Can a Muslim make fun of others or defame others or call others by bad nicknames?

کیا کوئی مسلمان دوسروں کا مزاق اڑا سکتا ہے یا کسی کو بدنام کرسکتا ہے یا کسی کو برے نام سے پکارسکتا ہے؟

Surah Al-Hujurat: 49 - Ayah: 11
Arabic
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا يَسۡخَرۡ قَوۡمٌ مِّنۡ قَوۡمٍ عَسٰٓى اَنۡ يَّكُوۡنُوۡا خَيۡرًا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا نِسَآءٌ مِّنۡ نِّسَآءٍ عَسٰٓى اَنۡ يَّكُنَّ خَيۡرًا مِّنۡهُنَّ​ۚ وَلَا تَلۡمِزُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَكُمۡ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوۡا بِالۡاَلۡقَابِ​ؕ بِئۡسَ الِاسۡمُ الۡفُسُوۡقُ بَعۡدَ الۡاِيۡمَانِ​ ۚ وَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَتُبۡ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ‏
English
Believers, let not a group (of men) scoff at another group, it may well be that the latter (at whom they scoff) are better than they; nor let a group of women scoff at another group, it may well be that the latter are better than they. And do not taunt one another, nor revile one another by nicknames. It is an evil thing to gain notoriety for ungodliness after belief. Those who do not repent are indeed the wrong-doers.
Urdu
Aey logon jo imaan laye ho, na mard dusre mardon ka mazaak udayein, ho sakta hai ke woh unse behtar hon, aur na auratein dusri auraton ka mazaak udayein, ho sakta hai ke woh unse behtar hon. Aapas mein ek dusre par taan na karo, aur na ek dusre ko burey alaqab (titles) se yaad karo. Imaan lane ke baad fisq mein naam paida karna bahut buri baat hai. Jo log is rawish se baaz na aayein wahi zalim hain
