CRITICISM OF ISLAM HADHARI

Some Muslims believe that Islam is already moderate and encompasses life in every part of this world. Extremism exists in the form of misinterpretation and selective interpretation of the Qur'an and the Hadiths . Therefore, the word "Hadhari" is redundant, and may cause the misunderstanding that Islam by itself is not already moderate. However, Islam Hadhari has been welcomed by those who fear that the main Islamic opposition party is too extreme with its goals. The concept of Islam Hadhari as a moderate doctrine also came into question by examining Article 121 (1A) of the Malaysia Federal Constitution which is against Principle 7. While, the Prime Minister of Malaysia appeared to be promoting a limited brand of Islam, with some limit within the Sharia the involvement of several of its academicians in Jemaah Islamiyah Network, the frequent occurrences of snoop squad seemed to suggest Islam Hadhari is mere rhetorics.


ETYMOLOGY


The Arabic word حضارة ''ħadāra'' (from which "Hadhari" is derived) refers to both "civilization" and "settled life" or "sedentariness" (i.e. not being nomadic), so that the term Islam Hadhari implicitly contrasts itself with the Islam of nomads or bedouin.
