Islam is a religion of peace and moderation, which encourages
Muslims to avoid extravagance and excess. The Qur'an addresses
the Muslim community as an ummah that is ‘justly balanced’. Muslims,
whether in Malaysia or elsewhere, have been advised to live their
entire life balancing spiritual and materialistic affairs. While they must
focus on religious duties, they are also warned not to neglect worldly
affairs. Even when it comes to performing good deeds, Muslims are
encouraged to pursue a path of moderation. Today, the absolute
majority of Muslims believe that the Prophet’s authentic words, actions, and practices serve
only to further endorse the fact that Islam seeks the middle-path and frowns upon any
extremism or fanaticism. On numerous occasions, Muhammad (pbuh) stressed the fact that
religion should be a matter of ease and not hardship for the people. The Prophet applied this
philosophy to his own lifestyle as well.
