Many unauthorized ulamak here conmenting about bida'ah when they cannot even level themselves in knowledge to the level of the ones they accusses of practicing the so called Bida'ah.. May Allah SWT protects all of us from the fitnah of akhirul zaman..
@Winter Cookies You can judge from their knowledges. Most of these Bida'ah accusers don't even know Arabic, so how do they interpret Quran and Hadeeth ??
From the comments below, it shows that there are several schools of thoughts about this concept of bidaah.. Each with their own arguments.. As for me, I follow my teachers embracing the differences/khilafiyah and refrain from accusing others of being outside of Islamic teachings.
The Bid'ah being disparaged by the salaf in the quotes provided is the blameworthy bid'ah which contradicts the Quran, the Sunnah, or unanimous agreement of the Muslims. Let us bring it back to the Hadith you quoted inshaAllah. Unfortunately, there are some people who misinterpret this sahih hadith related by Abu Dawud: "كل بدعة ضلالة" which means: "Most / Nearly all innovations are innovations of misguidance." Those who are misguided interpret the word (kul) as `every' and thus claim this hadith means: 'Every innovation is an innovation of misguidance'. Their claim is unfounded for two reasons. Linguistically, this hadith is similar to the hadith related by al-Bayhaqiyy: "كل عين زانية" which clearly does not mean: "Every eye gazes the look of the adulterer;" rather, it means "Most people are guilty of the forbidden look." The person blind since birth would surely not have the forbidden look, and it is known the Prophets would never commit such an abject sin. The word "كل” (kul) as used in both hadiths refers to `most,' although it can mean "every" it does not mean this in all cases. As a matter of fact, in the explanation of Sahih Muslim, an-Nawawiyy said: "The saying of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, is among the terms which are "عام مخصوص" (^am makhsus) i.e., a general statement giving a specific meaning; which is a known field in Islam, and the meaning of the hadith is "most innovations are innovations of misguidance." This field the"عام مخصوص" is seen in the Qur'an in Ayah 3 of Surat al-Ahqaf: [تدمر كل شىء] which means the wind Allah sent as punishment to the people of ^Ad demolished most [and not all] of the things. Here is the ayah in full: تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَىْء بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهَاٍمَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيم كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ِ Tudammiru kulla shay-in bi-amri rabbiha faasbahoo la yura illa masakinuhum kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeena Destroying all things [kulla shay-in] by commandment of its Lord And morning found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings. [Surah al-Ahqaf] Thus the dwellings were not destroyed although "all" [kulla shay-in] things had been destroyed. "All" [Kullu] here specifically refers to the lives of the unbelievers of Ad and their properties, but not their dwellings! So again, the interpretation of the term kullu "every" to mean "all-encompassing without exception" is incorrect. In arabic it may mean "nearly all" or "the vast majority" and this was the understanding of Imam Shafi'i and others. There is another example in Surah al-Naml (27:23) illustrating this fact..... So what is required is a harmonised understanding of the above quoted hadith from our Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with his following statement: Imam Muslim related, through the route of Jarir Ibn ^Abdullah, the Prophet said: "من سنَّ في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها وأجر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة، لا ينقص من أجورهم شىء ومن سنَّ فِى الإسلام سنة سيئة فعليه وزرها ووزر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة لا ينقص من أوزارهم شىء" "The one who innovates a good practice [sunnatun hasana] in Islam has its reward and a reward similar to those who follow him in it--until the Day of Judgment--without lessening their reward. The one who innovates a practice of misguidance would be sinful for it and has sins similar to those who follow him in it--until the Day of Judgment--without lessening their sins." How did the Ulema harmonise between these hadith? Imam Nawawi said in Sahih Muslim (6-21) "The Prophet's saying every innovation is a general-particular and it is a reference to most innovations. The linguists say, "Innovation is any act done without a previous pattern, and it is of five different kinds.'" Imam Nawawi also said in Tahzeeb al Asma' wal Sifaat, "Innovation in religious law is to originate anything which did not exist during the time of the Prophet, and it is divided into good and bad." He also said, "Al-muhdathat (pl. for muhdatha) is to originate something that has no roots in religious law. In the tradition of religious law it is called innovation, and if it has an origin within the religious law, then it is not innovation. Innovation in religious law is disagreeable, unlike in the language where everything that has been originated without a previous pattern is called innovation regardless of whether it is good or bad." Shaykh Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani, the commentator on Al Bukhari, said, "Anything that did not exist during the Prophet's time is called innovation, but some are good while others are not." Abu Na'eem, narrated from Ibrahim Al Junaid, said, "I heard Ash-Shafi'i saying, "Innovation is of two types; praiseworthy innovation and blameworthy innovation, and anything that disagrees with the Sunnah is blameworthy.'" Imam Albayhaqi narrated in Manaqib Ash-Shafi'i that Ash-Shafi'i said, "Innovations are of two types: that which contradicts the Qu'ran, the Sunnah, or unanimous agreement of the Muslims is a innovation of deception, while a good innovation does not contradict any of these things." Al `Izz bin Abdussalam said, at the end of his book, Al Qawa'id, "Innovation is divided into obligatory, forbidden, recommended, disagreeable and permissible, and the way to know which is which is to match it against the religious law." And Allah knows best.
@freepalestine3383 Narrated Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected." That is exactly our concept on Bidah. We believe any Bidah which is not in harmony with the principles of religion only that is rejected but other is not. Fanatics quote: "The best of the speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best of the guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error." [Sahih Muslim # 1885] And hadith in Sunnan Nasai’i adds: … and every going astray is in the Fire.' [Sunnan Nasai’i Vol. 2, Book 19, Hadith 1579] Salafis and fanatics use these hadiths to misguide people that every innovation is evil. If we take these hadiths on face value then there will be contradiction in Qur’an and Sunnah and that is impossible. This is why great scholars like Ibn Hajr al-Haythami (Rahimahullah) explained these hadiths as: وفي الحديث "كل بدْعة ضلالة وكل ضلالة في النار" وهو محمول على المحرمة لا غي Translation: That which is narrated in Hadith that “All innovations are evil and all evil are in hell fire.” This hadith will be applied for Bidat al Muhrima (i.e. category of haram innovations only) not others.[Al Haythami in Fatawa al Hadithiyyah, Volume No.1 Page No. 109, Published by Dar ul Fikr, Beirut, Lebanon This hadith is to be understood from another hadith which states: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أَوْزَارِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا It was narrated that Abu Juhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever introduces a good practice that is followed after him, will have a reward for that and the equivalent of their reward... [Sunnan Ibn Majah Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 207. Salafis declared this hadith as Sahih in Dar us Salam version. It is also part of a longer hadith in Sahih Muslim #2219 & 6455] While explaining this hadith Imam an-Nawawi the best Sharih of Sahih Muslim said: قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( من سن في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها ) إلى آخره ، فيه : الحث على الابتداء بالخيرات وسن السنن الحسنات ، والتحذير من اختراع الأباطيل والمستقبحات ، وسبب هذا الكلام في هذا الحديث أنه قال في أوله : ( فجاء رجل بصرة كادت كفه تعجز عنها ، فتتابع الناس ) وكان الفضل العظيم للبادي بهذا الخير ، والفاتح لباب هذا الإحسان . وفي هذا الحديث تخصيص قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : كل محدثة بدعة وكل بدعة ضلالة ، وأن المراد به المحدثات الباطلة والبدع المذمومة ، وقد سبق بيان هذا في كتاب صلاة الجمعة ، وذكرنا هناك أن البدع خمسة أقسام : واجبة ومندوبة ومحرمة ومكروهة ومباحة . Translation: The saying of Prophet - Peace be upon him that ('Whoever introduces a good practice will have a reward for that) till end of hadith. “IN THIS HADITH IT HAS BEEN STRESSED UPON TO INTRODUCE GOOD ACTIONS… In this hadith “TAKHSIS HAS BEEN MADE OVER THE HADITH WHICH STATES: EVERY INNOVATION IS BIDAH AND EVERY BIDAH IS MISGUIDANCE. (The latter) hadith refers (only) to Batil and blameworthy innovations. This has been mentioned before in regards to Salat ul Jummah where we mentioned “FIVE CATEGORIES OF BIDAH I.E. 1. WAJIB, 2. MANDUB, 3. HARAM, 4. MAKRUH, 5. AND MUBAH” [Sharh Sahih Muslim by Imam an-Nawawi under Hadith # 2219]

