All the teachings which Islam gives and instructs are in full conformity with the human nature. They are applicable in all situations and circumstances. There is no excesses or deficiencies found in them. One who acts according to the teachings of Islam is basically acting according to what nature demands of him. Thus in this way, he is fulfilling the genuine demands of the nature on the one hand, and is simultaneously gaining the pleasure of the Lord of the universe on the other hand. The present paper deals with the explanation of how Islam and its principles steer clear of the extremes in all matters of human life. Many examples have been cited to illustrate how the teachings of Islam are free from all kinds of excesses and deficiencies. Light is also thrown on the importance of justly balanced community; its principles, aims, duties, objectives and purpose.

73 Divisions in Islam and One True Jama' atmuzaffertahir9
Introduction
It is commonly said that religions are more a cause of division than of unity, for mankind. It would therefore follow that if all religions are from One God, then surely He is to blame for the sorry state of our world? However, unsurprisingly, quite the opposite is true. God has always been a source of unity for man, and it is man that has repeatedly chosen to break away from this unity. The teachings of God has always provided a perfect guidance for a just and peaceful existence, when people estrange themselves from those teachings, the result is that they are no longer practiced, and that is when true faith leaves the hearts of people. It is through God's Mercy that He sends down reformers to re-establish the true faith in the earth, these reformers are invariably faced with opposition and enmity from those around them. History abounds with such examples.
A similar reformation was started by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) in Indo-Pak subcontinent in late 1800's. He established the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam and claimed to be the Promised Mehdi and Messiah for Muslims. His purpose in establishing such a movement was to reform and collect a party of servants of Allah dedicated to the service of mankind and bringing people closer to Allah. However, the religious divines of his time saw him as a threat to their beliefs and thus stepped up their opposition to his message. The greatest of opposition and persecution came from his fellow Muslims. Leaders of Muslim groups or Mullahs regarded Ahmadi Muslims to be out of the pale of Islam but their hostility did not stop there.
In 1953 the political expediencies of some Mullahs prompted to exploit the Ahmadiyya Muslim issue which resulted in the eruption of mob violence. This agitation was launched by Majlis-e-Ahrar which had no political career in Pakistan because of its anti-Pakistan stance during partition. They tried to use this issue to seek some political standing in newly established Muslim state by exploiting people's religious feelings a fact that was later established by Munir report. In 1974, seeing its grip loosening on the government, the party in power again staged a drama and exploited the same issue to turn the events in their favor. Being under tremendous pressure from King Faisal, according to The Guardian (UK) (9th Sept. 1974), Mr. Bhutto staged the Rabwah incidence and dumped the matter into the lap of national assembly which turned itself into a special committee. This committee invited the leaders of all the sects considered to be associated with the Islamic faith (72 in number) to hold a debate on the matter of Finality of prophethood (i.e. if a prophet could come after Muhammad, peace be upon him, or not) with the leadership of Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam. The proceedings of these hearings were never made public. At the end of this pseudo-hearing all the leaders of 72 sects unanimously declared Ahmadis to be non-Muslims, which the special committee adopted as an..

Ayatullah Sayed Ali naqi Naqvi (t.s.), an Islamic jurist (Mujtahid) from lucknow, India, who graduated from Najaf, Iraq. He wrote more than 100 books including Tafseer e Quran and Tareekh e Islam and and 1000 booklets in Arabic, Persian and Urdu. His books were published in 12 Indian languages. He is among the most learned Islamic scholars in Indian History.
His first book published in Arabic was in Najaf during his days as a student and was among the first books written against Wahabis. It was entitled 'Kashfun Naqab an Aqaid Abdul Wahhab Najdi'. His second book in Arabic was in defense of the mourning acts for martyrdom of Imam Husain (a.s),entitled 'Aqalatalaashir fi Eqamatalshaaer'. Since the actual book is in Arabic, from which people of India and Pakistan cannot benefit in general, therefore, he revised it with additions in Urdu language.

