The title is an article by Al Awsi Ali Ramadhan published in “Risalatut-Taqrib”, 2011, Number 83; Page(s) 19 to 20. The following is an excerpt of its abstract.[1]
Moderation in belief and conduct
ln fact, we Muslims have today a pressing need to live the life of wasatiyyah (moderateness) in belief, ideology and conduct, so as to eliminate the negative tendency of the self, and to have the role of being a witness on the human beings.
Cultural consequences
Moreover, a lot of culture of understanding the others will come out of it, and activate the conceptions of this taqribi (rapprochement) culture.
Unity and solidarity
Therefore, wasatiyyah acts on gathering and becoming closer to one another, and does not cause alienation or estrangement among the Muslims, and brings people together in solidarity, does not disunite them, and it builds up and does not destroy.
