When i was a child or teen i was told it's not allowed to use Quran Verses to make fun of it or change a word to make fun of it. But in Arabic newspaper you often find headlines or Articles which have as a headline a part of a Verse with some interchanged word or words.

For example you have in Surat an-Nissa' (4:11) the following expression:

يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ ۖ

Allah instructs you concerning your children: ...

And as an Article title i found:

يوصيكم الله في مواطنيكم

Allah instructs you concerning your citizens

My Question(s):

• is such a borrowing of a Quran text or maybe a kind of metaphor allowed?
• And are there any references for the use of Quran (or Hadith) in a non serious context?
• And what's the exact stance of Islam about that?
