Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. The trials have multiplied, and the misguided callers have multiplied. I heard some of the callers say to the audience that he is calling a Jew to Islam, so he recited from Surat Maryam, then he recited ordinary speech, reciting it in the manner of Qur'anic recitation, then he said jokingly to the audience: "This is the Surah of the Apple." What is the ruling on this? And is this considered mockery of the Qur'an?
Answer:
Yes, if he brings forth speech from himself and resembles it to the speech of Allah, and recites it as he recites the speech of Allah, and calls it a surah, then this is a great danger. He may fall into apostasy with this speech, even if he was joking.[At-Tawbah 9:65-66] The one who jokes with the Qur'an and responds with speech saying, "This is like the Qur'an," and recites it and misleads the people into thinking it is the Qur'an, this is the consequence of this action. Yes.

(65) And if you ask them, they will surely say, "We were only conversing and playing." Say, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?" (66) Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief. If We pardon one faction of you - We will punish another faction because they were criminals.
قُلْ أَبِاللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ
