Through a thorough reading of the texts of the Holy Qur'an,
Dr. Mohammad Murtada explores the depths of sarcasm as a complex psychological and social behavior that reveals rejection and fear of change. This behavior is used to undermine religious symbols and shatter the spiritual aura surrounding them.
The project focuses on understanding the mindset of the mocker by analyzing the structure of satirical discourse, its stance toward change, and the mechanisms it employs to obscure symbolic truth. As depicted in the Qur'an, mockery is not merely an immediate reaction to the message, but rather a recurring strategy adopted by the arrogant, the masses, and pseudo-intellectuals alike, as a means of evading intellectual confrontation.
This book is an explicit call to restore symbolic consciousness, in a time when struggles of faith are fought with words, images, and laughter. It is an attempt to understand the mocker as an adversary and a troubled being, hiding behind mockery because he lacks the courage necessary to look the truth in the face.
