Allaah (Ta ‘alaa) says in the Qur’aan,

“O People of the Scripture, do not go to extremes in your religion and do not speak except the truth." [Soorah an-Nisaa: 171]

“Say: O People of the Scripture, do not go to extremes in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before - they misled many and themselves strayed from the correctness of the way.” [Soorah al-Maa’idah:77]

“In both of these verses there is a forbiddance for the “people of the scripture” – the jews and christians – from going to extremes in religion. And every statement in the noble Qur’aan directed towards the people of the scripture also includes this nation (the Muslims) because it is this nation that is the primary recipient and addressee of this book. So when Allaah forbids them from going to extremes, we are even more so forbidden to go to extremes.”

Additionally, it was narrated by ‘Abdullaah Ibn ‘Abbaas (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

“Beware of extremism in religion because the only thing that destroyed those before you was extremism in religion.” [An-Nasaa’ee and Ibn Maajah]

Moreover, ‘Abdullaah Ibn Masood ( radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu ) said: Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) repeated three times:

“The Mutanatti’oon are destroyed.” [Muslim]

An-Nawawee (rahimahullaah) explains, “The Mutanatti’oon are the overly-strict people; those who go too deep (into religious matters), the extremists, those who go beyond the permissible limits in their statements and actions.” [“The Forbiddance and Danger of Extremism” by Shaykh ‘Ali Ibn Yahya al-Haddaadi from AbdurRahman.org]

The Noble Shaykh Khalid ‘Abdur Rahmaan al-Misree (hafidhahullaah) will admonish us regarding this grave matter of extremism in the religion and expound on its aspects, reasons and the cure for this disease from the pure Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

We ask Allaah to make us from those who are balanced; those who neither fall into negligence nor exceed the limits.

On the authority of Abu Ruqayya Tameem ibn Aus ad-Daaree (radhiAllaahu 'anhu) that the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

The deen (religion) is naseehah (advice/sincerity)'. We said 'To whom?' He said 'To Allaah and His Book, and His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.' [Related by Muslim]

Our Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallaam) was the foremost in giving advice, especially towards his Ummah (nation). One of his major companions, Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (radhiAllaahu 'anhu) said: “Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallaam) had left us in the following state: that there was not even a bird flapping its wings in the air without his having already imparted to us knowledge about it. Then he said (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallaam): ‘Nothing remains that brings you closer to Paradise or further from the Hellfire except that it has been explained to you’.” [al-Mu`jam al-Kabîr (2/155-156)]

Many times the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallaam) would give advice and admonish his companions with monumental pieces of advice. Even the bedouin would approach him for advice and he would admonish him appropriately with what befits him.

The noble Shaykh Ruzayq al-Qurayshee (hafidhahullaah), will bring forth one of these exemplary advices and remind us of it, that we may benefit ourselves, our familes, and all those around us, inshaaAllaah.

We ask Allaah to soften our hearts to His, 'Azza wa Jall, speech in the Qur'aan and the Meseenger's (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)words, and make it easy for us to follow and implement in our lives, until we die.

The Goal of the Sacrifice

Allah says: this sacrifice is prescribed for you so that you will remember Him at the time of slaughter, for He is the Creator and Provider. Nothing of its flesh or blood reaches Him, for He has no need of anything other than Himself. During the time of Jahiliyyah, when they offered sacrifices to their gods, they would put some of the meat of their sacrifices on their idols, and sprinkle the blood over them. But Allah says:

(It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah,) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ibn Jurayj said, "The people of the Jahiliyyah used to put the meat of their sacrifices and sprinkle the blood on the House, and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah said, "We have more right to do that.'' Then Allah revealed the words:

(It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is Taqwa from you that reaches Him.) That is what He will accept and reward for, as mentioned in the Sahih,

(Allah does not look to your appearance or your colors, but He looks to your hearts and deeds.) And in the Hadith; (Indeed charity falls in the Hand of Ar-Rahman before it falls in the hand of the one asking.)

(Thus have We made them subject to you) meaning, `for this purpose We have subjugated the Budn for you,'

(that you may proclaim Allah's greatness for His guidance to you.) means, that you may glorify Him for guiding you to His religion and His way which He loves and is pleased with, and has forbidden you to do all that He hates and rejects.

(And give glad tidings to the doers of good.) means, `give good news, O Muhammad, to those who do good,' i.e., whose deeds are good and who remain within the limits prescribed by Allah, who follow that which has been prescribed for them, who believe in the Messenger and follow that which he has conveyed from his Lord.

(Note) The Udhiyyah is Sunnah Mustahabbah One animal is sufficient on behalf of all the members of one household. Ibn `Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah continued to offer sacrifice for ten years.'' This was recorded by At-Tirmidhi. Abu Ayyub said: "At the time of the Messenger of Allah , a man would sacrifice a sheep on behalf of himself and all the members of his household, and they would eat from it and feed others, until the people started boasting ﴿by sacrificing more than one﴾ and things reached the stage that you see now.'' This was recorded by At-Tirmidhi, who graded it Sahih, and by Ibn Majah. `Abdullah bin Hisham used to sacrifice one sheep on behalf of his entire family; this was recorded by Al-Bukhari. Concerning how old the sacrificial animal should be, Muslim recorded from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah said:

(Do not sacrifice any but mature animals, and if that is not possible, then sacrifice a young sheep.)

(38. Truly, Allah defends those who believe. Verily, Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate.)
