Does the Quran allow the use of nicknames ?

That is not what is said in the Holy Qur’an What is said is to distort other people’s names by way of derision you know, just to mock at them or to belittle them, to insult them to hurt them in any manner for all these wrong intentions to call somebody with a different name than he has that is called la-tan-na-bu-ju-bi-lal-sahab but out of love, if you call somebody a papu or anything else this is not what the Holy Qur’an means Any sort of nickname?

No, nickname is not used in the Holy Qur’an at all the word nickname In the English version the Holy Qur’an only says la-tan-na-bu-ju-bi-lal-sahab which means what I have just told you to distort somebody’s name against his wishes to hurt him in any way that is tan-na-bu-ju-bi-lal-sahab it is not just a nickname which Allah prohibits
