WORLD RELIGIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately. . . Always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course, whereby you will reach your target (of paradise)."

Detailed explanation-2: -Moderation in the general sense of our time means balance in beliefs, attitudes, behaviour, order, muamalah and morality. This means that Islam is a very moderate religion, not excessive in all cases, not excessive in religion, not extreme in beliefs, not arrogant or gentle and others (Amin, 2014).

Detailed explanation-3: -Though the two main sects within Islam, Sunni and Shia, agree on most of the fundamental beliefs and practices of Islam, a bitter split between the two goes back some 14 centuries. The divide originated with a dispute over who should succeed the Prophet Muhammad as leader of the Islamic faith he introduced.

Detailed explanation-4: -Shahadah, profession of faith, is the first pillar of Islam. Muslims bear witness to the oneness of God by reciting the creed “There is no God but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God.” This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of and total commitment to Islam.
