Futile arguing creates restlessness and darkness in the heart. It opens the door to misguidance. It leads a person away from Siratul Mustaqeem (the straight path). Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam cautioned us: “No people will go astray after having being guided except that they become argumentative.” (Tirmidhi)
Thus, we should not waste time over pettiness. We do not have the time for that. There will always be enemies; there will always be jealousy; there will always be malice. …There will be those who cannot see or stomach the progress of certain people and who will want to create unnecessary trouble and impede the person’s progress. This will happen. It happened in the time of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam – and will continue. So we should be careful not to get caught up with these type of wasteful issues.
