Abstract

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and his companions, and peace be upon them all.
This study aims to clarify the true picture of Islam and Muslims, make clear the meaning of the opposite extremism, explain its effects, and know ways to confront it, since extremism of all kinds does not harm the extremist only, but extends to society as a whole.
This topic has been widely discussed recent years, which has necessitated interest and clarification on the part of researchers and scholars.
The study concluded with a number of results, including:
-       The deviation from the moderation approach is a cause of misery in this world and the hereafter.
-       The opposite extremism is the bias towards the side of deadly estrangement.
-       Extremism is a cause of division, conflict and the forbidden disagreement, and a reason for the emergence of groups and parties that contradict the Islamic religion.

The study recommended that scholars, teachers, academics and educators should raise awareness of youth, and intensify efforts on the Internet to confront the threat of extremism.
