MODERATION: ISLAM
The Balanced Nation: A Universal Responsibility By: Hafiz Tauqeer Shah
A great Persian once asked a poor Arab, “Why would uncivilized Muslim Arabian come to the biggest super power?”
All the Arab said was “I am here to help you”
Allah sent us so we can liberate human beings from their slavery to other human beings and bring them closer to their Lord. Allah wants us to take them from their narrowness of this world and to its spaciousness.
“Thus, have we made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and we appointed the Qibla to which Thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (from the Faith). indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. and never would Allah make your Faith of no effect. for Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.” 2:143
“ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing In Allah. if only the people of the Book had Faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have Faith, but Most of them are perverted transgressors.” 3:110
