Allah (swt). we are having an argument online, is it okay if use sarcasm and stuff. I am trying to use proper language.
:wa:
May Allah guide us all.

Sarcasm is very seldom a workable education tool.
Keep in mind that if a debate has become an argument, it often means that gainful dialogue has ended. The debate has reached the level of emotionalism and reason has left. If you are not a skilled debater, it is best to get out of the argument at the first graceful opportunity.
In debating with a non-Muslim keep in mind it is not your responsibility to prove them wrong. All you need and should do is present the truth of Islam in the best way you know how.
For Da'wah Show what Islam is in your words and deeds. Open the door for questions and answer truthfully. If you do not know the answer, admit it and tell the person to consult a scholar.
Get off the hang up that it is important to prove to the person they are wrong. That only elicits anger and makes a person defensive and deaf to any words you say.
Do not allow yourself to become angry if the person shows doubt over what you believe. Keep in mind that either they never heard the truth or if they heard it, it was presented out of anger and not out of the desire to teach the truth.
Also remember, the person has the full right to reject whatever you say. you can only offer the truth and it is their own responsibility to learn.
Do not allow anger or pain to lead you to speak with hatred or ridicule. Stay above childish arguments and know your own limits. Above all do Da'wah because you want what is best for the person and not because you despise what they believe. Do not expect to drive them away from what they believe, be a magnet to pull them to Islam.
