I read a news article which I wanted to briefly discuss. It reported on how one can avoid arguments and instead discuss things in a mature way. It is important to understand that the characteristic of a true muslim is not to argue or debate with others in order to promote themself and their opinion. They should instead present the information in order to promote the truth. This applies to both worldly and religious matters. The one who aims to promote the truth will not argue. Only the one who is trying to promote themself will. Contrary to what many believe winning arguments does not increase one’s rank in anyway. The only time a person’s rank in both worlds increases is when one avoids arguing and instead presents the truth or accepts it when it is presented to them. A muslim should avoid going back and forth with others when discussing things as this is a characteristic of arguing. It is important to avoid arguing as the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, promised a home in the middle of Paradise for the one who gives up arguing even when they are correct. This has been advised in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 1993. It is this correct mentality which has been indicated in chapter 16 An Nahl, verse 125:
“Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best…”
A muslim should understand that their duty is not to force people to accept something. Their duty is to simply present the truth as being forceful is a characteristic of arguing. Chapter 88 Al Ghashiyah, verses 21-22:
“So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. You are not over them a controller.”