What a ridiculous explanation. كل Kullu means all and thats all. Translating it as most or many is deceiving the people who don't know arabic. And most of what you mentioned is mental gymnastics to allow bid'ah while there are plenty hadith of the Prophet warning against it. The Maliki scholars have written books warning against bid'ah like al i'tisaam by Imam Shatibi. It is not known of the Major 4 imams to be delving themselves into bid'ah. The Prophet sallalahu alaihi wa sallam has been sent with the clearest speech so if he says all that means all and it needs no explanation. Keep the door to bid'ah tight shut we already have the sunnah alhamdulillah there is enough worship to be done according to the sunnah so there is no need to add anything. People will eternily disagree on what is a good and bad bid'ah so the best way is to do as scholars said to keep that door shut by saying every bidah is misguidance as the Prophet said.
Is music halal or haram ? Dr Abdullah Ali's answers: It is haram in 4 school of thoughts ( 4 mazhabs ) but many many years later there are some scholars whom have different openions. My question is if 4 school of thoughts have forbidden music then why we need an openion !!!??? People with week imaan are always searching for excuses.
Brother, you need know the difference between Usul and Furu' matters in Fiqh. Music never put under the discussion of Usul matters; i.e. it's under Furu' matters. Mas'alah Furu'iyyah do have Murunah (flexibity) in changes in final rulings, reasons, ways of deducing, etc. as discussed in al-Maqasid al-Syar'iyyah. Cool info: Did you know that coffee was deem Haram in early days it was introduced to Islamic world? So why now there's no Islamic scholar issue the impermissibility of drinking coffee, as they did long time ago?
Good introduction on the topic bro Paul. A part 2 should continue by inviting the esteemed scholar Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad to further elaborate on the 'Big Bad Biddah'!.
Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir: The Prophet (ﷺ) said "Both legal and illegal things are obvious, and in between them are (suspicious) doubtful matters. So whoever forsakes those doubtful things lest he may commit a sin, will definitely avoid what is clearly illegal; and whoever indulges in these (suspicious) doubtful things bravely, is likely to commit what is clearly illegal. Sins are Allah's Hima (i.e. private pasture) and whoever pastures (his sheep) near it, is likely to get in it at any moment." (Sahih al-Bukhari 2051). This Hadith is enough for me to avoid music 🎶
Concept of Bid'at in Ahadees e Rasool ﷺ and the different between Bid'at e Hasana and Saiya: مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ (Incomplete) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who sets a good precedent in Islam, there is a reward for him for this (act of goodness) and reward of that also who acted according to it subsequently, without any deduction from their rewards; and he who sets in Islam an evil precedent, there is upon him the burden of that, and the burden of him also who acted upon it subsequently, without any deduction from their burden. (Incomplete) Sahih Muslim: 2351 (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia) Word San'na (سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً) was used which means create or invent. The word Sunnat here doesn't mean Sunnat e Rasool ﷺ, it means a way (Tariqa) Imam Nawawi (رحمة الله عليه) wrote in his Shara e Sahih Muslim (Page 327) for Sahih Muslim (2351) that it is (Mukhasis) of Sunnan e Abi Dawood (4607) which says "That every new way is Bid'at" He says that it means that every new way (Bid'at) that is Evil or harmful is not correct but if the (Bid'at) is beneficial for Ummah then it is correct in the lights of Sahih Muslim (2351) He also says that there are 5 types of Bid'ats: 1:Muharrama 2:Wajiba 3:Mandoba 4:Mustahab 5:Mubha The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib. When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rak`at (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rak`at and then said, Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception. (He then recited the poetic verse):-- I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rak`at prayer (before being killed). (Incomplete) Sahih Bukhari: 3405 (Bid'at e Hasana) (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia) Hazrat Khubaib (رضی اللہ عنہ) did Bid'at (invented a new way) and before him no one did this in Islam. Remember, it also happened in the life time of Rasool Allah ﷺ and he didn't objected but praised him a he did in Sahih Muslim (2351) قَالَ عُمَرُ نِعْمَ الْبِدْعَةُ هَذِهِ، وَالَّتِي يَنَامُونَ عَنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ. يُرِيدُ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ أَوَّلَهُ.(Incomplete) I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night. Sahih Bukhari: 2010 (Bid'at e Hasana) (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia) Hazart Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) himself called it an excellent Bid'at. Hazrat Abdul Ibn e Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) said First call to prayer (Azaan) of Jummah is Bid'at which was invented in Hazrat Usman (رضی اللہ عنہ)'s period. Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (Jild 2 Page 48) Abū Bakr told me that ‘Umar had come to him and drawn attention to the extensive slaughter among Qur’ān readers at the battle of al- Yamāma, saying he was afraid that if readers continued to be killed in large numbers at other battles a large amount of the Qur’ān would be lost, and that he therefore thought he should give command that the Qur’ān be collected. He had asked. ‘Umar how he could do a thing which God’s messenger had not done, and ‘Umar, swearing by God that this was best, had kept at him till God made him inclined to do that, and he came to hold ‘Umar’s opinion about the matter. Zaid told how Abū Bakr said to him, “You are an intelligent young man whom we do not suspect and you have been writing down the revelation which came to God’s messenger, so search for the Qur’ān and collect it, Mishkat Al-Masabih: 2220 (Also in Bukhari) (Bid'at e Hasana) (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia) One can argue that these Ahadees mentioned above are about Khulafa e Rashideen (رضي الله عنهم) and Rasool Allah ﷺ said that you should follow my Sunnat and Sunnat of my Khulafa e Rashideen (رضي الله عنهم) but this argument can easily be debunked by these ahadees since you can clearly see the words used by Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ to describe their acts and how Syedana Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) use the word bid'at for Taraweeh (which was present in time on Rasool Allahﷺ) and Syedana Abu Bakr (رضی اللہ عنہ) was reluctant to do an act that is new to Islam until he was convinced by Hazrat Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ). Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Masood (رضي الله عنه) said: If Muslims believe anything to be good for them, then it is also good in the eyes of Allah and If Muslims believe anything is bad for them, then it is also bad in the eyes of Allah. (He was referring to Ijma e Ummat on Syedana Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) being selected as Khalifa) Hakim: 4465 (Sahih) So the Narrative which is created by the people (Ghair Muqalid Ullama) by calling everything a bid'at and that it is not in Islam, can't explain the acts done in the Ahadees above without calling Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ wrong (MazAllah). Also, they celebrate the Day of Syedana Umar and Abu Bakr and other Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ with the niyat of Sawab which clearly is a Bid'at and they also do Ijtemats on Weekly, Monthly and Annually bases which are Bid'at too. So if their innovations (Bid'ats) are created for the benefit of Deen, then these act can't even be compared to the Day Rasool Allah ﷺ came into this world or what Sahaba (رضي الله عنهم) did for the deen. May Allah keep us all on aqeeda e haq and guide us all to right path. Ameen

This subject certainly stirs the emotions of Muslim's..... Prophet pbuh had the religion perfected by Allah subhanatala before he passed away....generally the practices of the people of Madinah for the first 3 generations are accepted as commendable and adherence to these practices is recommended..... Imam Malik (R.a) is a good scholar to follow in regards to knowledge and practices of the people of Madinah....
Jabir ibn Abd Allah narrated "...The Prophet said: He who introduced some good (precedent) practice in Islam which was followed after him (by people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who introduced some evil practice in Islam which had been followed subsequently (by others), he would be required to bear the burden like that of one who followed this (evil practice) without theirs being diminished in any respect.

I was looking forward to hear what Dr Abdullah Hamid Ali got to say about whether celebrating our Prophet's birthday, and similar topics such as reading the Surah Yassin or part/whole Qur'an itself and presenting the blessings of it to our loved ones who have passed away, are considered as bida'ah.