War and Peace in the life of the prophet muhammad (saw) by zakaria bashierdocsforu
war and Peace in the Life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), seeks
to bring into sharper focus the relevance of the Prophet’s exemplary life in our
times In doing so, the misperception is allayed that Islam is inextricably linked with violence. That Islam preaches and practises the ideals of peaceful coexistence and
freedom of faith is brought home with reference to the elucidation of the Qur’anic
verses which allow’ Muslims to wage war, if necessary. The same truth is illustrated
bs analyzing the Prophet’s conduct in war and his measures for ensuring peace. All
the maior battles in the early history of Islam are studied in the wider context of
Islamic teachings on war and peace .
Zakaria Bashier (b. 1940) obtained his BA and M.Litt. in Philosophy from the
f’niversitites of Khartoum, Sudan and Durham, UK respectively, and his PhD on
Islamic Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh, USA. Apart from holding
faculty positions at the universities of Sudan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, he had also
been the Vice Chancellor of the University of Juba, Sudan. Presently he is Visiting
Professor at the Markfield Institute of Higher Education, Leicester, UK. He has to
his credit 14 books in Arabic and 8 in English, besides scores of articles in Journals

The West and Islam are both believers in the collective humanity. However, when West has gone astray in consumerism while Islam has restricted humanity to the believers in Islamic State. Both ideologies have to reform themselves and focus on their core belief of collective humanity. Then the conflict between them will be resolved.

Religious believers claim their religions are peaceful and genuine believers
are peacekeepers and peacemakers. In substantiating justification to their claim, they
very often refer to religious scriptures. Yet, on the contrary, their claim is confronted
by an opposite claim: many wars were fought and are being fought in the name of religion;
and a great deal of violence can be ascribed to the religious believers. In addition,
religious scriptures and history of religions do attest, to a certain extent, permissibility
of using physical offence or defence. As a result, a question arises: Is the violence
credited to religious believers, due to religions? Or is it because of certain secular
causes in which religious texts get invoked very often? In responding to the question,
the study relied on the theoretical criticism and justification. The study argued that
religions, considering their historical inception, are fundamentally aimed at attaining
holistic peace for their immediate subjects and subsequent followers, both spiritually and physically. The study by referring to major religions of the world generally and Islam
particularly, argued that in contributing to build global peace, religious believers
can plausibly turn to primary peaceful intentions of the religions, if they are provided
with a feasible atmosphere.

Edge Computing in Space Enhancing Data Processing and Communication for Space...ijtsrd
Edge computing, a paradigm that involves processing data closer to its source, has gained significant attention for its potential to revolutionize data processing and communication in space missions. With the increasing complexity and data volume generated by modern space missions, traditional centralized computing approaches face challenges related to latency, bandwidth, and security. Edge computing in space, involving on board processing and analysis of data, offers promising solutions to these challenges. This paper explores the concept of edge computing in space, its benefits, applications, and future prospects in enhancing space missions.

Dynamics of Communal Politics in 21st Century India Challenges and Prospectsijtsrd
Communal politics in India has evolved through centuries, weaving a complex tapestry shaped by historical legacies, colonial influences, and contemporary socio political transformations. This research comprehensively examines the dynamics of communal politics in 21st century India, emphasizing its historical roots, socio political dynamics, economic implications, challenges, and prospects for mitigation. The historical perspective unravels the intricate interplay of religious identities and power dynamics from ancient civilizations to the impact of colonial rule, providing insights into the evolution of communalism. The socio political dynamics section delves into the contemporary manifestations, exploring the roles of identity politics, socio economic disparities, and globalization. The economic implications section highlights how communal politics intersects with economic issues, perpetuating disparities and influencing resource allocation. Challenges posed by communal politics are scrutinized, revealing multifaceted issues ranging from social fragmentation to threats against democratic values. The prospects for mitigation present a multifaceted approach, incorporating policy interventions, community engagement, and educational initiatives. The paper conducts a comparative analysis with international examples, identifying common patterns such as identity politics and economic disparities. It also examines unique challenges, emphasizing Indias diverse religious landscape, historical legacy, and secular framework. Lessons for effective strategies are drawn from international experiences, offering insights into inclusive policies, interfaith dialogue, media regulation, and global cooperation. By scrutinizing historical epochs, contemporary dynamics, economic implications, and international comparisons, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of communal politics in India. The proposed strategies for mitigation underscore the importance of a holistic approach to foster social harmony, inclusivity, and democratic values.

