What is your advice to the youth who exceed the proper limits in religion?
It is necessary for the youth and everyone else to beware of violence, extremism and exceeding the proper limits.
O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion
And by the Mercy of Allâh, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you
"And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear (Allâh)."
Ruined are Al-Mutanatti`un (those who exceed the proper limits in religion). He repeated it thrice. (Related by Muslim in his Sahih (authentic) book of Hadith).
Beware of exceeding the limits in your religion, because those before you were destroyed due to their exceeding the limits in religion. (Related by Imam Ahmad and Ahl-ul-Sunan (authors of Hadith compilations classified by jurisprudential themes) with a good Sanad (chain of narrators))
Consequently, I advise all Du`ah (callers to Islam) to beware of excessiveness and exceeding the proper limits. They have to be moderate and adopt the middle course set by Allah in His Book and in the Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet).
