Difference between moderation and extremism

Maulana, yeh sawal aaya hai Ahmedabad se, Hamid sahab ne kiya hai aur unhone aap se poocha hai ke What is the difference between moderation and extremism is ke baray mein bataein. dekhein, moderation ya modernity koi bohat well-defined term nahi hai. extremism ka to definition available hai magar modernity ka definition available nahi hai. jahan tak mein jaanta hoon. Lekin

aam taur par jo yeh alfaaz istemal kiye jaate hain, us ke lehaz se mein is ki thori si wazahat karunga. extremism ka matlab hai ghulu. Yani mazhab ki taleemat jo hain, us mein ghulu karna. is ka koi extremist version nikalna. Jaise aik misaal deta hoon aap ko ke wuzu hum karte hain to us mein hota hai ke saare jo aza hain, wuzu wale, woh sab dho jayen.

to aik sahab thay, un ko mehsoos hua ke aankh ke andar bhi pani dalna chahiye. To aankh ke andar pani dalne lagein. aankh ke andar pani, woh samajhte thay ke is ke baghair wuzu nahi hoga. To aankh ke andar pani dalte dalte un ki aankh chali gayi, chali gayi. woh nabina ho gaye. That is ghulu aur ya extremism. Abhi jo buq o haram jo hai, woh ghulu ki misaal hai. Jitni bhi musalmanon mein is waqt chal rahi hain tehrikein, sab ghulu hi ki misalein hain. Sab ki sab. Yani Islam ki taleemat mein ghulu karna.

har taleem mein jo, jaise misaal ke taur par dekhen, ek jagah mein gaya to wahan par main chai aai aur aur biscuit aaya. to main ne aisa kiya ke ek haath mein biscuit le liya, ek haath mein chai le liya. to thoda main aadat aisa kar raha tha ke main chai mein shakar nahin dalta. to biscuit istemal karta hoon. thoda sa biscuit liya aur phir chai piya. to bada is ka charcha hai. woh dekho, baayein haath se kha rahe hain. yeh hai ghalu. is ka naam ghalu hai. to har cheez mein yeh ghalu hai.

political ghalu, aqeedaadi ghalu, har cheez mein ghalu. yeh hai extremism. aur jahan tak modernism ya modernity ki baat hai, to is ka matlab hai ke daur jadeed ke daur jadeed ke mutabiq banana. islam ki taleemat ko daur jadeed ke mutabiq banana.

to yeh jaisa ke main ne arz kiya, yeh bahut well-defined term nahin hai. lekin is ka matlab hai ke islam misfit na rahe daur jadeed mein. woh is mein logon ko lage ke yeh aaj ka mazhab hai. jaise misaal ke taur par burqa hai. auratein burqa pehenti hain to logon ko nazar aata hai ke yeh to misfit hain aaj ke mahol mein. to agar aap burqa aage utar dein to kya yeh? yeh modernity ka ek ek misaal hogi. to is mani mein main koi badi judgment nahin de raha hoon. sirf yeh bata raha hoon ke modernism kya hai aur extremism kya hai. Moderation, Maulana hain? Moderation ka matlab hota hai eitidal.

Moderation ka eitidal. to bahut kam farq hai dono mein. koi bahut zyada farq nahin hai alag alag. lekin moderation ka matlab hota hai eitidal. yaani ek extreme par na jana. to jaisa ke main ne arz kiya, is ka koi bahut well-defined version maujood nahin hai. lekin is ka mafhoom yahi hai ke aap eitidal se kaam len aur extreme par na jayen. That is the moderation.

Maulana, agla sawal lene se pehle ek comment padhna chahenge. jo Maulana Iqbal Umri ne bheja hai, Chennai se. aur unhon ne likha hai ke Maulana, jannat ka intellectual tasawwur Quran aur Hadees ke baad sirf Al-Risala Mission ki tehreer aur taqreer mein milta hai.
