Abstract

Islām is the religion of peace and security. Which teaches humanity moderation. Islām presents a detailed law of life so that man can avoid chaos and establish his individual and collective life based on moderation and balance. Extremism has nothing to do with any religion. May be part of the nature of Islam condemns any attitude or thought that has extremist thinking in different religious and political classes living in the world. Extremism is the ideology that paves the way for oppression, disunity and terrorism. The security of humanity is not possible unless terrorism and extremism are eradicated. There are many reasons for the existence of extremism, including injustice, oppression, poverty and unemployment, bigotry and egoism, armed aggression, desecration of Islāmīc rites and ignorance. In order to eradicate extremism, it is necessary to create a society keeping in view the Sirah-e-Taiba of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, which will have to create such qualities as breadth of thought, respect for humanity in thought and vision and respect for humanity. Interfaith harmony and interfaith tolerance must be demonstrated. Religious and professional, political and social and economic and social differences must be resolved with patience and moderation. The culture of tolerance, forgiveness, unity, empathy, humanitarian service and equality must be inculcated in one's words, deeds and actions so that oppression, hatred, inequality, injustice, extremism and terrorism will be eradicated from the society. By ending, the great duty of service to humanity can be relieved.
