DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn, 27th day of Dhul-QA^DAH. (Monday, 27th of June, 2022). *_ARGUING IN ISLAM_*. BismilLah.
Arguments over issues in the religion of Islam should be avoided as much as possible. Disputing and debating theological, legal, or historical matters will often lead to the hardening of hearts, bad feelings, and even hatred. As such, the Prophet has warned us that the nations before us went astray due to their indulgence in argumentation.
Abu Umamah reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
*_No people go astray after being guided except that they indulge in arguments_*. Then the Prophet recited the verse_: *_They strike an example for you only to argue, rather, they are a quarrelsome people_*. (43:58). Sunan At-Tirmidhi 3253.
We should leave arguments aside even if we are certain our position is correct and the others are upon falsehood. The Prophet has guaranteed a house in Paradise for those who avoid arguing even if they are right. We can have a constructive debate with facts without falling into arguing.
*_May ALLAH keep guiding us all till Jannat becomes our abode*. Aameen.
