In any case, we advise both groups, we advise both groups, to be moderate in praise and criticism. And as you know, the best of matters is the middle way, and the love of extremes is wrong. Better than that is the saying of our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) in the Noble Qur'an:[Al-Baqarah 2:143] no excess and no deficiency. So we hope that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will make us all among the moderate ones who have neither extremism nor deficiency.
