The question

Is the saying: "Whoever cheats passes, and whoever relies on himself stays in his class" considered a mockery of religion, especially when students say it during exams? Is laughing at others speaking classical Arabic or imitating it, or comparing events to "the Great Disaster" mentioned in the Quran, considered forbidden? What is the ruling on preferring to invite a neighbor over a cousin for a special occasion?

The answer

Intense fear of apostasy indicates that the questioner is far from disbelief, and what she feels are merely waswas (whispers/temptations) for which a cure is available. The saying: "He who transmits, moves" is an invitation to forbidden cheating. Mocking someone who speaks classical Arabic is not permissible, and glorifying Arabic is part of glorifying Islam. Inviting a neighbor before a relative to a wedding is permissible. Using the phrase: "That is the greatest calamity" for worldly matters is permissible metaphorically.
