Argumentation in the Holy Quran: Types, Causes and Punishments

Abstract

The present study aims at investigating argumentation in the
Holy Quran; its types، causes، and punishments. This is done
through studying the Quranic aiyas (verses) related to this topic.
This study has used the inductive and descriptive approach in its
analysis. The research consists of an introduction including the
related terminology، three chapters; the first chapter deals with
types of argumentation، the second chapter deals with the causes
of argumentation and the third chapter deals with the punishments
upon the argumentators against the signs of Allah with no right to
argue in this life and the life-after. The study has concluded these
results: Allah has ordered in the Holy Quran to argue softly with
others with good intention. Another result is that argumentation in
the Holy Quran is of two types; the positive and negative. Another
result is related to the causes and the final result is related to the
punishments of those who always argue with no right in this life
and in the life-after.
