Department of Life Sciences Organizes a Seminar on Extremism Between the Jurisprudential Concept and Contemporary Reality

The Department of Life Sciences at the College of Education for Pure Sciences – University of Samarra organized a scientific seminar entitled: “Extremism Between the Jurisprudential Concept and Contemporary Reality.” The seminar was presented by Assistant Professor Dr. Asmaa Hassan Juma and Assistant Professor Dr. Jawdat Hameed Saleh, a lecturer at Al-Imam Al-A’dham College in Samarra.

The speakers defined extremism as a person’s tendency to stand at a far end away from moderation. Originally used in a sensory context, the term later extended to moral and intellectual aspects, such as extremism in thought and behavior. They emphasized that extremism leads to destruction, danger, and a departure from safety and protection.

Dr. Saleh explained that Islam rejects this concept and provides remedies for it, as it is distinguished by its principles of moderation that preserve human dignity and structure. Islam represents moderation in perception and belief, as well as in conduct and legislation.

The seminar concluded with a set of recommendations rooted in Islamic teachings, affirming that Islam is a religion of moderation and balance between rights and duties; between the rights of the self, family, and body and the rights of God Almighty. It also emphasized Islam’s balance between spiritual worship and material aspects necessary for a Muslim’s life, between religion and worldly life, and between personal needs and devotion to God.