Salams brother Paul :) another very important topic that is a point of contention between Muslims. I heard alot of what was said but I never heard the outlining of the two orthodox approaches and their founders because Imam Shafi رحمه الله is the first one to split bidah according to the 5 legal classifications of Waajib, mandoob, mubah, makrooh, Haram. Imam As-Shaatibi is the one who really put the other school of thought in the map in his book الاعتصام which is followed by modern day salafis and Deobandis and Ikhwaanis and other affiliated groups. As for Music then My Iraqi Sheikh from leeds Abullahi bin Yusuf Al-Judai has written a masterpiece on music where he proves that not all music is haram and that the original status of sounds is they are lawful. He discusses the evidence of those who claim they are haram! However he does clearly say that when music is used to fuel haram gatherings where drug taking and illicit behaviour is promoted. The conclusion on bidah is that it is an issue differed upon and so Muslims need to be tolerant inshallah:)
There should be no big controversy about the classification of innovations, as it is the main opinion (Mu'tamad) of 3 madhabs (in the hanbali madhab I have not been able to do enough research to say anything about it). *It should be noted that although there is a discussion about this in the Maliki Madhab, this is the main opinion. This can be seen from the commentaries and super-commentaries on the Mukhtasar Khalil and from the connection with the Nawāzil works. Small excerpt of the understanding of the Bid'a in the respective Madhab. Shafi’i Madhab: Text taken from the book Ḥusn al - Maqṣid fī ʿAmal al - Mawlid of al - Imām al - Ḥāfiẓ Ǧalāl ad - Dīn as - Suyūṭī: Imām an-Nawawī may Allāh have mercy on him! - said in his work Tahḏīb al-asmāʾ wa-l-luġāt: The innovation as a term of religious sciences is all that was introduced after it was not present at the time of Allāh's Messenger. Similarly, Šayḫ ʿIzz ad-Dīn b. ʿAbd as-Salām says in his Qawāʿid: The innovation may be necessary, forbidden, recommended, disliked, and permitted. He then went on to say: And in order to determine which type of innovation it is in each case, we examine it in the light of the religious law. If it falls under the necessities, it is itself necessary. If it falls under the forbidden, it is itself forbidden. Likewise, if it falls under the provisions of the recommended, it is recommended; and similarly, if it falls under the provisions of the prohibited, it is prohibited. For each of these categories he gave five examples. He then went on to comment on the recommended innovations: Some examples of the recommended innovations are the formation of brotherhoods, the establishment of schools, and any other benefit that was not practiced in the early days of Islam. For example, holding tarāwīḥ-prayer, treatises on the subtleties of taṣawwuf or dialectics, as well as holding meetings in which certain issues are discussed out on the condition that hereby only after pleasing Allāh is sought. In his work Manāqib aš - Šafiʿī, al-Bayhaqī also reported on the Imām aš - Šāfiʿī - may Allāh have mercy on him! - On the basis of his chain of transmission on this following: The innovations are of two kinds: the first kind are those innovations that contradict the Qur'an, the Sunnah, a tradition, or the consensus of the Islamic community. This type of innovation is a heresy. The second type are those that do not contradict any of the mentioned fundamentals, and such innovations are not to be blamed. For even ʿUmar may Allāh be pleased with him! - said in Ramadan: "What an excellent innovation this is! By this he meant that it was a practice that had not been done before, but it did not contradict anything that already existed. Maliki Madhab: Al Wansharisy رضي الله عنه (in his Al - Mi'iyaar) الشيخ أحمد بن يحيى الونشريسي المالكي في كتاب المعيار المعرب (ج1/357-358) ما نصه: وأصحابنا وإن اتفقوا على إنكار البدع في الجملة فالتحقيق الحق عندهم أنها خمسة أقسام، ثم ذكر الأقسام الخمسة وأمثلة على كل قسم ثم قال: فالحق في البدعة إذا عُرضت أن تعرض على قواعد الشرع فأي القواعد اقتضتها ألحقت بـها، وبعد وقوفك على هذا التحصيل والتأصيل لا تشك أن قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم (كل بدعة ضلالة)، من العام المخصوص كما صرح به الأئمة رضوان الله عليهم. Imam Hattab Al-Maliki رضي الله عنه الحطاب المالكي في مواهب الجليل ج 2ص 9: وقال السخاوي في القول البديع: أحدث المؤذنون الصلاة والسلام على رسول اللـه عقب الأذان للفرائض الخمس إلا الصبح والجمعة فإنـهم يقدمون ذلك قبل الأذان، وإلا المغرب فلا يفعلونه لضيق وقتها، وكان ابتداء حدوثه في أيام الناصر صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب وبأمره، وذكر بعضهم أن أمر الصلاح ابن أيوب بذلك كان في أذان العشاء ليلة الجمعة، ثم إن بعض الفقراء زعم أنه رأى رسول اللـه وأمره أن يقول للمحتسب أن يأمر المؤذنين أن يصلوا عليه عقب كل أذان فسر المحتسب بـهذه الرؤيا فأمر بذلك واستمر إلى يومنا هذا. وقد اختلف في ذلك هل هو مستحب أو مكروه أو بدعة أو مشروع؟ واستدل للأول بقوله (وافعلوا الخير) ومعلوم أن الصلاة والسلام من أجل القرب لا سيما وقد تواترت الأخبار على الحث على ذلك مع ما جاء في فضل الدعاء عقبه والثلث الأخير وقرب الفجر. والصواب أنه بدعة حسنة وفاعله بحسب نيته. Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ghumari رضي الله عنه: أبو الفضل عبد الله الصديق الغماري في كتابه إتقان الصنعة ص/14: يعلم مما سبق أن العلماء متفقون على انقسام البدعة إلى محمودة ومذمومة وأن عمر رضى الله عنه أول من نطق بذلك ومتفقون على أن قول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم (كل بدعة ضلالة) عام مخصوص ولم يشذ عن هذا الاتفاق إلا الشاطبي صاحب الاعتصام فإنه أنكر هذا الانقسام. Imam Al-Qurtubi Al-Maliki رضي الله عنه mentions in his Tafsir to verse 117 of the Suratul Baqara also the innovations that are permitted and that do not violate the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Ibn Al-Arabi Al-Maliki رضي الله عنه see his Sharh of the Sunan of Tirmidhi to the athar of Umar ibnul Khattab.وقال الحافظ ابن العربي في شرحه على سنن الإمام الترمذي عند الكلام على حديث «إياكم ومحدثات الأمور» [5] ، وقال عمر نعمت البدعة وإنما يذم من البدع ما خالف السنة ويذم من المحدثات ما دعا إلى ضلالة. ليست البدعة والمحدَث مذمومين للفظ بدعة ومحدث ولا معنييهما، وإنما يذم من البدعة ما يخالف السنة ويذم من المحدثات ما دعا إلى الضلالة Hanafi madhab: See: Al-Imam Badruddeen Al-Ayni says in his commentary on Saheeh al-Bukhari called Umdat Al-Qaari (11/120), Al-Imam Ibn Abideen says in his Radd Al-Mukhtaar (1/375), Imam Mullah Ali Qari in Mirqat al Mifatih Sharah Mishkaat al Misabih vol. 1, p. 216 and Imam Murtaza al-Zubaidi in Taaj al-Urus, p. 271, vol. 5 (The pages may differ slightly depending on the publisher and publication date)
“The Hukm (Legislating, Commands, Judgment) is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him, that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not.” [Qur’an Chapter 12: 40]
Imam al-Baghawi (died 509AH) commented on Quran Chapter 12: 40 in Tafsir ul-Baghawi, Vol2, Pg. 427, saying, “Indeed the (Right of) ruling, commanding and prohibiting is for none but Allah”
Imam at-Tabari (died 311AH) explained this verse in Tafsir ut-Tabari, Vol 8, Page 212, saying, “Allāh will never let His creation be a partner in His ruling and judgment. He is indeed the only One Who rules (legislates) and judges, and He manages them (the creations) in whatever way He wills” The following verses show the Shirk of worshiping others besides Allāh in His Judgment and Legislation and there is absolutely no difference between the one who prostrate to idols and the one who commit Shirk with Allāh in His Judgment and Legislation. Both are Mushriks (polytheists).
Exactly! 30:52 This argument completely debunk those who say the ignorant individual should rely solely on the Qur'an and hadiths to do their Qiyas themselves, instead of relying on the Chain of Tranmissions of knowledge from scholars to scholars over the centuries right up to our Rassulullah Swalalahu Alayhi Was Salaam. This kind of behaviour aligns with the idea of the human being a god and can decide for himself or herself using Shaykh Google resulting with many Muslims doing or saying things that throw them completely out of the fold of Islam without even knowing.
Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.'
Are you so sure he meant bidah in its istilaahi sense? Seems like he intended its lughawi meaning as evidences by the fact that there was already the precedent set by the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم for praying taraweeh in congregation. He صلى الله عليه وسلم only stopped because he feared it would become obligatory.

