The Structure of Moderation in Religious Society As Emphasized in Religious Knowledge

Deliberation on the revealed verses suggests that the status of moderation and the applicability of its ordinance to the human Divine nature and the creation order is pivotal in religious societies, because deviation from moderation is directly related to different deviations in epistemic beliefs and paves the ground for it. Adopting the descriptive-analytical method, the present paper has dealt with the status of moderation in religious society by bringing up the indexes, objective symbols, the modifications that Islam has brought into Paganism, and the outcomes of abandoning moderation. It is aimed at explaining thereby such indexes as right-centeredness, rationalism, and avoidance of violence and enumerating such instances as causing evil and corruption, disagreement and disunity, distortion of religion, disbelief and misguidance, and entanglement in the worldly and other-worldly torments that are caused by abandoning moderation.
