Islamic humour is the long tradition of humour in Islam, dating as far back as the Prophet Muhammad.
In accordance with Islam, Muslims generally abide by some basic rules on making jokes, such as humour being within the limits of Islamic tolerance, and not going beyond the bounds of truth.
There are many Muslim comedians around the world who use comedy as a tool to educate people about their religion. In the United States there is Baba Ali, Omar Regan and the Allah Made Me Funny comedy tour featuring Azhar Usman, Preacher Moss and Mohammed Amer; in the United Kingdom there is Shazia Mirza; in South Africa there is Riaad Moosa and in Norway, the controversial Shabana Rehman.[1]
