What is the ruling on one who disparages the name "Az-Zumar," which is the name of a Surah in the Quran, if his disparagement is directed at a person's name? And what is the ruling on one who laughs at his disparagement?

It is not permissible to belittle people or mock them, for Allah Almighty says: ﴿O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them.﴾ Ibn Kathir interpreted ridicule as belittling and mocking people. Al-Sa'di mentioned that ridicule indicates the ridiculer's self-admiration and a heart filled with moral flaws. The use of the phrase "Ya " is not considered mockery of the Quran, because it is an Arabic word in which the name of the Surah is shared with a person's name.
