Debate is a type of dialogue and discussion that aims to reach the truth and clarify religious facts. The Holy Quran contains many examples of debate and argument. The Holy Quran has dealt with debate and argument in various ways, including argument in the best way and argument with truth. Argument in the best way means dialogue with wisdom and good advice, and avoiding severity and emotion, and its goal is to convince opponents in a gentle and polite manner. As for argument with truth, it refers to the discussion based on strong arguments and evidence and sound logic to prove the truth. This research aims to study the Quranic approach to debate and argument and to explain the rules and etiquette of debate. A set of approaches were used in this research to achieve the desired goals, namely: the inductive, descriptive and analytical approaches. One of the most important results of this research is that the Holy Quran contains many examples of debate, and that knowing the correct approach to debate and argument is necessary to confront opponents and defend the truth. The contribution of this research is that it gives confidence and ability to society to confront enemies and opponents in a correct way.
