Social problems can be discussed in different ways. One is a philosophical interpretation of the essence of the problem, another is a historical consideration of the origin of the problem, and the third is a sociological analysis of the relationship between the problem and the development, namely decadence, of social life. However, all this belongs to the scientific method of social research, when we try to approach the analysis and solution of the problem by perceiving the problem as a phenomenon with certain characteristics and properties. Nevertheless, there is also a way when we just want to point out the problem, to draw people's attention to its harmfulness, to remind them that they are largely accustomed to it, to the extent that they no longer notice it even though its harmfulness is still obvious, perhaps even more than ever before. This is exactly the method that some writers, satirists, opt for. They offer a caricature of the social situation, because they believe that this is the only way we will get startled and realize how unconscious and unscrupulous we have been in relation to certain harmful circumstances in which we live and raise our children and future generations. Very often satirists do not offer any concrete solution, because that is not what they intend to do. Their method is not scientific, so that we would expect them to analyze a problem and then propose a solution. Their intention is solely to shake up the members of their community, wake them up from the dream they have fallen into, and encourage them to do something. Not more than that. In this paper, we will try, holding probably the greatest satirist in the history of Islam, Ubayd Zakani, as an example, to find out to what extent satirical thought could have been useful in the period following the Mongols' occupation of almost all Muslim territories.
