Wasathiyyatul Islam Diplomacy Indonesian Ulama Council

Islam is a perfectly complete religion, very comprehensive— encompassing the world and the hereafter, the profane and the sacred—for all mankind. The completeness of Islam is reflected in its various teachings, including an invitation for humans to live in peace based on justice for all; young and old, Muslim or non-Muslim. The grace of Islam also extends beyond everything, penetrating the niches of life, geographical boundaries, ethnicities, countries, and all inhabitants of nature.

One characteristic of Islam is wasathiyah, meaning realistic. Wasathiyah Islam means Islam which is between reality and ideality. Islam has an ideal goal which is the goal to create welfare for people in this world and the hereafter.
