The Middle Path
Brother Anis has put up an explanation of the term “Al Umma Al Wasat” or the community of the middle way, as Muslims are described in verse 2:143 of the Quran.An excerpt:
“The Arabic expression which we have translated as ‘the community of the middle way’ is too rich in meaning to find an adequate equivalent in any other language. It signifies that distinguished group of people which follows the path of justice and equity, of balance and moderation, a group which occupies a central position among the nations of the world so that its friendship with all is based on righteousness and justice and none receives its support in wrong and injustice.”
