Excesses are forbidden in our religion and we are commanded to be moderate in all our activities in life. Even in matters of religion we are warned against committing any excesses, as is clear from the following Qur'anic verses : "O people of the book, commit no excesses". (4:171)
"Say O people of the Book, exceed not in your religion". (5:80)
On spending, the Holy Qur'an says "Make not thy hand tied (like a niggard's) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become blameworthy and destitute." (17:29)
"Those who when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, hold a just (balance) between those (extremes) (25:67)
As regards the good things and the lawful, the Qur'an says: "O ye who believe, make not unlawful the good things which God hath made lawful for you, but commit no excess for God loveth not those given to excess." (5:90)
On speaking aloud the Qur'an says "Neither speak thy prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between." (17:110)
Even on fighting those oppressors who fight you, the Qur'an says: "Fight in the cause of God, those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors". (2:190)
The Ummah of Islam is justly balanced, and there is no extremity in matters. The true path is the even path, the path of rectitude. The Holy Qur'an says: "Thus have we made of you an Ummah justly balanced, that ye may be witnesses over the nations." (2:143)
Islam calls for establishment of peace on earth and condemned violence, aggression and oppression. Islam preaches brother hood, tolerance and communal harmony.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
