What does the Qur'an say about disputing with others 'in the best way'?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 16:125 CALL UNTO THE WAY OF THY LORD WITH WISDOM AND FAIR EXHORTATION, AND REASON WITH THEM IN THE BETTER WAY. Lo, thy Lord is best aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is best aware of those who go aright. In because it is the fullest instruction - three modes named - and because the closing clause removes the outcome from the arguer's hands.
  2. 02 29:46 And argue not with the People of the Scripture UNLESS IT BE IN A WAY THAT IS BETTER, save with such of them as do wrong; and say: we believe in that which hath been revealed unto us and revealed unto you. In because it applies the rule to a named group and supplies the opening line. ALSO CARRIED by What common ground does the Qur'an offer the People of the Book?, with a different reason there.
  3. 03 41:34 The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. REPEL THE EVIL DEED WITH ONE WHICH IS BETTER, then lo, he between whom and thee there was enmity will become as though he were a bosom friend. In because it is the same comparative applied to conduct rather than speech, and it states an outcome. DECLARED DUAL-PLACEMENT from the study What does the Qur'an say about repelling evil with good?
  4. 04 25:63 The slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon the earth modestly, and WHEN THE FOOLISH ONES ADDRESS THEM, ANSWER: PEACE. In because it gives the reply for the case where the exchange is not worth having. ALSO CARRIED by the study What does the Qur'an say about humility versus arrogance?, with a different reason there.
  5. 05 6:108 REVILE NOT THOSE UNTO WHOM THEY PRAY BESIDE GOD, lest they wrongfully revile God through ignorance. In because it forbids a specific tactic and gives a consequential reason. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about idolaters (mushrikun)? and the study What does the Qur'an say about justice toward non-Muslims?, with different reasons there.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

Four verses, and 16:125 gives the whole method in one line.

CALL UNTO THE WAY OF THY LORD WITH WISDOM AND FAIR EXHORTATION, AND REASON WITH THEM IN THE BETTER WAY. Three modes: wisdom, good counsel, and argument conducted in the better manner. The comparative - BETTER, kindlier, more excellent - is the operative word and it recurs.

Then the clause that changes the temperature: THY LORD IS BEST AWARE OF HIM WHO STRAYETH FROM HIS WAY. The arguer is not told to win. The assessment of who is astray is explicitly assigned elsewhere.

29:46 applies the rule to the People of the Scripture, and supplies the opening line: WE BELIEVE IN WHAT WAS REVEALED TO US AND REVEALED TO YOU. It also carries an exception - save with such of them as do wrong - which the text does not define, and this study will not define it either.

6:108 forbids one specific tactic and its reason is practical rather than principled: DO NOT REVILE what they pray to, LEST THEY REVILE GOD IN RETURN THROUGH IGNORANCE. Insult is ruled out because of what it provokes.

25:63 gives the exit for a conversation not worth having: when the foolish address them, THEY ANSWER PEACE. Not a rebuttal, not silence - a word.

And 41:34 extends the same comparative from speech to conduct, with the strongest promised outcome in this area: the enemy becomes as a close friend.

The studies What does the Qur'an say about disputing without knowledge? and What does the Qur'an say about following forefathers blindly? carry the faults this method is set against.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 16:125, widening across 5 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation

5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

და ნუ ლანძღავთ (ო, მორწმუნენო) მათ, ვისაც ისინი მოუწოდებენ [ეთაყვანებიან] ალლაჰის გარდა, რათა მათ (ამის პასუხად) არ დაიწყონ ალლაჰის ლანძღვა მტრობის გამო და უცოდინრობით. ასე ყოველ საზოგადოებას გავულამაზეთ მისი საქმე (მორჩილებს — მორჩილება წარმოვუჩინეთ ლამაზად, ხოლო ურჩებს — ურჩობა). შემდეგ მათი დაბრუნება მათ უფალთან იქნება.

Und schmäht nicht diejenigen, die sie außer Allah anrufen, damit sie nicht in Übertretung ohne Wissen Allah schmähen! Auf diese Weise haben Wir jeder Gemeinschaft ihr Tun ausgeschmückt erscheinen lassen. Hierauf wird ihre Rückkehr zu ihrem Herrn sein, und Er wird ihnen kundtun, was sie zu tun pflegten.

Και μη προσβάλετε (ω, πιστοί) εκείνους τους οποίους επικαλούνται (οι άπιστοι) εκτός του Αλλάχ, ώστε να μην προσβάλουν κι αυτοί τον Αλλάχ άδικα και από άγνoια. Έτσι, κάναμε να φανεί ωραίο για κάθε έθνος το έργο του (είτε ήταν καλό, είτε ήταν κακό, ως ανταμοιβή ή ποινή για τον δρόμο που επέλεξε)· έπειτα προς τον Κύριό τους θα είναι η επιστροφή τους, και τότε θα τους ενημερώσει για όλα όσα έκαναν.

और (ऐ ईमान वालो!) उन्हें बुरा न कहो, जिन्हें ये (मुश्रिक) अल्लाह के सिवा पुकारते हैं। अन्यथा, वे अतिक्रम करते हुए अज्ञानतावश अल्लाह को बुरा कहेंगे। इसी प्रकार, हमने प्रत्येक समुदाय के लिए उनके कर्म को सुशोभित कर दिया है। फिर उनके पालनहार ही की ओर उनका लौटना है, तो वह उन्हें बताएगा, जो कुछ वे किया करते थे।

E non insultate quelli che invocano all’infuori di Allāh, così da indurli ad insultare Allāh ingiustamente, senza sapere. Così abbiamo abbellito a tutti i popoli le proprie azioni; poi torneranno al loro Dio e li informerà di tutto ciò che hanno fatto.

108. Ir neįžeidinėkite tų, kuriuos jie (netikintieji) garbina šalia Allaho, kad jie neįžeidinėtų Allaho neteisingai, neturėdami žinojimo. Taip Mes padarėme kiekvienam žmogui jo darbus atrodančius teisingai. Tada pas jų Viešpatį yra jų sugrįžimas ir Jis tada jiems praneš apie viską, ką jie darydavo.

Не поносите тех, кого они призывают помимо Аллаха, иначе они станут поносить Аллаха по невежеству и из вражды. Так Мы приукрасили для каждой общины её деяние. Затем их возвращение — к их Господу, и Он поведает им о том, что они совершали.

Smäda inte dem som de dyrkar vid Guds sida, för då överträder de gränserna och smädar Gud utan kunskap. Så har vi förskönat för varje folk deras handlingar. Sedan ska de återvända till sin Herre, och han ska underrätta dem om vad de brukade göra.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 16:125, 29:46, 41:34, 25:63, 6:108, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - dispute + with + them + in + the + better + way; argue + with + them + in + the + kindlier + manner; call + unto + the + way + of + thy + lord + with + wisdom; fair + exhortation; reason + with + them + in + the + better + way. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
