Al-Hujrat
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا يَسۡخَرۡ قَوۡمٞ مِّن قَوۡمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُواْ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا نِسَآءٞ مِّن نِّسَآءٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُنَّۖ وَلَا تَلۡمِزُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَلَا تَنَابَزُواْ بِٱلۡأَلۡقَٰبِۖ بِئۡسَ ٱلِٱسۡمُ ٱلۡفُسُوقُ بَعۡدَ ٱلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَتُبۡ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ
11O you who believe! Men should not mock other men. Maybe the one you mocked is closer to Allah than you (then why should you put him down). And women should not mock other women. Maybe the one she mocked is closer to Allah than her (then why should you put her down). Don’t defame yourself. (Note the eloquence of the Quran here. If you defame others, they will defame you. Hence, you are actually defaming yourself). And don’t give nicknames to others to tease them. It is a terrible thing to insult your brother after having Faith. And whosoever does not repent, they are the wrong-doers.
