No Extremism

 Excess in religion means that the actual status of a thing is not maintained. Instead, an attempt is made to elevate it far beyond its rightful position. God creates one of His servants without a father, and it is said that he is the son of God. God grants someone a high status, and he is assumed to be a superhuman being, free from human error. People are advised to avoid worldly glitter, and this is exaggerated into total renunciation of the world. Certain instructions are given regarding one aspect of life, and by exaggerating them, an entire religious philosophy is constructed upon that basis. All such cases in which a religious teaching is raised beyond its true position and given an exaggerated status fall within what is known in religious terms as ghulu. (Al-Risala, January 1999).