Assess Perspective and Knowledge of Healthcare Providers Towards Elehealth in...ijtsrd
Background and Objective Telehealth has become a well known tool for the delivery of health care in Saudi Arabia, and the perspective and knowledge of healthcare providers are influential in the implementation, adoption and advancement of the method. This systematic review was conducted to examine the current literature base regarding telehealth and the related healthcare professional perspective and knowledge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods This systematic review was conducted by searching 7 databases including, MEDLINE, CINHAL, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Central. Studies on healthcare practitioners telehealth knowledge and perspectives published in English in Saudi Arabia from 2000 to 2023 were included. Boland directed this comprehensive review. The researchers examined each connected study using the AXIS tool, which evaluates cross sectional systematic reviews. Narrative synthesis was used to summarise and convey the data. Results Out of 1840 search results, 10 studies were included. Positive outlook and limited knowledge among providers were seen across trials. Healthcare professionals like telehealth for its ability to improve quality, access, and delivery, save time and money, and be successful. Age, gender, occupation, and work experience also affect health workers knowledge. In Saudi Arabia, healthcare professionals face inadequate expert assistance, patient privacy, internet connection concerns, lack of training courses, lack of telehealth understanding, and high costs while performing telemedicine. Conclusions Healthcare practitioners telehealth perceptions and knowledge were examined in this systematic study. Its collection of concerned experts different personal attitudes and expertise would help enhance telehealths implementation in Saudi Arabia, develop its healthcare delivery alternative, and eliminate frequent problems.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Online Voices, Offline Impact Ambedkars Ideals and Socio Political Inclusion ...ijtsrd
This research investigates the nexus between online discussions on Dr. B.R. Ambedkars ideals and their impact on social inclusion among college students in Gurugram, Haryana. Surveying 240 students from 12 government colleges, findings indicate that 65 actively engage in online discussions, with 80 demonstrating moderate to high awareness of Ambedkars ideals. Statistically significant correlations reveal that higher online engagement correlates with increased awareness p 0.05 and perceived social inclusion.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Right and Wrong, without the urge to promote the
Right and to destroy the Wrong is a gross immorality
in itself. In Islam, morality lives and dies with the
human endeavor to establish its victory upon earth.
[3]
To illustrate the doctrine of moderation in Islam, let
us see some examples of how Islam adopts the middle
path in all matters, be they with regards to belief,
worship, mutual dealings, transactions, social
behavior, morals or manners.
1.1 Moderation in the matters pertaining to beliefs
(Īmāniyāt)
In the earlier nations, we see that on the one hand
some took their Prophets as the sons of God and
started adoring and worshipping them. Regarding
Jews and Christians, the holy Quran says:
And the Jews say: ‘Uzayr [4] is a child (or son) of
God; and the Christians say: Masīḥ [5] (‘Isā’) is a
child (or son) of God. That is their saying with their
mouths (i.e., unsupported by their own prophets),
resembling the saying of those who disbelieved
aforetime. Allah confound them! Whither are they
turning away? {Al-Quran, Surah al-Taubah, Chapter
9: 30}.
While some others, in spite of seeing multitudes of
miracles happening at the hands of their Prophets
refused to accompany them in accomplishing the most
important tasks. When Mūsā’ (A.S.) [6] commanded
his people to be strong and courageous to enter the
land of Amalekites (the country of Canaan) to
conquer it, they rejected his call as is quoted in the
holy Qur’ān:
Yet the people said: O Mūsā’! Certainly we shall
never march to it so long as they remain there, go
forth thou and thy Lord, and fight you twain, we
remain here sitting. {Al-Quran, Surah al-Mā’idah,
Chapter 5: 24}. [7]
There were others who mocked, vexed, injured and
even killed their Prophets as is mentioned in the holy
Qur’ān. Allah says: “Ah the misery of Our bondmen!
There comes not to them any messenger of Ours but
him they have been mocking. {Al-Quran, Surah
Yāsīn, Chapter 36:30}.”