"What is forbidden, do not do it. What is instructed, do your best to fulfill it" That is the simple instructions. God leave some ambiguity in our life decisions for us to grow. With that, we can learn from ourselves or from each other some of His Wisdom behind His Command. Do everything for God, hoping guidance and direction for whatever we do. Insyaallah, God will preserve you from being astray.

I don't think it's too difficult to understand Bid'ah, every new thing which is innovated into the religion as a form of worship or part of worship, For example nice carpet which is for the comfort of worshiper or Microphone which is to Reach out to more people while speaking 🗣️, Nobody consider these things as part of Worship so it cannot be called Bid'ah
The first adhan of jummah was added by sayyidina uthman ( radi Allahu anhu) which is part of deen and ibn umar ( radi Allahu anhu) called it bidah. If it's bidah then it's a bidah hasanah.
@@LITTLE-ROCK At the time of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), there was one adhaan, with the iqaamah. When the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) came out to deliver the khutbah and lead the prayer, the mu’adhdhin gave the adhaan, then the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) delivered the two khutbahs, then the iqaamah would be given. This is what is known and this is what is narrated in the books of Sunnah, as the questioner says, and it is something well-known to people of knowledge and faith. But then the people’s numbers in Madinah increased at the time of the Rightly Guided Caliph ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allah be pleased with him), so he decided to add the third adhaan. It is called the first adhaan, and is given to alert the people to the fact that this day is Friday, so that they may prepare themselves and hasten to the prayer before the regular adhaan that is given after the sun has passed the meridian. The Sahaabah followed him in that at his time, such as ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan ibn ‘Awf, one of the ten (who were promised Paradise), az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwaam, who was also one of the ten, Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydullah, and other senior Sahaabah. And this is how the Muslims started to do it in most regions, following the action of the Rightly Guided Caliph, ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allah be pleased with him); he was followed in that by the Rightly Guided Caliph ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and the rest of the Sahaabah. The point is that this happened during the caliphate of ‘Uthmaan and subsequently, and it has remained the practice of most of the Muslims throughout the regions and throughout the centuries until the present day, following the precedent that was set by ‘Uthmaan (may Allah be pleased with him), on the basis of his ijtihaad and sincerity towards the Muslims. And there is nothing wrong with that, because the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the Rightly Guided Caliphs; hold fast to it.” He (‘Uthmaan) was one of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the interest served by that is quite clear. Hence this was adopted by Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa‘ah, and they did not see anything wrong with it, because it was part of the practice of the Rightly Guided Caliphs ‘Uthmaan and ‘Ali and those of the Sahaabah who were present at that time (may Allah be pleased with them all).

Unfortunately this discussion failed to tackle a huge topic that affects contemporary Muslims and impacts their lives. The discussion skirts around the real issue by taking specific matters like music and looking at their shari' rulings. It would have been of much more benefit to tackle the issue of bid'ah head on in an attempt to elucidate upon the inra-Sunni fracture and the strength/weaknesses of both parties. I can recommend Shaykh Mokhtar Moghrawi for this discussion. He is an Usūlu scholar who has a lot of knowledge in this area.
Everything we do in life, depends on our niyyah or intentions, if in the end the intention is to please Allah SWT, leave it to Allah SWT to judge and we should not easily passes judgements and some of these Bida'ah accusers are very hostiles in their approach..
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 The ability to reason came with the dawn of self-consciousness and reflection. Homo Sapiens were given a stronger rational capacity or the capacity to reason and intuit the existence of Allah. With that came the power to choose between what is constructive versus what is destructive. With that came good and bad actions on Earth. Thus, the birth of morality and ethics. Before that, there was no good or bad. There were just animals driven by instinct. No animal would have invented fire and eventually industrialization. No animal would have created materialism and thus greed as a way of life, i.e., consumerism. So, with rational capacity and noetic potential homo sapiens were made responsible and were thus instantaneously authorized vicegerents on Earth or Allah's Zoo Keepers. The power to choose to make their lives and all other animals' lives good, by keeping the Earth's ecosystems in harmony and fit for habitation. Believe me, on a cosmic scale, zoo keeper is not a high-status position. For example, the angels are not material creatures and so do not work with animals in the flesh.
Music is generally discussed, whether it's halal or haraam. Not whether it's a bid'ah or not. A bud'ah is something when it's considered as part of islam that is used to come closer to Allah. For example, congregational dua.
Many authentic hadeeths where the Messenger forbade to decorate the quran and Masjids. He also forbade the exaggeration of spending on the building i.e. expensive unused chandeliers.
I tend to think that our Prophet (PBUH) warned us about innovation "in religion". This means adding another pillar to the five pillars of Islam, removing a pillar from the five pillars, or changing a pillar to deviate from the Sunnah :)
Bro Abdullah is right that "bid'ah(heresy or innovation in faith) is more in faith than adapting new styles that don't affect faith. Examples of bid'ah are women leading prayers to a mixed audience, Trinity, seeking help from dead saints etc. Prophet Mohamed(pbuh) rode a camel because there were no cars during his time just as Jesus(pbuh) rode a donkey.
Dr. A .Ali jazak الله خيرًا Has immense and deep knowledge and Broad Understanding of the Deen Maybe he is second coming to imam Algzali and Imam Alsharawi
The topic is about bid'a and Paul diverted the discussion to music, which doesn't fall under the bid'a category to begin with, it's under halal or haram. Bid'a is innovation in religion. Like doing things the prophet didn't do which creeped into the religion by a matter of society habits.
Occam's razor: Just stick to what is established. Stay away from stuff that has even a shred of doubt. Allah may even reward you with extra if your intention is pure. Don't be that guy that does the mawlid (not saying it's a bid'ah but just an example) but oversleeps for Fajr. But if you do go down this route, do not bad mouth or judge folks that differ from you in this understanding.
Totally incorrect opening statement by the guest speaker from The Olive Institute. Rasool Allah did not say hold on to my Quran and Sunnah. They said Hold on to Quran and my Itra/family/Ahlulbayt(as). They are the best of guides on what the Sunnah of Rasool Allah(saw) is, and not some former idol worshippers.
As long as it is not forbidden in the Quran and Sahi Hadith and is not harmful ,it is likely okay. Muslims should concentrate on the essential practices of Islam.
The Bid'ah being disparaged by the salaf in the quotes provided is the blameworthy bid'ah which contradicts the Quran, the Sunnah, or unanimous agreement of the Muslims. Let us bring it back to the Hadith you quoted inshaAllah. Unfortunately, there are some people who misinterpret this sahih hadith related by Abu Dawud: "كل بدعة ضلالة" which means: "Most / Nearly all innovations are innovations of misguidance." Those who are misguided interpret the word (kul) as `every' and thus claim this hadith means: 'Every innovation is an innovation of misguidance'. Their claim is unfounded for two reasons. Linguistically, this hadith is similar to the hadith related by al-Bayhaqiyy: "كل عين زانية" which clearly does not mean: "Every eye gazes the look of the adulterer;" rather, it means "Most people are guilty of the forbidden look." The person blind since birth would surely not have the forbidden look, and it is known the Prophets would never commit such an abject sin. The word "كل” (kul) as used in both hadiths refers to `most,' although it can mean "every" it does not mean this in all cases. As a matter of fact, in the explanation of Sahih Muslim, an-Nawawiyy said: "The saying of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, is among the terms which are "عام مخصوص" (^am makhsus) i.e., a general statement giving a specific meaning; which is a known field in Islam, and the meaning of the hadith is "most innovations are innovations of misguidance." This field the"عام مخصوص" is seen in the Qur'an in Ayah 3 of Surat al-Ahqaf: [تدمر كل شىء] which means the wind Allah sent as punishment to the people of ^Ad demolished most [and not all] of the things. Here is the ayah in full: تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَىْء بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهَاٍمَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيم كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ِ Tudammiru kulla shay-in bi-amri rabbiha faasbahoo la yura illa masakinuhum kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeena Destroying all things [kulla shay-in] by commandment of its Lord And morning found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings. [Surah al-Ahqaf] Thus the dwellings were not destroyed although "all" [kulla shay-in] things had been destroyed. "All" [Kullu] here specifically refers to the lives of the unbelievers of Ad and their properties, but not their dwellings! So again, the interpretation of the term kullu "every" to mean "all-encompassing without exception" is incorrect. In arabic it may mean "nearly all" or "the vast majority" and this was the understanding of Imam Shafi'i and others. There is another example in Surah al-Naml (27:23) illustrating this fact..... So what is required is a harmonised understanding of the above quoted hadith from our Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with his following statement: Imam Muslim related, through the route of Jarir Ibn ^Abdullah, the Prophet said: "من سنَّ في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها وأجر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة، لا ينقص من أجورهم شىء ومن سنَّ فِى الإسلام سنة سيئة فعليه وزرها ووزر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة لا ينقص من أوزارهم شىء" "The one who innovates a good practice [sunnatun hasana] in Islam has its reward and a reward similar to those who follow him in it--until the Day of Judgment--without lessening their reward. The one who innovates a practice of misguidance would be sinful for it and has sins similar to those who follow him in it--until the Day of Judgment--without lessening their sins." How did the Ulema harmonise between these hadith? Imam Nawawi said in Sahih Muslim (6-21) "The Prophet's saying every innovation is a general-particular and it is a reference to most innovations. The linguists say, "Innovation is any act done without a previous pattern, and it is of five different kinds.'" Imam Nawawi also said in Tahzeeb al Asma' wal Sifaat, "Innovation in religious law is to originate anything which did not exist during the time of the Prophet, and it is divided into good and bad." He also said, "Al-muhdathat (pl. for muhdatha) is to originate something that has no roots in religious law. In the tradition of religious law it is called innovation, and if it has an origin within the religious law, then it is not innovation. Innovation in religious law is disagreeable, unlike in the language where everything that has been originated without a previous pattern is called innovation regardless of whether it is good or bad." Shaykh Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani, the commentator on Al Bukhari, said, "Anything that did not exist during the Prophet's time is called innovation, but some are good while others are not." Abu Na'eem, narrated from Ibrahim Al Junaid, said, "I heard Ash-Shafi'i saying, "Innovation is of two types; praiseworthy innovation and blameworthy innovation, and anything that disagrees with the Sunnah is blameworthy.'" Imam Albayhaqi narrated in Manaqib Ash-Shafi'i that Ash-Shafi'i said, "Innovations are of two types: that which contradicts the Qu'ran, the Sunnah, or unanimous agreement of the Muslims is a innovation of deception, while a good innovation does not contradict any of these things." Al `Izz bin Abdussalam said, at the end of his book, Al Qawa'id, "Innovation is divided into obligatory, forbidden, recommended, disagreeable and permissible, and the way to know which is which is to match it against the religious law." And Allah knows best.

