According to Rahyafte(the missionaries and converts website):One example of actions that conceal the truth and help falsehood to be victorious is contention. A conversation can be of two kinds. In one, the two sides seek to find the truth and follow the right path to achieving it.
On the other, one or both sides do not know the issue being discussed and only want to win the argument, and thus tell many lies. This is a contention, and Islam disapproves of it and considers it a sin because it is tainted with prejudices and biases and is only aimed at gaining dominance, not discovering the truth.
Some verses of the Quran point out the issue of contention: “We have explained in detail in this Qur’an, for the benefit of mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things, contentious.” (Verse 54 of Surah Al-Kahf)
According to this verse, people who have not grown in spirituality are more likely to engage in disputes. Those who deviate from their pure Fitrat (nature) engage in disputes, stand against the truth, and block the path of guidance to themselves, and this is a grave calamity that has plagued human beings throughout history.
We read in Verse 3 of Surah Al-Hajj: “Among people there are those, who without knowledge, dispute about Allah and follow every rebel satan.” This verse describes those who engage in disputes as followers of satan. This shows that quarreling with a wrong intention is treading the path of Satan. Describing satan as a ‘rebel’ indicates the fact that those engaging in disputes rebel against the truth.
God says in Verse 121 of Surah Al-Ana’am: “Do not eat from that which the Name of Allah has not been mentioned, for it is a sin. The satans will reveal to their guided ones to argue with you. If you obey them, you shall indeed become idolaters.”
The idolaters argued that they ate the flesh of dead animals because God had killed them, and that is better than the animal killed by humans.
This improper justification for eating the meat of dead animals is what satans in the form of human and jinn suggested to their friends so that they would dispute the truth. Hence such disputes have satanic motivations.