Regarding the behavior of the disbelievers of the past
nations and their vexation against their Prophets,
Allah quotes Mūsā’(A.S.) as saying:
And recall when Mūsā’ (vexed at the exhibition of
constant rebellion and disobedience among his
people) said to his people: my people! Why do you
hurt me when you know surely that I am Allah’s
messenger to you? {Al-Quran, Surah al-Ṣaff, Chapter
61:5}.
Some of the people of the past nations even killed
their prophets; Allah says in the holy Quran: “They
(i.e., Jews) have been denying the signs of Allah and
killing the prophets of Allah without right. {Al-
Quran, Surah Āl-i ‘Imrān, Chapter 3:112}.”
But the attitude of this Community / Ummah (i.e.,
Ummat-i-Muslimah), on the other hand, is and has
remained always in moderation with respect to the
matters pertaining to beliefs (Īmāniyāt). They hold
their Prophet, Prophet Muḥammad (S.A.A.W
.S) [8]
dearest to all; their lives, wealth, progeny, honour and
everything. And on the other hand, they recognize
Prophet as a Prophet, and God as God; neither raising
the prophets to the pedestal of God, or His like, nor
degrading God to the level of human beings.
Islam correctly defines the status of the Prophets. It
explains that the Prophets were neither God, nor His
likeness, nor His sons, nor yet His kinsmen, for they
were mortals like all other men. But, despite the fact
that they were human beings, they were not like
ordinary mortals since they enjoined the privilege of
conversing with God, were recipients of Divine
Revelations and were free of all sins. As perfect
guides of humanity they were a witness to these
realities of the celestial realm which are beyond the
ken of human perception. They are the assured ones,
having wisdom and faith and guidance from the Lord
of the worlds. Every man is thus duty-bound to obey
and pay his regards to these truthful souls who are
raised to preach the Message of God to their fellow
beings.
This is the path of moderation --- the path avoiding
the excesses of undue veneration and denial of the
respect due to the prophets and founders of religions -
-- which Islam shows to the world as a necessary
adjunct to its higher concept of the Unity of God.
1.2 Moderation in matters of worship

After ‘belief’ comes the number of worship / acts of
devotion, here again we see that Islam has corrected
all the earlier misconceptions of extremities. This is
briefly illustrated in the following lines.
Worship was, and still is, a fundamental discipline of
every religion. The people of past nations had,
however, mistaken self-torture for veneration of God.
They had somehow convinced themselves that the
more one suffers agony and subjects one’s body to
suffering and pain, the more one advances spiritually
towards piety and purity of soul. Therefore, falling
prey of these misconceived notions, they had taken to
strange practices, took different forms of self-
mortification which they considered the doors to
spiritual elevation. Therefore, some of them refrained
from taking baths throughout their lives, some clad
themselves in tatters or tunics made of coarse material
(like hemp), some remained unclad even during
freezing cold season, some had taken a vow to remain
standing for the rest of their lives, some lived in the
deserted dens of wild beasts, some always remained
in the sun, some dwelt on bare rocks, some ate only
leaves of the trees, some scrupulously avoided contact
with women and some even hanged themselves
upside down from the trees. These ways of
worshipping God were deemed highly meritorious all
over the West during the dark ages. Other countries of
the world were no better, either.
On the other hand, we see some other nations of yore
used to sell the commandments and words of the Lord
for worldly gains. Their religious scholars and priests
gave wrong verdicts (Fatāwā) by taking bribes. They
distorted and deliberately misinterpreted the teachings
of their Prophets and the scriptures. They were always
in search of pretexts and excuses in order to remain
away from the acts of worship.
It was in this atmosphere, prevailing throughout the
world, that Islam came to set a middle path between
these two extremes. Islam, on the one hand, delivered
humanity from these fiendish practices by telling it
that self-torture and bodily exertions were neither
demanded by God nor they led to the union of the
devotee’s spirit with the Supreme Being. Islam
candidly rejects the concept of monasticism. Allah
says: “And asceticism (or, monasticism, or monkery).
