Imam Ghazalli has also stated about Evils of modern debates The following evils arise out of modern debates. 1. Envy . The Holy Nabi (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) said: "Envy consumes good deeds as fire consumes fuels."A debator is never free from envy and hatred. Envy is a burning fire. One who falls in it gets punishment in the world. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (Radhi Allah Anhu) said: "Acquire 'Ilm wherever it is found and don't obey the shayateen who are prone to disputes." 2. Pride . The Holy Nabi (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) said: A Mu'min cannot have kibr (pride) in him. There is a Hadith-e-Qudsi in which Allah Ta'ala said: "Grandeur is My cloak and pride is My mantle. I destroy the one who snatches anything of these two from Me." 3. Rancor . A debater is seldom free from the evil of rancour. 4. Back-biting . Back-biting which is likened by Allahu Ta'ala to the eating of carrion (49:12). 5. Declaration of self-purity . Allah says: Don't attribute purity to yourself. He knows best who fears Him. (53:33). 6. Spying and prying into secrets of adversary . Allah says Pry not. (49:12). 7. Nifaaq . A debater expresses his friendship for his adversary outwardly but he cherishes hatred for him inwardly. The Holy Nabi (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) said: "When the learned men do not translate their learning into action, when they profess love for one another with their tongue and nurse hatred in their hearts, when they sever ties of relationship, Allah sends Curse upon them, makes their tongues mute and their eyes blind." 8. To turn away from Haqq. The most hateful thing to a debater is to reject the truth revealed to his adversary and thus he takes to deception and deceit. The Holy Nabi (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) prohibited dispute about useless things. He (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) said: "If a man gives up disputation in matters of unlawful things, a garden will be built for him in Paradise. If a man gives up disputations in matters of Haqq, a house will be built up for him in the highest Paradise." Allah Ta'ala says:He is more wrongful than one who devises a lie against Allah and calls the truth a lie when it comes to him. (29:68) Allah says: Who is more wrongful than he who lies against Allah and treats the truth when it comes to him as a lie (39:33). 9. Another fault. Another fault of debate is show and flattering the people in an effort to win their favor and to mislead them. Nifaaq (hypocrisy) is the greatest disease with which a debator is attacked and it is a major sin. 10. Deception . Debators are compelled to deception. |

We used to hear that past people had wasted lots of time and energy in hair splitting debates. At and around the end of Mughal Empire the same thing had been taken to courts and people were asking the courts to decide the same hair splitting issues. Now we have the internet where we are having the latest round of this useless activity. May Allah(SWT) save all the believers from wasting time on it. Ameen.

Shaykh Faraz Rabbani has also stated
http://spa.qibla.com/issue_view.asp?HD=7&ID=861&CATE=1 Quote Among blameworthy knowledge is for common Muslims to engage in discussions about issues they do not understand or even to listen to the arguments of the people of innovation, such as salafis and others. Early Muslims said, Listening to the people of innovation blackens the heart.; Scholars also mention that the way with the people of innovation is to avoid them: one does not listen to their arguments or debate them, especially without knowledge. The job of responding to them is for those who have the knowledge and understanding to do so. It is noteworthy, for example, that only a small number of the Companions (Allah be pleased with them) debated or argued with the Khawarij when they appeared; they rest busied themselves with that which concerned them, which was to travel the path of the next life by seeking beneficial knowledge and acting upon it. And all good lies in following those who have gone by. |

 Abu Ya’la mentioned this in his book entitled Al-Ma’tamad as follows: "No one should enjoin good or forbid evil unless he understands what he enjoins, understands what he forbids, show gentleness in what he enjoins, shows gentleness in what he forbids, show forbearance in what he enjoins, and show forbearance in what he forbids.” |

Ameen. and that every time they quieten down or a Nadwi-like 'live and let live' attitude starts to prevail, the enemies of Islam get their paid online 'devils' to stir these headaches up again. This would be completely in line with the Rand corporation's methodological plan for the West in the undeclared 'war against Islam'. |
