Similarly, the sweetness of following lusts escapes sooner, but the punishment remains.”

Our Attitude Concerning Mockery of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
We and every Muslim who feels pride in his religion is grieved by what these fools and criminals have done by mocking our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who is the best man who ever walked on this earth, and he is the leader of the earlier and later generations, may the blessings and peace of my Lord be upon him.
Allah says:
وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ قُلْ أَبِاللَّهِ وَآيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ * لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا قَدْ كَفَرْتُمْ بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ إِنْ نَعْفُ عَنْ طَائِفَةٍ مِنْكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَائِفَةً بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ
“If you ask them (about this), they declare: ‘We were only talking idly and joking.’ Say: ‘Was it at Allah, and His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that you were mocking? Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimoon (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.).”
Surah Tawbah (9): 65-66
Shaykhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah {رحمه الله} said concerning these hypocrites who make fun of Islam:
This indicates that they did not themselves think that they had committed an act of kufr; rather they thought that that did not constitute kufr. So, Allah explained that ridiculing Allah and His revelations and His Messenger constituted kufr and meant that the person had disbelieved after having believed. This indicates that they had faith, albeit weak, and they did this haraam action knowing that it was haraam, but they did not think that it constituted kufr. However, it was kufr by means of which they became disbelievers, although they did not think that it was permissible.
See Majmou Fatāwā (7/273)
Allah will suffice His Prophet ﷺ against the criminals who mock him. He says:
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الأَبْتَرُ
“For he who hates you (O Muhammad), he will be cut off (from posterity and every good thing in this world and in the Hereafter).” Surah Kawthar (108): 3 - i.e., he is scorned and humiliated and cut off from all that is good.
Shaykhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah {رحمه الله} said:
When the Muslims besieged a stronghold and its people resisted, then they heard them mocking and reviling the Prophet ﷺ, they would sense that victory was at hand, and it would only be a short time before Allaah granted them victory, to avenge His Messenger ν.

“Rushing to repentance from sins is obligatory immediately,
And it is not permissible to delay it,
For when the sinner delays it if he then repents from the sins there is still more repentance he must do ,
And that is repent for delaying repentance.“
