Regarding Islamic legal systems, what is the concept of gradualism (Tadarruj) and the concept of balance (Tawazun)?
Gradualism is the transition from one stage to another, and it is a divine law that encompasses the universe and humankind. It manifested in the creation of the heavens and the earth in six days, and in the دعوت (call) of prophets like Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, who gradually presented his call over 23 years. As for balance, it means moderation and a middle path, far from excess and negligence. It is a prominent characteristic of Islam in its approach, which balances between the soul and the body. This is evident in the methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, who adhere to moderation in beliefs, acts of worship, ethics, and dealings.
