A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. Engaging in debate with the People of the Scripture. It is necessary that any debate with the People of the Scripture be conducted only in the best possible manner. Just as Allah, the Exalted, has said: “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; our Allah and your Allah is One, and unto Him we surrender.” (29:46) Part of this approach is that we should not reject everything they say simply because it originates from them. Rather, we accept whatever portion of it aligns with the truth. As for those among the People of the Scripture who are obstinate and arrogant, the appropriate stance toward them is to turn away from them. A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