Indeed, it's a healing for some because it has some benefits. But the ahkam is not based on benefit and harm rather it's based on what Allah revealed to us. Allah Himself said that alcohol has some benefits while categorically declaring it as haram. You can distinguish between the benefits and the ahkam in this manner.
Interestingly, the word is not in the Quran. There is nothing wrong with vocabulary, but one must be carefully as words can cause arguments or confusions (controversys etc), and sometimes worse causing divisions. As matter of the deen Allah has explained everything in the quran and the Deen was completed with the quran. Ignoring such a word is highly couraged.
Having nice carpets, decorative Masjid, using loud speakers for Azan etc. are not bi'dah. Bi'dah occurs in Ibadah, what Rasulullah SAW and his righteous companions didn't do but anybody is doing. For example, making milad, doing collective Du'aa after Fard prayers, celebrating Prophet's birthday, etc.

The Prophet ﷺ said:- “Every Bid’ah is misguidance.” [Sahīh Sunan Abī Dawood no. 4607]. The companions of the Prophet ﷺ said:- Abdullah ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنه said, “All bid’ah is misguidance even if the people see it as good.” [al-Laalikaai (126) Ibn Batta (205) Baihaqi in Madkhal ila Sunnan (191) ibn Nasr (70) with an authentic chain]. ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas رضي الله عنهما said: “Indeed the most hated of affairs with Allaah is innovation.” [al-Laalikaai (1/132) Abu Nu’aim in Hulyah (7/26) and Baghawi in Sharh Sunnah (1/216)]. Al-Shatbi in his Fatawa (p.180-181) in explaining this hadeeth says: “This is taken upon its general meaning without an exception in anything being made at all and there is nothing in it that is considered to be good.” If the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said there is no good Bid'ah, so there is no excuse for those who say there is. Of course we're talking about religious innovations, not worldy ones.

@UCfmWVk8_0BkOXYRK2VU0Bkw Is that so? Then why do Muslims ask if Television or Internet or Movies are haraam or Bidah or not??? 32:00 None of these things are mentioned in the Quran or Hadith or discussed by early scholars.
All mainstream Sunni Muslim scholars (e.g. Yasir Qadhi, Mufti Menk, etc.) will tell you that you should follow one of the 4 Madhabs of Islam. If the 4 Madhabs say in unison that wind and string musical instruments are prohibited, then Sunni Muslims should follow this advice without trying to argue as a Sunni Muslim that it is OK to use/listen to these musical instruments. I think most of the confusion comes in from the opinions of other (smaller) sects of Islam that are not mainstream Sunni; for example, Sufi and other such smaller (non-mainstream) sects of Islam. For mainstream Muslim Sunnis, the 4 Madhabs do clearly state that wind and string musical instruments are prohibited. I don’t think we, as average Muslim Sunni followers who are not scholars, have the authority to make our own individual fatwas on music to suit our lifestyles or for convenience. That’s one of the many purposes of the 4 Sunni Madhabs: to remind us of the red lines to stay inside.
Who decided carpets in a masjid and g flying in a plane or eating with a knife and a fork is your religion please stick with what Allah and his messenger gave you and don’t waist time and effort on things we’re not given because there is no rewards in it keep it simple don’t swing all over the place just to justify your position keep it simple akhi
That is so true. The Prophet's mosque was made of date palm tree trunks and leaves e.t.c Not fancy at all. Even though they had the capacity and know how to build grand mosque. They chose not to. What we see today in mosques are pure innovation and abomination. Some people today just go to mosques to take photos and video vlogging. Subhanallah.
Beautiful is that today, the whole life of Rasulullah SAW is available. He is the best example to follow. We please Allaah SWT, we have been categorically prescribe to follow Rasulullah SAW, that's enough. Why should anybody innovate anything in Ibadah!!!???
Islam is to ask God to guide the Muslim to the straight path,the path of His favored/blessed ones. in all aspects f his life. as in Al-Fatiha. Those are Ahlulbeit that we must praise them in our Salat else it will not be accepted. Allhuma Sally Ala Muhamad wa Ala AAl Muhamad.
The great Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said musical instruments are haram. And it is proven that most music is used by the devil and sickens the heart even if it has some benefit just like wine has some benefit.
This so called Scholar should learn something from Loon (a Rapper who left music after converting to Islam) rather than being deceptive and making Islam adjust to Devilish things
Bid'ah is something were establisherd alongside with its fatwa, without the fatwa are Neutral. The example of Mosque decorations has nothing fatwa in it, but sometimes another hadith indirectly applied so, like glorifying the house of Allah, and it become a culture even tho not in a details 🤔
What is a layman or layperson supposed to do ? @29.50. Sorry paul and Dr Ali, not everyone follows the 'four' schools of fiqh. The most common sense thing to do is to ask a scholar if there is a clearr nass injuction coming from the Qur'aan or an authentic saying of the Prophet[saw] if such and such a thing is lawful or haraam. if there is no nass at least ask if it contradicts the ethical standards set by the Qur'aan and sunnah and then use your intellect to come to a decision.
So, the four imams looked at the Quran and sunnah and made a conclusion, but you believe you’re somehow more pious and rational than them and will come to a better conclusion. You’re not a mujtahid
Typical of a reply from a jaheel. I was only quoting Ibn Hazm of the zaheeri school of law. No Muslim can be forced to accept any opinion if there is no nass to support it .
first you should define it. Bidaah is additional to the Religion. not to day today lives. you should first draw the line what is religion and what is cultural
This guy is confused. Quran + Sunnah is primary source. All scholars + madhabs derive from this same fountain. Then they do ijtihad and concensus. Paul please bring on someone with a clear cut concept Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza. He will clarify all your questions without confusing.
I adhere to listen to classical music, Schubert, Beethoven, Rachminoff and other few. I stopped listening to songs that persuade and fill one's head with haram(s): drugs, curse words, racism, drinking, forbidden relationships and other frowned upon acts 'universally'. Today's music industry is not music. Its digtized plague to the ears and cancer to the heart. I gave it up four years ago or so. or folk music songs, their cute. This is Adab Al Sama' in regards to music. from what i gathered by Sheikh Hamza Yusuf and Sayed Naqib Al Attaas.
Of course I respect it, but a beard is not a sine qua non of Islam. Faith is the most important issue today. Especially in the Middle East geography, beard is perceived as a requirement of religion. There seems to be such a perception for men's clothing and women's as well. the long dress is a tradition, the black veil is a tradition. Islam does not feed on traditions... vesselam...
Sahih bukhari, 2010 Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said, "I went out in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in Ramadan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b. Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night." Taraweeh was a bida' from umar. The prophet had said that non-compulsory prayers should be prayed individually.
Prophet Muhammad shallallahu alaihi wa sallam instructed us to follow the sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali), so following their sunnah (this applies only to their sunnah) is NOT considered as Bid'ah, but following other religious innovations performed by other than them is considered as Bid'ah. "Beware of the newly invented matters, for indeed they are astray. Whoever among you sees that, then he must stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Khulafa', cling to it with the molars." Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2676, Book 41, Hadith 32
Sahih Muslim 761 A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed one night in the mosque and people also prayed along with him. He then prayed on the following night and there were many persons. Then on the third or fourth night (many people) gathered there, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not come out to them (for leading the Tarawih prayer). When it was morning he said: I saw what you were doing, but I desisted to come to you (and lead the prayer) for I feared that this prayer might become obligatory for you. (He the narrator) said: It was the month of Ramadan.
@@wakemeup38 brother, all I did was point out a hadith in sahih bukhari, and your response is to attack a whole sect. What innovations have been made in shiism and what do you consider as shirk?
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ سَالِمًا، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ، لاَ يَظْلِمُهُ وَلاَ يُسْلِمُهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ، وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرُبَاتِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ". Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection .

