Tazkirat at the Islamic Hospital Consortium Conference in Kuantan 19th December 2010

1.0  We made you an ummah justly balanced ummat wasata
2.0 Omar Ibn al Khattab on a balanced person: strong but not violent, lenient but not weak, generous but not wasteful, economical and not miserly
3.0 Balance: duniya vs akhira, freedom vs slavery; idealism vs reality; individualism vs communitarianism; strict application, aziimat vs permission, rukhsat
4.0 There is however no middle way between truth, haqq, and falsehood, baatil. However our reaction to the baatil must be moderate.