We did not prescribe it for them; they innovated it,
only seeking Allah’s goodwill, but they tended it not
with the tendence due to it. {Al-Quran, Surah al-
Hadid, Chapter 57:27}.” [9]
And Prophet Muhammad (S.A.A.w
.S.) has said: “There
is no monasticism in Islam.”
On the other hand, Islam cultivated such spirit of
servitude (devotion to God) in its followers that they
never compromised with it and endeavoured to make
it dominant over all the spheres of their lives. Islam
put the conception of devotion on true and right lines
by telling that the spirit of worship lies in the
acknowledgment of complete and unquestioned
loyalty to the Lord, the Master of the Worlds.
Maulānā Abdul Majid Daryābādī writes:
Islam … does not base its system of religio-moral
perfection on the conception of the wickedness and
sinfulness of the human body; and the law of Islam
does not repudiate the earthly life in toto as
intrinsically impure. It does not demand the
suppression of fleshly impulses; it only requires that
they should be curbed and controlled in accordance
with the norm supplied by itself. Celibacy on a large
scale is designed to defeat the very aim and purpose
of nature --- the replenishment of the earth. [10]
1.3 Moderation in matters of almsgiving and
charity
Although almsgiving and charity is considered as an
act of great virtue in all the religions but they have not
remained free of extremes with regards to it. On the
one hand, we see that the teaching of Bible regards it
the greatest virtue to spend everything in charity and
become impoverished and destitute himself. Bible
exhorts its followers to sell all they have and give the
money to the poor (so as to become penniless and
pauper himself).
On the other hand, there is a class of people who are
never moved to spend anything in the way of God.
They resort to different pretexts and excuses to
exempt themselves from spending in the way of God.
Qur’ān makes mentions of such people as under:
And when it is said to them: expend (in alms and
charity) of that with which Allah has provided you,
those who disbelieve say to the faithful: shall we feed
those whom Allah Himself would have fed, had He
willed? You are but in error manifest. {Al-Quran,
Surah Yāsīn, Chapter 36:47}
Islam adopted the middle path, free of both the
extremes, in this matter as well. Firstly, it made the
4. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) ISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Available Online @ www.ijtsrd.com | Volume – 2 | Issue – 4 | May-Jun 2018 Page: 2746
concept of almsgiving and charity clear and vivid by
giving complete details of all its elements. Secondly,
it did not command its followers to spend each and
everything in almsgiving so as to fall into
impoverishment, instead it says:
And they ask thee (O Muḥammad!) as to what they
shall spend (in voluntary charity). Say thou:
“Redundant portion (i.e., whatever can be spent
without detriment to the necessities of one’s own self
or of those whose maintenance is obligatory on him.)
{Al-Quran, Surah al-Baqarah, Chapter 2: 219}.
At another place Allah says:
Let not your hand be chained to your neck, nor stretch
it forth to its extremity (i.e., do not be either niggardly
or profuse, but observe the mean between the two
extremes.) lest you sit down reproached. {Al-Quran,
Surah al-Isrā’, Chapter 17: 29}.
When ‘Umar (Raḍ.A) [11] approached the Prophet
(S.A.A.w
.S.) and asked his opinion as to giving away,
in charity, his best garden in Khyber, the Prophet
advised him to keep the garden for himself and give
away only its produce in charity. This proves that
regard for others does not mean disregard for the self.
The self is to be cared for and developed so that it
may be of greater service to others. But this does not
mean unrestrained development of self nor does it
mean self-destruction but a careful development
bearing in mind one’s duties to others.
It is the reason that Islam, by way of Īthār
(unselfishness), also exhorts its followers to give
preference to others who are in more need than
yourselves. Islam also instructs that charity should be
given only with utmost sincerity; only to seek the
pleasure of the Lord, not for the worldly gains,
display, showoff and ostentation. Neither should there
be any intention to hurt the sentiments of the receiver,
or to put any burden upon him. The holy Qur’ān has
quoted the behaviour of Ansār (Helpers at Madīnah)
with the Muhājirūn (Emigrants from Makkah) as
praiseworthy as they had offered full help to them.
