What does the Qur'an say about moderation and balance?

The Qur'an praises the middle path: spending neither wastefully nor stingily, eating and drinking without excess. Balance is the mark of the believer, and Allah does not love those who go beyond bounds.

“And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate.”— 25:67 (Saheeh International)

“...and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.”— 7:31 (Saheeh International)
