Al-Hujurat 11

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَٓاءٌ مِنْ نِسَٓاءٍ عَسٰٓى اَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهُنَّۚ وَلَا تَلْمِزُٓوا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْاَلْقَابِۜ بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْا۪يمَانِۚ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ ۝١١

English Translation

11O you who believe! Let not men among you mock other men; who knows, those who are mocked may be worthier than those who mock. Likewise, let not women mock other women, for those who are mocked may be worthier than those who mock. Do not find fault with and belittle one another. Do not call one another by offensive nicknames. How wretched it is to be branded with transgression/straying from the path after having attained faith! Whoever does not give up these kinds of behavior, it is they who are the wrongdoers who persist in error.