Allah says: “Preferring them (Muhājirūn) above
themselves even though there was want among them
(Ansār). {Al-Quran, Surah al-Isrā’, Chapter 59: 9}.”
They themselves were thirsty and hungry but they, in
the spirit of self-sacrifice, offered whatever they had
to the Muhājirūn (Emigrants from Makkah) and
proved ideal hosts to them.
Those who feed the hungry, orphans, destitute and
captives etc. are praised by Allah. Allah says: “And
they feed, for love of Him, with food the destitute, the
orphan and the captive. {Al-Quran, Surah al-Insān,
Chapter 76: 8}”
Regarding the sincerity of thought and avoiding any
kind of display and ostentation, and maintaining
kindly feelings towards the receiver, the holy Quran
says:
O you who believe! Void not your charities by taunt
and by harm, like unto him who spends his riches to
be seen of men. {Al-Quran, Surah al-Baqarah,
Chapter 2: 264}.
At another place, Allah says: “an honourable word (of
refusal) and forgiveness (granted to the beggar if he is
wantonly insolent) are better (a thousand times) than
an alms followed by injury. {Al-Quran, Surah al-
Baqarah, Chapter 2: 263}.”
The whole phrase means: ‘Refusal with pleasing or
gracious speech and prayer expressed to the beggar
that God may sustain him, and forgiveness granted to
the beggar for his importunity … are better than an
alms with annoyance followed by reproach for a
benefit conferred and for begging.’
1.4 Moderation regarding the behaviour with
menstruating women
The Biblical regulations concerning menstruating
women are much rigid. According to Bible:
She shall be put apart for seven days: and whosoever
toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And
everything that she lieth upon in her separation shall
be unclean: everything also that she sitteth upon shall
be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
unclean until the even.”(Leviticus: The Third Book of
Moses 15:19-21). [12]
Still more rigid are the laws prescribed by the Jewish
doctors. According to them:
The woman must reckon seven days after the
termination of the period. If then, this lasts seven
days; she cannot become pure until the fifteenth day.
Purification, furthermore, can be gained only by a
ritual bath; and until the woman has taken this, she
5. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) ISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Available Online @ www.ijtsrd.com | Volume – 2 | Issue – 4 | May-Jun 2018 Page: 2747
remains unclean….in addition to all this, a woman who
does not menstruate regularly is unclean for a certain time
before she becomes aware that the period has begun, and
objects which she touches are defiled.’ (The Jewish
Encyclopedia, IX, p. 301). [13]
There are many other communities in whom a
menstruating woman has to, according to their code,
refrain from all household duties, especially from the
preparation of food, and to approach her is often an
offence. She must, like the leper of the medieval
times, wear a special garment, or call aloud to warn
all who approach her that she is unclean. [14]
This is one extreme, the other extreme is that there are
others who do not even consider it any filth and
pollution but unhesitatingly have intercourses with
their wives in the period of their menstruation. They
do not even take heed of its biological harms and
dreadful consequences out of their extreme zeal of
carnal pleasures and uncontrolled sexual desires.
The Qur’ānic injunction regarding this matter is given
in the following Āyah (verse):
And they ask thee (O Prophet!) of menstruation (and
cohabitation in that period). Say thou: “it is pollution,
so keep away from women during menstruation (i.e.,
do not cohabit with them during this period), and go
not in unto them till they have cleansed themselves.
Then when they have thoroughly cleansed themselves
(of menstrual pollution, and have washed themselves)
go in unto them as Allah has directed you (i.e., in a
way that is natural, lawful and clean). Surely Allah
loves the repentants, and He loves the cleansers of
themselves. {Al-Quran, Surah al-Baqarah, Chapter 2:
222}
It follows from this Āyah (verse) that it is only the
cohabitation which is prohibited during the period
when one’s wife is passing through the period of
menstruation. In household matters neither is she
refrained from performing her duties nor the things
she touches, are considered as defiled and unclean.
1.5 Moderation with regards to the matters of
divorce
The course of divorce or the dissolution of the
marriage tie, among ancient nations has been erratic,
some making it too loose, others making it too tight.
