Is a Sense of Humor agains the Muslim Religion?

Question

Im not asking this in a hateful way, Im serious. I've met a lot of Muslims and though some are very nice, they dont seem to have a sense of humor, except maybe for some black Muslims (Nation of Islam) but I know that's a different sect.

Answer 1

thats not true.mabye the muslims you know are just boring people.im muslim and all i do is laugh all day.i love comedy movies.i was always the class clown.

Answer 2

Well, there are 1.3 billion muslims in the world. Being part of a certain religion does not determine whether or not you have a sense of humour, it is simply a personality trait. Having a sense of humour is not mentioned in Islamic teachings. Just as in Christianity and Judaism, muslims are taught to do good deeds and respect others.

Answer 3

no bro sense of humor is not against our religion but it depends first off it shouldn't hurt any body's feelings no matter the other person is Muslim or not secondly it shouldn't be out of limits like it shouldn't be in bad language other wise its all good and of course every person has different personalities so may be Muslims u know don't have the sense of humor...

Answer 4

You haven't met me. I'm Muslim and I have a sense of humor. You got to get to know them a little better. Guess its like that for all religions.

Answer 5

Sense of humor is not against Islamic laws. Muslims can make fun, play jokes and everything. BUT, if the sense of humor has any sort of intention to disrespect, demean, humiliate or hurt any individual, then it is reprehensible. And the jokes are not supposed to contain any lies and fabrication of facts.

Answer 6

Here is the conflict ...
Non-Muslims sense of humor is usually inappropriate, or perverted, thus NO we do not have YOUR sense of humor.
Our Prophet [pbuh] had a big sense of humor and often joked around. In a clean way.

Answer 7

Well,I think this zeros down to whether you think we're human or not. As a humans were created with senses we didn't ask for neither can we deny.

Also, what's funny to you doesn't mean it's funny it's funny to everyone regardless of race, color, religion,..).

Speaking for myself, I love a good joke as long as it's doesn't involve insult what I hold dearest to me (family, religion,..etc). It's just the high standards I uphold and the sensible person that I am.

These guys are Muslim and funny http://www.allahmademefunny.com/comics.html

They are Muslim comedians, one was a writer for SNL. Try to catch them on tour and judge whether they are funny or not.

Answer 8

i know many and am married to one andthey all have a sense of humor..i meanitdepends on the person i guess and muslims are usually more like keep to themselves..but as far as it being against the religion its not at all...its encouraged to laugh and have a good timme and socialize among friends.

Answer 9

Muslims do have wonderful sense of humour, but they are careful what they joke about, and anyway , aren't there more important things to life than making other people laugh.

Answer 10

Sense of humour is not discouraged in Islam. The prophet (sallallahu alaihiwasallam) used to joke with his sahabas (followers). but he refrained from jokes that hurt other people and he also discouraged bursting out laughing. but smiling and short laughter is permissible in Islam.

Answer 11

I never notice that, I'm sure it happened around me but I never paid any attention. One thing I remember well is I used to have a neighbor either Iraqi or Iranian who liked to scratch his balls in front of other people.
