The Prophet (May Allah’s peace and blessing be upon him) said: Beware of extremism because verily those before you have been destroyed because of extremism on the religion.

From the Book: The word Ghuluww originates from the word Ghalaa which means to go beyond the bounds. As for the Shar’eeyah definition extremism means to go beyond the boundaries which Allah ta’ala has set in his book and the Prophet (May Allah’s peace and blessing be upon him) has set in his Sunnah. In other words, as Imam As Sa’di mentioned in his Tafseer, to go beyond the boundaries of truth into falsehood.
From these definitions it is clear that extremism and its manifestations are not subject to the understanding of Zaid and ‘Amr. Rather, extremism must be understood in the light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. If one does not subject his understanding of extremism to the evidences of the Book and the Sunnah he may find himself in great danger as he would spoken about Allah without knowledge. Additionally, it may go to the extent wherein the claimant may accuse the legislated proofs of being outdated, barbaric and irrelevant.