Speaking sociologically, every religion has to meet
two ends in the sphere of marriage and family --- to
raise the standard of morality and to sanctify the
marriage contract. But in practice some religions have
become too lenient, others too rigid. The Jewish law
takes treats it as a matter of no great concern. If
husband finds ‘some uncleanness in her; then let him
write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her
hand, and send her out of his house. And when she
has departed from his house, she may go and be
another man’s wife.’(Deuteronomy: 24:1, 2).
Christianity, on the other hand, taking its stand on the
reported saying of Jesus: ‘what therefore God hath
joined together, let not man part
asunder……whosoever shall put away his wife, and
marry another, committeth adultery against her.
(Gospel according to St. Mark 10: 9, 11), and also
upon the dictum of Paul: ‘let not the wife depart from
her husband.’ (Paul’s First Epistle to the
Corinthinians; 7:10), has interdicted divorce
altogether. The Catholics hold: ‘when the sacrament
of matrimony has been received by a man and a
woman and ratified by their cohabitation as husband
and wife, their union cannot be dissolved except by
death.’ (New Catholic Dictionary, p.no. 477). The
climax was reached in the rules of Roman Catholic
Church… (It) ‘Treats marriage as a sacrament, and
demands indissolubility and non-changeability. This
in itself is unreasonable. Judaism takes account of the
mutability of human feelings, and free people when
the chains of matrimony become fetters; but the
Catholic Church refuses to recognize any such change
of feeling. The bonds of matrimony become a chain as
heavy and galling as iron in which two people must
languish for the term of their natural lives.’ The
Protestants allow it no doubt, but only on such
grounds as are of comparatively rare occurrence ---
fornication, for instance.
Islam has steered its course midway between the two,
avoiding the extremes of either making divorce too
rigid or banning it altogether, or of making it too
loose and frivolous. Islam has adopted the only wise
course open --- that of imposing certain conditions
and limitations upon the right of the husband to
dissolve the matrimonial bond, the object of which is
‘to ensure that the husband does not act in haste or
anger and that separation becomes inevitable in the
interests of the husband and wife and the children.’ …
divorce, though perfectly legitimate in itself, is not to
be had recourse to light-heartedly or on flimsy
grounds. There are verses, in Qur’ān, which tend to
discourage the practice, unless, of course, there be
strong reasons for taking the step, or the
incompatibility of temperaments be well-established.
6. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) ISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Available Online @ www.ijtsrd.com | Volume – 2 | Issue – 4 | May-Jun 2018 Page: 2748
The Prophet (S.A.A.W
.S) is also reported to have
observed: __‘Of all the permissible acts, divorce is the
most disapproved of by Allah.’….the goal of
matrimony in Islam is to unite two lives, to bring
happiness to the couple, and to instill mutual amity,
harmony, responsible co-partnership and good
fellowship in the pair. Now, human nature being what
it is, it sometimes happens that even with the best of
motives and after repeated trials, the union remains
unhappy. The only remedy then is to unfasten the
wedding-tie. Even then, the husband is enjoined by
the Qur’ān not to dismiss the wife in disgrace, or with
a view to humiliating her but to let her off kindly,
with due regard to his chivalry and her tenderness,
and with a view to securing peace of mind both for
her and himself. [15]
1.6 Moderation in other matters of the human life
In addition to the above discussed matters there are
numerous other such matters in which other religions
have taken one or the other extremities but Islam
adopted and showed humanity the path which is
balanced and free from all extremes. For example,
regarding the manner of spending on one’s needs the
holy Qur’ān says:
And squander not in squandering; truly the
squanderers are the brethren of the devils, and the
Devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord. {Al-Quran, Surah
al-Isrā, Chapter 17:26-27}.
At another place, enumerating the noble qualities of
true believers, and His loyal slaves, Allah says:
And those who when they expend, are neither
extravagant nor stingy; and it (i.e., their mode of
spending) is a medium in between. {Al-Quran, Surah
al-Furqān, Chapter 25:67}
Thus the Quranic instructions on the one hand
restricts one from being niggardly, and on the other
hand it does not permit to be extravagant and
squanderer.
