Ruined are the extremists

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs about the failure and loss of those who go to extremes - without guidance or knowledge - in their religious and worldly affairs and in their words and deeds, exceeding the Shariah-the prescribed limit outlined by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

Lessons from the hadith

• Seeking what is more perfect in worship and in other things is commendable, and it should be achieved by adhering to Shariah.
• It is recommended to stress important things, as the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) repeated his statement three times.
• It shows the tolerance and ease of Islam.