A complete and comprehensive explanation by Ustadh Abdullah; did we expect anything less? 😊
From the comments below, it shows that there are several schools of thoughts about this concept of bidaah.. Each with their own arguments.. As for me, I follow my teachers embracing the differences/khilafiyah and refrain from accusing others of being outside of Islamic teachings.
Excellent conversation. Jazak Allah khair
The Bid'ah being disparaged by the salaf in the quotes provided is the blameworthy bid'ah which contradicts the Quran, the Sunnah, or unanimous agreement of the Muslims.
Let us bring it back to the Hadith you quoted inshaAllah.
Unfortunately, there are some people who misinterpret this sahih hadith related by Abu Dawud: "كل بدعة ضلالة"
which means:
"Most / Nearly all innovations are innovations of misguidance."
Those who are misguided interpret the word (kul) as `every' and thus claim this hadith means: 'Every innovation is an innovation of misguidance'.
Their claim is unfounded for two reasons.
Linguistically, this hadith is similar to the hadith related by al-Bayhaqiyy:
"كل عين زانية"
which clearly does not mean: "Every eye gazes the look of the adulterer;" rather, it means "Most people are guilty of the forbidden look."
The person blind since birth would surely not have the forbidden look, and it is known the Prophets would never commit such an abject sin.
The word "كل” (kul) as used in both hadiths refers to `most,' although it can mean "every" it does not mean this in all cases.
As a matter of fact, in the explanation of Sahih Muslim, an-Nawawiyy said:
"The saying of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, is among the terms which are "عام مخصوص" (^am makhsus) i.e., a general statement giving a specific meaning; which is a known field in Islam, and the meaning of the hadith is "most innovations are innovations of misguidance."
This field the"عام مخصوص" is seen in the Qur'an in Ayah 3 of Surat al-Ahqaf: [تدمر كل شىء] which means the wind Allah sent as punishment to the people of ^Ad demolished most [and not all] of the things.
Here is the ayah in full:
تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَىْء بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهَاٍمَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيم كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ِ
Tudammiru kulla shay-in bi-amri rabbiha faasbahoo la yura illa masakinuhum kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeena
Destroying all things [kulla shay-in] by commandment of its Lord
And morning found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings.
[Surah al-Ahqaf]
Thus the dwellings were not destroyed although "all" [kulla shay-in] things had been destroyed. "All" [Kullu] here specifically refers to the lives of the unbelievers of Ad and their properties, but not their dwellings!
So again, the interpretation of the term kullu "every" to mean "all-encompassing without exception" is incorrect.
In arabic it may mean "nearly all" or "the vast majority" and this was the understanding of Imam Shafi'i and others.
There is another example in Surah al-Naml (27:23) illustrating this fact.....
So what is required is a harmonised understanding of the above quoted hadith from our Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with his following statement:
Imam Muslim related, through the route of Jarir Ibn ^Abdullah, the Prophet said:
"من سنَّ في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها وأجر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة، لا ينقص من أجورهم شىء ومن سنَّ فِى الإسلام سنة سيئة فعليه وزرها ووزر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة لا ينقص من أوزارهم شىء"
"The one who innovates a good practice [sunnatun hasana] in Islam has its reward and a reward similar to those who follow him in it--until the Day of Judgment--without lessening their reward. The one who innovates a practice of misguidance would be sinful for it and has sins similar to those who follow him in it--until the Day of Judgment--without lessening their sins."
How did the Ulema harmonise between these hadith?
Imam Nawawi said in Sahih Muslim (6-21)
"The Prophet's saying every innovation is a general-particular and it is a reference to most innovations. The linguists say, "Innovation is any act done without a previous pattern, and it is of five different kinds.'" Imam Nawawi also said in Tahzeeb al Asma' wal Sifaat, "Innovation in religious law is to originate anything which did not exist during the time of the Prophet, and it is divided into good and bad." He also said, "Al-muhdathat (pl. for muhdatha) is to originate something that has no roots in religious law. In the tradition of religious law it is called innovation, and if it has an origin within the religious law, then it is not innovation. Innovation in religious law is disagreeable, unlike in the language where everything that has been originated without a previous pattern is called innovation regardless of whether it is good or bad."
Shaykh Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani, the commentator on Al Bukhari, said,
"Anything that did not exist during the Prophet's time is called innovation, but some are good while others are not."
Abu Na'eem, narrated from Ibrahim Al Junaid, said, "I heard Ash-Shafi'i saying,
"Innovation is of two types; praiseworthy innovation and blameworthy innovation, and anything that disagrees with the Sunnah is blameworthy.'"
Imam Albayhaqi narrated in Manaqib Ash-Shafi'i that Ash-Shafi'i said,
"Innovations are of two types: that which contradicts the Qu'ran, the Sunnah, or unanimous agreement of the Muslims is a innovation of deception, while a good innovation does not contradict any of these things."
Al `Izz bin Abdussalam said, at the end of his book, Al Qawa'id,
"Innovation is divided into obligatory, forbidden, recommended, disagreeable and permissible, and the way to know which is which is to match it against the religious law."
And Allah knows best.
Have you read a book called muslim or mushrek ?
@@losrajvosa0078 no
@freepalestine3383 Narrated Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected."
That is exactly our concept on Bidah. We believe any Bidah which is not in harmony with the principles of religion only that is rejected but other is not.
Fanatics quote: "The best of the speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best of the guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error." [Sahih Muslim # 1885]
And hadith in Sunnan Nasai’i adds: … and every going astray is in the Fire.' [Sunnan Nasai’i Vol. 2, Book 19, Hadith 1579]
Salafis and fanatics use these hadiths to misguide people that every innovation is evil. If we take these hadiths on face value then there will be contradiction in Qur’an and Sunnah and that is impossible. This is why great scholars like Ibn Hajr al-Haythami (Rahimahullah) explained these hadiths as:
وفي الحديث "كل بدْعة ضلالة وكل ضلالة في النار" وهو محمول على المحرمة لا غي
Translation: That which is narrated in Hadith that “All innovations are evil and all evil are in hell fire.” This hadith will be applied for Bidat al Muhrima (i.e. category of haram innovations only) not others.[Al Haythami in Fatawa al Hadithiyyah, Volume No.1 Page No. 109, Published by Dar ul Fikr, Beirut, Lebanon
This hadith is to be understood from another hadith which states:
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنْ سَنَّ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أَوْزَارِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا
It was narrated that Abu Juhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever introduces a good practice that is followed after him, will have a reward for that and the equivalent of their reward... [Sunnan Ibn Majah Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 207. Salafis declared this hadith as Sahih in Dar us Salam version. It is also part of a longer hadith in Sahih Muslim #2219 & 6455]
While explaining this hadith Imam an-Nawawi the best Sharih of Sahih Muslim said:
قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( من سن في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها ) إلى آخره ، فيه : الحث على الابتداء بالخيرات وسن السنن الحسنات ، والتحذير من اختراع الأباطيل والمستقبحات ، وسبب هذا الكلام في هذا الحديث أنه قال في أوله : ( فجاء رجل بصرة كادت كفه تعجز عنها ، فتتابع الناس ) وكان الفضل العظيم للبادي بهذا الخير ، والفاتح لباب هذا الإحسان . وفي هذا الحديث تخصيص قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : كل محدثة بدعة وكل بدعة ضلالة ، وأن المراد به المحدثات الباطلة والبدع المذمومة ، وقد سبق بيان هذا في كتاب صلاة الجمعة ، وذكرنا هناك أن البدع خمسة أقسام : واجبة ومندوبة ومحرمة ومكروهة ومباحة .
Translation: The saying of Prophet - Peace be upon him that ('Whoever introduces a good practice will have a reward for that) till end of hadith. “IN THIS HADITH IT HAS BEEN STRESSED UPON TO INTRODUCE GOOD ACTIONS… In this hadith “TAKHSIS HAS BEEN MADE OVER THE HADITH WHICH STATES: EVERY INNOVATION IS BIDAH AND EVERY BIDAH IS MISGUIDANCE. (The latter) hadith refers (only) to Batil and blameworthy innovations. This has been mentioned before in regards to Salat ul Jummah where we mentioned “FIVE CATEGORIES OF BIDAH I.E. 1. WAJIB, 2. MANDUB, 3. HARAM, 4. MAKRUH, 5. AND MUBAH” [Sharh Sahih Muslim by Imam an-Nawawi under Hadith # 2219]
@@fifafreebies8941 unfortunately for you, there are MANY other Hadiths which talks about Bid'ah or innovation which clearly showed that any kind of Bid'ah is detestable and REJECTED by Allah.
Aishah narrated that "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever INNOVATES something in this matter of ours (i.e. Islam) that is not part of it, will have it REJECTED."
Sunan Ibn Majah 14, Introduction, Hadith 14
'Asim reported: "I asked Anas b. Malik whether Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had declared Medina as sacred. He said: Yes. (the area) between so and so. He who made any innovation in it, and further said to me: It is something serious to make any innovation in it (and he who does it) there is upon him the curse of Allah, and that of the angels and of all the people, Allah WILL NOT ACCEPT from him on the Day of Resurrection either obligatory acts or the surpererogatory acts. Ibn Anas said: Or he accommodates an innovator."
Sahih Muslim 1366, Book 15, Hadith 527
Jabir reported God’s messenger as saying, “To proceed: The best discourse is God’s Book, the best guidance is that given by Muhammad, and the worst things are those which are novelties. Every innovation is error.” Muslim transmitted it.
Mishkat al-Masabih 141, Book 1, Hadith 134
Narrated Qays Ibn Abbad: "If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an INNOVATION or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is CURSED by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people."
Sunan Abi Dawud 4530, Book 41, Hadith 37
Sa’d bin Tariq said: “I said to my father: ‘O my father! You prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and behind Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman, and behind ‘Ali here in Kufah for about five years. Did they recite Qunut in Fajr?’ He said: ‘O my son! That is an INNOVATION."
Sunan Ibn Majah 1241, Book 5, Hadith 439
On the authority of the mother of the faithful, Aisha (ra), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “He who innovates something in this matter of ours (i.e., Islam) that is not of it will have it REJECTED (by Allah).”
Reference : Hadith 5, 40 Hadith an-Nawawi
What a ridiculous explanation. كل Kullu means all and thats all. Translating it as most or many is deceiving the people who don't know arabic. And most of what you mentioned is mental gymnastics to allow bid'ah while there are plenty hadith of the Prophet warning against it. The Maliki scholars have written books warning against bid'ah like al i'tisaam by Imam Shatibi. It is not known of the Major 4 imams to be delving themselves into bid'ah. The Prophet sallalahu alaihi wa sallam has been sent with the clearest speech so if he says all that means all and it needs no explanation. Keep the door to bid'ah tight shut we already have the sunnah alhamdulillah there is enough worship to be done according to the sunnah so there is no need to add anything.
People will eternily disagree on what is a good and bad bid'ah so the best way is to do as scholars said to keep that door shut by saying every bidah is misguidance as the Prophet said.
We love you Uncle Paul for the sake of Allah almighty! May Allah bless you and all your guests. Aameen!
Is music halal or haram ?
Dr Abdullah Ali's answers:
It is haram in 4 school of thoughts ( 4 mazhabs ) but many many years later there are some scholars whom have different openions.
My question is if 4 school of thoughts have forbidden music then why we need an openion !!!???
People with week imaan are always searching for excuses.
The madhhab don't dictate law.
Brother, you need know the difference between Usul and Furu' matters in Fiqh. Music never put under the discussion of Usul matters; i.e. it's under Furu' matters. Mas'alah Furu'iyyah do have Murunah (flexibity) in changes in final rulings, reasons, ways of deducing, etc. as discussed in al-Maqasid al-Syar'iyyah.
Cool info: Did you know that coffee was deem Haram in early days it was introduced to Islamic world? So why now there's no Islamic scholar issue the impermissibility of drinking coffee, as they did long time ago?
Good introduction on the topic bro Paul. A part 2 should continue by inviting the esteemed scholar Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad to further elaborate on the 'Big Bad Biddah'!.

Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said "Both legal and illegal things are obvious, and in between them are (suspicious) doubtful matters. So whoever forsakes those doubtful things lest he may commit a sin, will definitely avoid what is clearly illegal; and whoever indulges in these (suspicious) doubtful things bravely, is likely to commit what is clearly illegal. Sins are Allah's Hima (i.e. private pasture) and whoever pastures (his sheep) near it, is likely to get in it at any moment." (Sahih al-Bukhari 2051).

Concept of Bid'at in Ahadees e Rasool ﷺ and the different between Bid'at e Hasana and Saiya:
مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَأَجْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهَا وَوِزْرُ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْءٌ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who sets a good precedent in Islam, there is a reward for him for this (act of goodness) and reward of that also who acted according to it subsequently, without any deduction from their rewards; and he who sets in Islam an evil precedent, there is upon him the burden of that, and the burden of him also who acted upon it subsequently, without any deduction from their burden.

Sahih Muslim: 2351 (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia)
Word San'na (سَنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً) was used which means create or invent. The word Sunnat here doesn't mean Sunnat e Rasool ﷺ, it means a way (Tariqa)
Imam Nawawi (رحمة الله عليه) wrote in his Shara e Sahih Muslim (Page 327) for Sahih Muslim (2351) that it is (Mukhasis) of Sunnan e Abi Dawood (4607) which says "That every new way is Bid'at"
He says that it means that every new way (Bid'at) that is Evil or harmful is not correct but if the (Bid'at) is beneficial for Ummah then it is correct in the lights of Sahih Muslim (2351)
He also says that there are 5 types of Bid'ats:
1:Muharrama
2:Wajiba
3:Mandoba
4:Mustahab
5:Mubha
The daughter of Al-Harith used to say, It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib. When they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two rak`at (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two rak`at and then said, Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception. (He then recited the poetic verse):-- I being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body Then the son of Al Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-rak`at prayer (before being killed). (Incomplete)
Sahih Bukhari: 3405 (Bid'at e Hasana) (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia)
Hazrat Khubaib (رضی اللہ عنہ) did Bid'at (invented a new way) and before him no one did this in Islam. Remember, it also happened in the life time of Rasool Allah ﷺ and he didn't objected but praised him a he did in Sahih Muslim (2351)
قَالَ عُمَرُ نِعْمَ الْبِدْعَةُ هَذِهِ، وَالَّتِي يَنَامُونَ عَنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ. يُرِيدُ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ أَوَّلَهُ.(Incomplete)
I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night.

