وَهُوَ بَيْنَ الْغُلُوِّ وَالتَّقْصِيرِ وَبَيْنَ التَّشْبِيهِ وَالتَّعْطِيلِ وَبَيْنَ الْجَبْرِ وَالْقَدَرِ وَبَيْنَ الْأَمْنِ وَالْإِيَاسِ.
The religion of Islam follows a middle path between excess and deficiency, likening God to creation and denying His attributes, compulsion and the doctrine of autonomous human creation, and feeling secure from punishment and despairing of mercy.
Clause structure: Bayna ... wa recurs four times as a parallel construction. Each pair sets out two extremes and the sound position between them.
Meaning and inference: The pairs concern distinct domains: exaggeration and neglect, assimilation and denial, compulsion and absolute self-determination, false security and despair.
Limit of inference: Moderation does not mean averaging competing truth claims arithmetically; the criterion remains sound evidence and doctrine.
