Some are questioning my decision to leave debating, so I'm going to explain. One of the many reasons why I created a twitter account was so that I could debate. I saw other muslims doing it and I wanted to contribute as well. I was also in doubting phase so I thought it would

give me the answers seeing other muslims debate and me debating as well. At first it was working and I started to get my answers. I saw muslims refuting those who would attack islam and I was refuting as well and it raised my iman. It came to a point where I felt

compelled to refute every single thing I saw no matter what. I thought it was some sort of duty of mine to debate all the time so as to help islam. Then I started getting intimidated by islamaphobes. Alhumdulillah I met a few brothers who helped show me the foundations

for the truth of islam and I regained iman again. But then I went back to debating as if it were some sort of duty of mine and I can honestly say it became an unhealthy addiction. I would waste so many hours in front of the computer debating that it started distracting

me from the remembrance of Allah. It distracted me from actually reading books about islam and actually educating myself. I invested my full time into this unhealthy addiction. I've gotten replies asking "How can debating cause you to sin?" During these debates

I would be engaging with people whose job is to only attack islam with insults and as a result I would insult back. This was never the way of the Prophet and I was doing this heavily. I never realized it at first but when I continued to keep insulting as a retort

It started to bring me into sadness, that I am wasting my time insulting others and getting sin and for what? So that I could feel some satisfaction that I am refuting someone? So that I can feel like a winner? I realized it wasn't worth it anymore, investing all my time

into this unhealthy addiction that was taking me away from remembering Allah, my studies, and my health.

My sincerest advice to those that view this thread is that please stop debating with those that you know will never change. Those people that will no matter what

attack islam. They will never change unless Allah wills and if you continue to debate it will become an addiction that will be hard for you to end and it will take you away from remembering Allah. Rather help out those who are sincere and are willing to learn including

non muslims who actually want to learn about islam instead of attacking. If you want to contribute to the dawah then first make sure you are remembering Allah at all times because it his he who gave you the ability to give dawah in the first place, and if you forget Allah

while debating all you will feel is guilt and sadness. Spread islam with kindness and humility, never insult anyone. If someone tries to engage with you and you know that someone just insults islam ignore them. It is not worth your time and you will gain nothing. If you do

feel compelled to refute a claim against Islam by all means do so but just make sure its not a pointless back forth which in the end will bring nothing but sins and negativity.

With that I end this thread and I hope you understand my reasoning for leaving debating

It took some time but Alhumdulillah im feeling much better knowing I can start anew with my twitter and do good it with rather than bad.

JazakAllah Khair and May Allah reward you all and make us all victorious in this world and the next! Salam
