Islamic Approach to Confronting Extremism
Dr. Al-Sayed Nagem, one of Al-Azhar’s scholars, affirmed that Islam promotes the values of mercy and tolerance, safeguards the individual and society, and emphasizes that confronting extremist thought requires a return to the correct methodology based on moderation and balanced view, away from fanaticism. He pointed out that love of homeland in Islam is not limited to feelings alone; it is also considered a form of worship for which one is rewarded. It encompasses all actions aimed at serving the community and the nation. He cited the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when he left Mecca, emphasizing that love of homeland is an innate value that does not conflict with religion. The Prophet was attached to Mecca but prayed to Allah to make him love Medina, reflecting the importance and significance of the homeland in the human soul.