With regards to the manner of walking on the earth,
Qur’ān says:
And be thou modest in thy gait (neither going too
slowly nor too quickly). {Al-Quran, Surah Luqmān,
Chapter 31:19}
With regards to maintaining moderation in the voice
during speaking and talking, Qur’ān says:
and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds
without doubt is the braying of the ass. {Al-Quran,
Surah Luqmān, Chapter 31:19}
Even during the worship and acts of adoration the
voice should remain moderate; it should neither be
raised too high nor should it be dropped too low,
though during supplication low voice is
recommended. Allah says:
Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low
tone, but seek a middle course between. {Al-Quran,
Surah al-Isrā, Chapter 17: 110}.
Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for
Allah loveth not those who trespass beyond
bounds. {Al-Quran, Surah al-Aʻrāf, Chapter 7: 55}.
With regards to the manner of eating and filling the
stomach, the Qur’ānic injunction is:
And eat (freely of clean, lawful foods) and drink
(freely of clean, lawful beverages), and be not
extravagant; surely He does not approve of the
extravagants. {Al-Quran, Surah al-Aʻrāf, Chapter
7:31}.
With regards to the matter of Fear and Hope ( و اجر
)فوخ with Allah, Islam again teaches the principle of
moderation --- neither letting its followers to become
despaired of Allah’s Mercy nor letting them to
become heedless of His Wrath and Punishment.
The holy Quran quotes the words of Prophet Yaʻqūb /
Jacob (A.S.) when he said to his sons:
My sons! Go and ascertain about Yūsuf and his
brother, and despair not of the Mercy of Allah; none
despair of the Mercy of Allah except a people
disbelieving. {Al-Quran, Surah Yūsuf, Chapter 12:
87}
The sinners and the transgressors whose hearts are
melted and are inclined to repent are thus
affectionately addressed as:
Say thou (on My behalf, O Prophet!): my bondmen
who have committed extravagance against themselves
(by acts of infidelity and impiety): despair not of the
Mercy of Allah: verily Allah will forgive the sins
altogether (to those who sincerely repent and confess
His Unity). Verily He! He is the Forgiving, the
7. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) ISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Available Online @ www.ijtsrd.com | Volume – 2 | Issue – 4 | May-Jun 2018 Page: 2749
Merciful. {Al-Quran, Surah al-Zumar, Chapter 39:
53}.
The most decisive Āyah (verse) in this regard is the
following one:
Is he who is devout in the watches of the night
prostrating himself and standing, bewaring of the
Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord to be
dealt with like a wicked infidel? Say thou (O
Prophet!): shall they who know and those who know
not be held equal (in the sight of Allah)? It is only
men of understanding who receive admonition. {Al-
Quran, Surah al-Zumar, Chapter 39: 9}.
It has been made clear in this Āyah (verse) that the
attitude of true believers is in between two extremes;
they are neither heedless of the wrath and punishment
of Allah nor lose hope in His Mercy. Enumerating the
noble qualities of true believers, Allah says:
Their sides leave off the couches (while yet there is
night) calling upon their Lord in fear and in desire,
and they expend of that with which We have provided
them. {Al-Quran, Surah al-Sajdah, Chapter 32: 16}.
2. CONCLUSION
Thus the principles governing Islamic way of life are
highly balanced. They are free from either extremes.
The Islamic teachings aim at establishing such a
balanced human community which is free from
excesses and deficiencies and steers away to the way
which is moderate and justly balanced. This
moderation is not seen in one or the two aspects only
but it encompasses all the aspects of human life. From
the above discussion it is clear that Islam has
maintained the principle of moderation and
equilibrium intact in matters related to the beliefs, acts
of worship and adoration, mutual dealings and
transactions, family and social life and even to the
matters related to the international relationships.
This principle of moderation plays a threefold role in
the human life. Firstly, it saves humanity from the
detriments which are caused by the extremism,
secondly, it is the basis for the establishment of a
justly balanced human community which is
prosperous and happy in all respects, thirdly, it
safeguards humans from falling to the extremism
pleasing to Satan that leads to astray from the straight
path. Above all this upholding the principle of
moderation propounded by the holy Quran is also the
means of gaining the goodwill and pleasure of the
Lord of the worlds.
