106        COMMUNICATION AND ARGUMENT IN THE QUR’AN


               without knowledge and follows every rebellious satan.
               (Surat al-Hajj: 3)

               Finally, an argument is a violent and unhappy exchange
            between a person who has fallen into difficulty and those
            who put him in that situation. This is the style of communi-
            cation taking place between the damned, as is revealed in
            the Qur’an.
               Arguing does not befit believers, and their respect and
            love for another precludes it. They do not argue with unbe-
            lievers, but speak with them only to communicate religion
            and while doing this they employ the most efficient and
            beautiful style.
