It was narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "The deen (your religion Islam) is easy. Anyone who deliberately makes the deen (Islam) too hard on himself will find it becomes too much for him. So aim for what is right, follow a middle path, accept the good news of the reward for right action, and seek help [to reach your goal by being constant in worshiping] in the morning, evening and some of the night." [Bukhari]
ALLAH KNOWS BEST.
Below are some examples of deeds that can explain what deficiency, moderation and extremism in Islam is:
The similitude of the above is that of different levels of body size e.g. emaciated/malnourished (deficiency), slim (moderation), extremely obese (extremism):
It was narrated that Anas (May Allah be pleased with him( said, "Three people came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) to ask about how the Prophet (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) worshiped. When they were told, it was as if they thought it was little and said, 'Where are we in relation to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who has been forgiven his past and future wrong actions?'" He said, "One of them said, 'I will pray all of every night.' Another said, 'I will fast all the time and not break the fast.' The other said, "I will withdraw from women and never marry.' The Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) came to them and said, 'Are you the ones who said such-and-such? By Allah, I am the one among you with the most fear and awareness of Allah, but I fast and break the fast, I pray and I sleep, and I marry women. Whoever disdains my sunnah is not with me.'" [Agreed upon]
Allah knows best.
Whoever goes against the Sunnah/tradition (example) of the Messenger
Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) may not be among those who
will be welcomed in the Messenger's river of Kauthar on Judgment Day.
