The question

Is it permissible to tell a joke that involves ridiculing the names of the surahs of the Noble Qur’an, such as one that talks about a righteous man asking two suitors to recite surahs with names that match their own, and what is the Islamic ruling on that?

The answer

The story mentioned does not show mockery of the Quran; rather, it expresses the second man's apprehension about being tasked with reciting a long surah and his desire to suffice with a short surah like Al-Kawthar. It should be noted that an abundance of humorous anecdotes ought to be avoided, as some jurists have considered it to be among the things that violate muru'ah (chivalry/integrity).
