| description | My research shows that the justly balanced worldview of Islam has wide implications for
contemporary Muslim society encompassing the Muslims’ religiosity, spirituality, intellectuality, outlook,
attitudes, behaviour, relationships and activism. Each one of the twenty positions spelled out by al-
Qaradhawi also serves as general principles and guidelines towards achieving the goals of Islamic
moderation, and avoid the tendency of Muslim societies to be caught between the two poles of
immoderation (ifreet) and negligence (tafreet). In addition to the above twenty “middle path” positions
that Muslims have to adopt, al-Qaradhawi mentions eight basic religious implications which Muslims
need to take note of in pursuing the path of al-Wasatiyyah.
The rise of “Islam Liberal” movement in Indonesia is a serious internal challenge to the true meaning
of Wasatiyyah. A comparison with a Singaporean Muslim stand will show the deviationist tendency of
the “Islam Liberal Network”. |
