman and Preacher Moss keep to the limits of Shariah
