if islam is a perfect religion then adhering to it in the most fundamental way doesn't that make you extremely righteous or extremely peaceful
what if you are moderate and just follow the scripture in a relaxed manner just on and off,not really pay attention. isn't this how impurities creep into a muslim.
what if you are a modernist muslim who kinda believes in allah but still very much likes this world and the prospect of ''man made'' democracy and gaining financial power?

"2595 One should try very hard to practice all three aspects of the din.
2596 Nevertheless, going to extremes with practicing the din is not to be done. The person should realize that at
the end of the day, even after trying very hard, he will fall short of the ideal. These mistakes and shortcomings
are inherently part of the human and trying to make one's life extremely rigid to avoid such failings will not get
rid of them entirely (they will just show up in another way). Rather than going to extremes, the person should
continue to live a balanced life (even if full of shortcomings) and pray that Allah forgives.
The person should also realize that people living near the end of world and further away from the Prophet
Muhammad (May Allah bless him and give him peace) are less responsible for their actions (as it is much
harder to be guided now than it was before).
2597 There are many signs that the person has gone to extremes in trying to practice the din. Among these signs
are:
a) Losing the desire to live life (e.g., nothing seems enjoyable anymore) and actively seeking
death (e.g., through suicidal means); [The Prophet (May Allah bless him and give his peace)
informed us that near the end of the world, many believers will wish that they were dead because
of the difficulties they will face (perhaps because society will become so materialistic that the
pressure to survive materially will not allow full practice of the wajib aspects of the din and
disobedience will run rampant and become impossible (or very difficult) to avoid in population
centers). Readers of the future who find themselves in such circumstances should keep in mind
Allah's wisdom in making them live in such a hard time (in terms of practicing the din).
Additionally, they should console themselves by expecting that Allah will treat them very well in
the next world for undergoing such suffering while trying to practice the din.]
b) Not treating other people politely and with respect due to rigid attempts to practice the din
c) Feeling extreme physical fatigue or weakness (e.g., fainting or lacking sleep from trying to
practice the din)
d) Physical illness (e.g., becoming so sick that one cannot leave bed or take care of one's daily
needs)
e) Extreme depression (e.g., feeling that there is no hope for good anymore)
People who see signs of going to extremes should cut back on their practice of the din a little bit at a time (e.g.,
starting from cutting back on performing mandub acts and avoiding disliked acts) until they come to a point
where they are at a level of comfortable practice. They can then, Allah-willing, stay at this level of comfort
(which, Allah-willing, should include performing the five pillars and avoiding the major acts of disobedience)
for the rest of their lives. This is much better than leaving the din all together and is better than cutting back on all practice of the din at once (e.g., to stop praying five times a day)."

it doesn't do to be a fanatic, although some would be since their circumstances force them, the goal of religion is to achieve a good life, we are told in the qur'an that we are God's regents on earth, that we should not forget our portion of this eorld, one who views religion as ritual and commands and prohibitions only does not understand it truly.
on another note religion is, to the largest extent man made, other than the original revelations, everything else is the effort of humans,,

xtremism in religion can be in many different ways say for instance the story of the sahaba...to the nearest meanng..once they were sitting in a gathering with the prophet and he mentioned some things after that on sahabi said...i will always fast...the other said i wont go near women...the third saud i will pray namaz day n night....wen the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam found out he called em n xplained to em....
how this was not right....wallahu aalam..
another type is like making a halal thing haram on ones self...like the prophet made an oath not to have honey again and allah sent down the ayah ''oh prophet y do u make haram on upon yourself those thigns that allah has made halal for you...wallahu aalam.hope am not bangin over the wrong thing
