“And there never came an apostle to them but they mocked him.”
quran
“And apostles before you were certainly mocked at, but I gave respite to those who disbelieved, then I destroyed them; how then was My requital (of evil)? / Is He then Who watches every soul as to what it earns? And yet they give associates to Allah! Say: Give them a name; nay, do you mean to inform Him of what He does not know in the earth, or (do you affirm this) by an outward saying? Rather, their plans are made to appear fair-seeming to those who disbelieve, and they are kept back from the path; and whom Allah makes err, he shall have no guide.”
“And certainly apostles before you were mocked at, but that which they mocked at encompassed the scoffers among them.”
“Alas for the servants! there comes not to them an apostle but they mock at him.”
“Irreverence is highly underrated.”
Rain Bojangles
“Thus we play the fool with the time and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.”
William Shakespeare
