It seems like everyone can talk about etiquettes of disagreement in Islam, but few of us are able to put them into practice. It is east to expect others to exhibit proper decorum when they disagree with us, but we fail to uphold the same high standards when we differ with them.
This is why we need to study the etiquettes of disagreement in earnest. This art needs to be taught in our schools, colleges and mosques. Our youth should be given practical training in debate so they can make these etiquettes a habit and even an aspect of their piety.
Yes, knowing to disagree is an act of devotion, because in doing so, we obey Allah and put the Sunnah of our Prophet (saw) into practice.
This is something we all need to do. Political leaders need to observe the etiquettes of disagreement to uphold the rights of the populace, even those who dissent. Educators need etiquettes so they can respect their students and teach them to be strong, independent thinkers. Parents need to observe these etiquettes so their children can grow up as healthy individuals with their own thoughts and ideas.
