We often hear about calls in west about moderate Islam
Lets try to find out what is Moderation or Aetedal
•The avoidance of excess or extremes, especially in one's behavior or opinions.
•Just and Balanced view (not the middle path) in thoughts and actions
Islam emphasizes its follower to have balanced approach (which will be explained below briefly) hence Muslim can neither be Leftist or rightist.
Moreover there is no strictness and difficulties in practicing Islam
Allah has ordered the Muslims to follow the right Path (sirat Mustaqeem)
It has warned the previous nations (Jews & Christians) not to cross the limits set by their lords
If they would have followed the right path and implemented the rule of their books (say Torah & Bible) then the blessing of God would fall in abundance from all directions.
Similarly Allah has warned the Muslims not to be extremist in interpreting the concepts of Islam. Because whoever becomes extremist will be destroyed.
• قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلَکَ الْمُتَنَطِّعُونَ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا
• رسول اللہ ﷺ نے تین بار ارشاد فرمایا غلو کرنے والے ہلاک ہوگئے۔ صحیح مسلم حدیث نمبر: 6784
in Another Saying
عبداللہ بن عباس رضی الله عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا: اور تم اپنے آپ کو دین میں غلو سے بچاؤ۔ کیونکہ تم سے پہلے لوگوں کو ان کے دین میں غلو ہی نے ہلاک کردیا ہے۔ سنن النسائي الألباني: حديث نمبر 3057
“Ibn ‘Abbas said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: “. And beware of going to extremes in religious matters, for those who came before you were destroyed because of going to extremes in religious matters.”(Sahih)
Moderation is the quality of Prophethood hence it is said that it is 25th part of Prophecy.
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA) : The Prophet ﷺ said: Good way, dignified good bearing and moderation are the twenty-fifth part of Prophecy.
We will be learning more about practicing Moderation different sphere of life in the next article.
