    Lol, we used as a jokes sometimes. Bue we don't mean it literally . I love use these because they sounds cool an Arabic .

    Not everyone finds it a joke to be called schizo, crazy or suffering from a mental illness, whether it is meant literally or not. InshaAllah when you grow up you will leave behind childish games and name calling and be able to discuss properly like an adult.

                Why not just say the person is FOS? Example He is Currently F.O.S.

                  Bismillaah,

                  It is sad to see muslims calling other muslims names...

                  4911 O you who believe, let not a people ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or call each other names. Evil indeed is the reversion to wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors.

                    My issue is that the word schizo is being used as a derogatory term. There is nothing derogatory about individuals with schizophrenia. They are people just like the rest of us.

                    That is why it is wrong to randomly call some one schizo. And it is not just Arab culture. It occurs to some extent in every culture. That does not make it right.

                    You should be able to understand something as basic as this. Thereformer

                      What about the Quran? Should it not use "crazy" as a derogatory comment either? Yes, schizophrenia can unfortunately be classified as a form of "being crazy", sadly. I got this from a medical website describing the symptoms

                      Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that affects the way a person acts, thinks, and sees the world. People with schizophrenia have an altered perception of reality, often a significant loss of contact with reality. They may see or hear things that don?t exist, speak in strange or confusing ways, believe that others are trying to harm them, or feel like they?re being constantly watched. With such a blurred line between the real and the imaginary, schizophrenia makes it difficult?even frightening?to negotiate the activities of daily life. In response, people with schizophrenia may withdraw from the outside world or act out in confusion and fear.

                      Clearly if you were going to specify "crazy" by a mental illness, schizophrenia would be it. Now, lets look how the Quran uses "crazy" as a derogatory term....

                      Why do they not reflect upon their friend (the messenger)? He is not crazy. He is simply a profound warner.
                      They said, "O you who received this reminder, you are crazy.
                      We are fully aware of what they hear, when they listen to you, and when they conspire secretly - the disbelievers say,"You are following a crazy man."
                      "He is simply a man gone crazy. Just ignore him for awhile."
                      Have they decided that he is crazy? Indeed, he has brought the truth to them, but most of them hate the truth.
                      He said, "Your messenger who is sent to you is crazy."
                      "Either he fabricated lies about GOD, or he is crazy." Indeed, those who disbelieve in the Hereafter have incurred the worst retribution; they have gone far astray.
                      Say, "I ask you to do one thing Devote yourselves to GOD, in pairs or as individuals, then reflect. Your friend (Rashad) is not crazy. He is a manifest warner to you, just before the advent of a terrible retribution."
                      They said, "Shall we leave our gods for the sake of a crazy poet?"
                      But they turned away from him, saying, "Well educated, but crazy!"
                      But he turned away, in arrogance, and said, "Magician, or crazy."
                      You shall remind the people. With your Lord's blessing's upon you, you are neither a soothsayer, nor crazy.
                      You have attained a great blessing from your Lord; you are not crazy.
                      Those who disbelieved show their ridicule in their eyes when they hear the message and say, "He is crazy!"

                      Do you get offended by the Quran too?

                        Peace

                        None of those examples you have given are God labeling someone or a group as "crazy". Rather it is a response to the common nature of humans to label another individual as crazy, as a way to discount them. The examples you gave include Prophet Noah, Prophet Mohammed.

                        Certain individuals on this site like to use schizo, crazy, mentally ill to label others they do not agree with, as an easy way to discount their opinions.

                        So I am sorry, I don't see where you are coming from.

                        If I misunderstood what you said, please elaborate
