Don’t Argue Who Don’t Understand

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 06:108). ‘Wa lā tasubbū l-ladhīna yad’ūna min dūni Llāhi fa’yasubbū Llaha ‘adwan bighayri ‘ilm’, ‘And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge.’

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying not to swear at those who worship and honor other than Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and their beloved ones because they will start swearing at Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla then. Therefore, there is no need to argue and fight with them. He ﷻ says, , “bighayri ‘ilm”, “without knowledge” (Qur’ān 06:108). They will swear at Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla without knowing and will commit more sin.

People may be doing useless things sometimes thinking that they are doing something good. But they do wrong instead of the right, and they lead people to committing sins. Allah ﷻ knows what happens to them afterwards. Because of their actions, they will regret it. That is why from the Adab of Islam – Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla sent our Holy Prophet ﷺ to people to teach Adab and to teach good behavior. Therefore, no need to fight with people all the time.

There are some subjects. You must look if a person knows it. If he doesn’t know, do not go into important issues. No need to argue on the issues of religion and politics with such people. Turn the argument towards useless worldly matters like football and so on. Turn it immediately to that. Because many people think they are knowledgeable. They start criticizing “Why this happened so? Why that happened so?” And they start interfering in the business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Therefore, in order for them not to be involved in a sin, close that subject immediately. Directly shift to football, the most important issue for people nowadays. Football is the number one issue in the world. Shift to that. Talk about the matters of football. That is the important topic for them. According to the thinking of those people, that is the most important topic. They will directly forget about the matter of faith and religion. They will forget about interfering in business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla, and they will start talking about that.

Therefore, in order for people not to make a sin – as we said, you can talk to people who understand. If you talk to people who don’t understand, you will have not understood yourself. Your mind is as much as theirs then. A person who respects and loves Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla and our Holy Prophet ﷺ is clever. Who is not clever, who doesn’t respect them interferes in other things and judges, “If this was like this, and that was like that.”

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything. Everything has its wisdom. And He ﷻ knows His ﷻ own wisdom. Mu’mins and Muslims don’t interfere in the business of Allah ‘Azza waJalla. Shaytan interferes. Shaytan drops it to people “Why are so many people dying? Why is there so much famine?” This is Dunya. It must be so. This is the business of Allah ‘Azza waJalla. There is wisdom in everything. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May He ﷻ not let us think about and interfere in the business of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla insha’Allah. May we not think of that.

As we said, it is not good even to think of it, but these people start immediately. Mostly, non-Muslims and people without Iman interfere in these issues. And this has become a trend. Our people who think they are clever want to interfere in it too. Therefore, when these topics are open, directly close them down. And the best way to shut it, as we said, is to talk about football.

Everything has its wisdom. We’ve been thinking that football is a useless thing for years. Whereas it is an important thing. It directly turns people to Dunya and prevents them from sinning. May Allah ﷻ protect us. We don’t understand anything in football. Something we understand is that all people love football. We understand only that and nothing else in football. This one hit, that one kicked; we don’t understand that, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ give mind and understanding to people.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms from all over the world. Shukr to Allah ﷻ our brothers are sending them. There are Qur’an Khatms, Yasins, Surahs and Ayat, Tasbihat, Tahlilat and Salawat. We dedicate all of them firstly to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahabah, to the souls of all Anbiya, Asfiya, Awliya and Mashayikh, to the souls of all our late relatives, all Mu’mins and Muslims. With the intention of goodness to come and evil to be gone. With the intention of there being strength to our Iman.

Li-Llahi Ta’ala l-Fatiha.
