The centrality of Islam and its importance in the Islamic call

Abstract

The study discusses the significance of Islamic moderation in various domains, particularly in the dissemination of the Islamic doctrines to confront claims of opponents using clear cut evidences from the Holy Quran and Prophet Traditions as well as books of interpretation. The study aims at clarifying the moderation of Islam in the domain of preaching whereby Islam confronts opponents’ accusations as being a religion of extremity and coercion. To achieve this objective, the study adopts the theoretical analytical approach by analyzing data collected from outstanding references to arrive at plausible justifications. It is hoped that by conducting this study, problems and doubts concerning the moderation of Islam will be removed, particularly when it comes to preaching and coexistence. The significance of this study stems from its attempts to highlight the values of moderation and Islamic trends concerning moderation. The scope of moderation must be wide enough to achieve world peace. Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations can be highlighted;-Enhancing dialogue among civilizations, religions and trends. -Holding conferences and consultations on moderation. -Arts and educational institutions should be employed to highlight the values of moderation.-Translating books in Arabic that focus on moderation to other languages.
