• Tend to be emotional and reactive
• Quick to label: “deviant Wahhabis,” “Najdi,” “takfir practitioners”
• Focus more on personal attacks rather than discussing evidences
• Reluctant to engage with the Qur’an and Sunnah according to the understanding of the Companions
• When asked for authentic proofs, they often divert the discussion
• Initially appear polite, yet defensive
• Often use general narratives: “differences of opinion,” “don’t be quick to call things bid‘ah”
• Give more priority to traditions and customary practices rather than the guidance of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
• When presented with evidences, it often ends with: “this has been practiced for a long time”
Important Note
The main issue is not about who appears more polite, but rather what standard of truth is being used:
• Evidence (dalil) or emotion
• Following the Sunnah (ittiba’) or blind following (taqlid)
• The understanding of the Companions or tradition
“If you disagree over anything, then refer it back to Allah and the Messenger.” (Qur’an, Surah An-Nisa: 59)
• Convey the truth with patience
• Stand firmly upon evidences
• Do not seek to “win debates,” but fulfill the duty of giving sincere advice
The truth is not measured by how many people defend it, but by the strength of its evidences.
