Abstract

The research aims to elucidate the concept of moderation and explain its significance in the Quran and Sunnah, along with presenting practical examples of moderation from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. It aspires to guide the Muslim youth onto the right path of moderate Islam, and the "clear path" left by our Prophet ﷺ. It addresses the issue of extremism that some Muslim youths have fallen into, due to intellectual emptiness and influence by aberrant ideas, from which our religion is innocent. To clarify the pristine vision of the gentle Hanafi faith, far from the pressures and accusations of violence, bloodshed, extremism, harshness, and excess practiced by some of its followers and enemies, the researcher has chosen to cite noble verses and honourable Hadiths, followed by practical examples from the life of the Prophet ﷺ as the best guide for a moderate life,The researcher has arrived at a comprehensive understanding of moderation in Islam, detailed in the research findings. Among the most important is that it is a mercy to all worlds, calling for gentleness in everything, following a path of justice with friends and foes alike, and spreading peace among other results that must be taught to the youth,The researcher has combined three methodologies: historical, inductive, and analytical. The research findings generally and specifically achieve the intended goal.
