MODERATION IN ALL THINGS
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once asked a
companion: "(Is it true) that you fast all day and
stand in prayer all night?" The companion replied that
the report was indeed true. The Prophet then said: "Do
not do that! Observe the fast sometimes and also leave
(it) at other times. Stand up for prayer at night and
also sleep at night. Your body has a right over you,
your eyes have a right over you and your wife has a
right over you." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Hadith 127
ADOPT A MODERATE COURSE
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Do
good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately. .
.Always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course,
whereby you will reach your target (of paradise)." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Hadith 470
BE MODERATE IN YOUR RELIGIOUS DEEDS
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The
good deeds of any person will not make him enter
Paradise (i.e., no one enters paradise only through
his good deeds)." The Prophet's companions asked: "Not
even you?" The Prophet replied: "Not even myself,
unless God bestows His favor and mercy on me. So be
moderate in your religious deeds and do what is within
your ability. None of you should wish for death, for
if he is a doer of good, he may increase his good
deeds, and if he is an evil doer, he may repent to
God." - Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Hadith 577
