Extremism (Gulu)
According to Quran and Sunnah
A desert Arab came to Allah's Apostle and asked him about ablution. He emonstrated (washing each part of his body) thrice, and then said: That is (the method) of the ablution. And he who does more than this has done wrong, transgressed the limit and has oppressed (himself).
The Noble Qur'an - An-Nisa 4:171
O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of All?h aught but the truth. ...
Reported by an-Nasaa'ee (5/268), ibn Maajah (no. 3029), Ahmad (1/215, 347) with a saheeh sanad.
The Messenger of Allaah (SAW) said, "I warn you of extremism in the Religion for indeed those that came before you were destroyed due to their extremism in the religion."
Hadith - Al-Bukhari 9.582, Narrated Ibn Abbas
(regarding the Verse): "Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone." (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah's Apostle was hiding himself in Mecca, and when he raised his voice while reciting the Qur'an, the pagans would hear him and abuse the Qur'an and its Revealer and to the one who brought it. So Allah said:
"Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone." (17.110) That is, "Do not say your prayer so loudly that the pagans can hear you, nor say it in such a low tone that your companions do not hear you." But seek a middle course between those (extremes), i.e., let your companions hear, but do not relate the Qur'an loudly, so that they may learn it from you.
Hadith - Muslim and Bukhari, Narrated 'Aisha, r.a.
Whenever Allah's Apostle was given the choice of one of two matters, he would choose the easier of the two, as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful to do so, he would not approach it. Allah's Apostle never took revenge (over anybody) for his own sake but (he did) only when Allah's legal bindings were outraged in which case he would take revenge for Allah's sake.

Comments on this journal
1. The prophet prayed all night long standing, that his feet went swollen. (God loved that)
2. The prophet was struck with stones so much that his shoes were filled with blood and yet he said forgivness (God loved that)
3. The prophet was in the valley of shaib-e-abi-talib for 3 years, with nothing to eat but leafs and he choose for his followers to be there (God loved that)
4. The historic event of Karbala where yazid and the grandson of the prophet went to war and the family was killed (God loved that)
we are told to learn from our leaders, the examples that we see though the life of our religious leaders tell us a story of extreamism (at least i see it like that) then why adopt something that is not loved by God?
