Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, our Shaykh. This is a question about moderation and balance, and the most important factors that help achieve the moderation and balance that Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) intended for this ummah (the Muslim community)?
Answer:
The greatest factor is learning: learning the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and studying the correct 'aqidah (creed), the 'aqidah of the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah (the people of the Sunnah and the community). This is only achieved through learning: learning the correct 'aqidah that explains and clarifies these matters. Therefore, learning is necessary, and studying the correct 'aqidah by which we know these matters is necessary. As for not learning, or learning from other than scholars, that is of no benefit; rather, it may cause more harm than good.
