THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arbaă, 6th day of Dhul Hijjah (Wednesday 7th August, 2019).
ARGUING IN ISLAM. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
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.
