The Meaning of the Middle Path in Religion

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, another questioner says: What is meant by the middle path in religion? May Allah preserve you?

Answer:
The middle path in religion is moderation between extremism and negligence, so that a person is moderate, neither harsh nor extreme, nor lax and negligent. So let him be moderate in his religion, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said to His Prophet:
So remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allah], and do not transgressفَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا
[Hud 11:112]
Excess is going to the extreme and being harsh. Yes.