Hazart Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) himself called it an excellent Bid'at.
Hazrat Abdul Ibn e Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) said First call to prayer (Azaan) of Jummah is Bid'at which was invented in Hazrat Usman (رضی اللہ عنہ)'s period.
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (Jild 2 Page 48)
Abū Bakr told me that ‘Umar had come to him and drawn attention to the extensive slaughter among Qur’ān readers at the battle of al- Yamāma, saying he was afraid that if readers continued to be killed in large numbers at other battles a large amount of the Qur’ān would be lost, and that he therefore thought he should give command that the Qur’ān be collected. He had asked. ‘Umar how he could do a thing which God’s messenger had not done, and ‘Umar, swearing by God that this was best, had kept at him till God made him inclined to do that, and he came to hold ‘Umar’s opinion about the matter. Zaid told how Abū Bakr said to him, “You are an intelligent young man whom we do not suspect and you have been writing down the revelation which came to God’s messenger, so search for the Qur’ān and collect it,
Mishkat Al-Masabih: 2220 (Also in Bukhari) (Bid'at e Hasana) (Read the full Hadees for complete Waqia)
One can argue that these Ahadees mentioned above are about Khulafa e Rashideen (رضي الله عنهم) and Rasool Allah ﷺ said that you should follow my Sunnat and Sunnat of my Khulafa e Rashideen (رضي الله عنهم) but this argument can easily be debunked by these ahadees since you can clearly see the words used by Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ to describe their acts and how Syedana Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) use the word bid'at for Taraweeh (which was present in time on Rasool Allahﷺ) and Syedana Abu Bakr (رضی اللہ عنہ) was reluctant to do an act that is new to Islam until he was convinced by Hazrat Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ).
Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Masood (رضي الله عنه) said: If Muslims believe anything to be good for them, then it is also good in the eyes of Allah and If Muslims believe anything is bad for them, then it is also bad in the eyes of Allah. (He was referring to Ijma e Ummat on Syedana Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) being selected as Khalifa)
Hakim: 4465 (Sahih)
So the Narrative which is created by the people (Ghair Muqalid Ullama) by calling everything a bid'at and that it is not in Islam, can't explain the acts done in the Ahadees above without calling Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ wrong (MazAllah). Also, they celebrate the Day of Syedana Umar and Abu Bakr and other Ashaab e Rasool ﷺ with the niyat of Sawab which clearly is a Bid'at and they also do Ijtemats on Weekly, Monthly and Annually bases which are Bid'at too. So if their innovations (Bid'ats) are created for the benefit of Deen, then these act can't even be compared to the Day Rasool Allah ﷺ came into this world or what Sahaba (رضي الله عنهم) did for the deen.
May Allah keep us all on aqeeda e haq and guide us all to right path. Ameen
Unfortunately for you, there are MANY other Hadiths which talks about Bid'ah or innovation which clearly showed that any kind of Bid'ah is detestable and REJECTED by Allah.
Aishah narrated that "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever INNOVATES something in this matter of ours (i.e. Islam) that is not part of it, will have it REJECTED."
Sunan Ibn Majah 14, Introduction, Hadith 14
'Asim reported: "I asked Anas b. Malik whether Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had declared Medina as sacred. He said: Yes. (the area) between so and so. He who made any innovation in it, and further said to me: It is something serious to make any innovation in it (and he who does it) there is upon him the curse of Allah, and that of the angels and of all the people, Allah WILL NOT ACCEPT from him on the Day of Resurrection either obligatory acts or the surpererogatory acts. Ibn Anas said: Or he accommodates an innovator."
Sahih Muslim 1366, Book 15, Hadith 527
Jabir reported God’s messenger as saying, “To proceed: The best discourse is God’s Book, the best guidance is that given by Muhammad, and the worst things are those which are novelties. Every innovation is error.” Muslim transmitted it.
Mishkat al-Masabih 141, Book 1, Hadith 134
Narrated Qays Ibn Abbad: "If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an INNOVATION or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is CURSED by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people."
Sunan Abi Dawud 4530, Book 41, Hadith 37
Sa’d bin Tariq said: “I said to my father: ‘O my father! You prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and behind Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman, and behind ‘Ali here in Kufah for about five years. Did they recite Qunut in Fajr?’ He said: ‘O my son! That is an INNOVATION."
Sunan Ibn Majah 1241, Book 5, Hadith 439
On the authority of the mother of the faithful, Aisha (ra), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “He who innovates something in this matter of ours (i.e., Islam) that is not of it will have it REJECTED (by Allah).”

Obviously Christianity is a religion of bid'aah/innovation, so is modern 'Judaism'. Is Judaism the faith of Prophet Moses (upon him be peace)? Of course not, and never.
Christianity is not a religion. Bible never talked about any religion.
Jesus is not about religion he is about relationship

A religion in the sense of believing in something. Atheism is also a religion, a belief that GOD never exist. Christian is a belief in the Annointed one (Jesus is the Annointed one/Isa Al Masih) but had been misconstruted and had been spun into paganism by Saul/Paul of Tarsus, the Hellenistic-'jew'.
In history, as Abdullah Ibn Saba' (The Black Jew of Yemen) the maker of Shi'ism, so was Paul of Tarsus who spun a sect of Judaism into Christianity to what it is then and now.
This subject certainly stirs the emotions of Muslim's..... Prophet pbuh had the religion perfected by Allah subhanatala before he passed away....generally the practices of the people of Madinah for the first 3 generations are accepted as commendable and adherence to these practices is recommended..... Imam Malik (R.a) is a good scholar to follow in regards to knowledge and practices of the people of Madinah....
Jabir ibn Abd Allah narrated "...The Prophet said: He who introduced some good (precedent) practice in Islam which was followed after him (by people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who introduced some evil practice in Islam which had been followed subsequently (by others), he would be required to bear the burden like that of one who followed this (evil practice) without theirs being diminished in any respect.

How Islam Saved Western Civilization , The Austin school 🌼 watch on youtube , Paul should make an interview with Dr Roy 👍
👍 Agree
I was looking forward to hear what Dr Abdullah Hamid Ali got to say about whether celebrating our Prophet's birthday, and similar topics such as reading the Surah Yassin or part/whole Qur'an itself and presenting the blessings of it to our loved ones who have passed away, are considered as bida'ah. Unfortunately these were not discussed.
If you understand the whole discussion, you do not need every example to be ecplained
A very important topic. Jazakallah brother Paul.

Jazak Allah Khair, Paul! Barak Allah Feek
Salams brother Paul :) another very important topic that is a point of contention between Muslims.
I heard alot of what was said but I never heard the outlining of the two orthodox approaches and their founders because Imam Shafi رحمه الله is the first one to split bidah according to the 5 legal classifications of Waajib, mandoob, mubah, makrooh, Haram.
Imam As-Shaatibi is the one who really put the other school of thought in the map in his book الاعتصام which is followed by modern day salafis and Deobandis and Ikhwaanis and other affiliated groups.
As for Music then My Iraqi Sheikh from leeds Abullahi bin Yusuf Al-Judai has written a masterpiece on music where he proves that not all music is haram and that the original status of sounds is they are lawful. He discusses the evidence of those who claim they are haram! However he does clearly say that when music is used to fuel haram gatherings where drug taking and illicit behaviour is promoted. The conclusion on bidah is that it is an issue differed upon and so Muslims need to be tolerant inshallah:)
this is very significant topic... many thanks Brother Paul...
There should be no big controversy about the classification of innovations, as it is the main opinion (Mu'tamad) of 3 madhabs (in the hanbali madhab I have not been able to do enough research to say anything about it).
*It should be noted that although there is a discussion about this in the Maliki Madhab, this is the main opinion. This can be seen from the commentaries and super-commentaries on the Mukhtasar Khalil and from the connection with the Nawāzil works.
Small excerpt of the understanding of the Bid'a in the respective Madhab.
Shafi’i Madhab:
Text taken from the book Ḥusn al - Maqṣid fī ʿAmal al - Mawlid of al - Imām al - Ḥāfiẓ Ǧalāl ad - Dīn as - Suyūṭī:
Imām an-Nawawī may Allāh have mercy on him! - said in his work Tahḏīb al-asmāʾ wa-l-luġāt:
The innovation as a term of religious sciences is all that was introduced after it was not present at the time of Allāh's Messenger.
Similarly, Šayḫ ʿIzz ad-Dīn b. ʿAbd as-Salām says in his Qawāʿid:
The innovation may be necessary, forbidden, recommended, disliked, and permitted.
He then went on to say:
And in order to determine which type of innovation it is in each case, we examine it in the light of the religious law. If it falls under the necessities, it is itself necessary. If it falls under the forbidden, it is itself forbidden. Likewise, if it falls under the provisions of the recommended, it is recommended; and similarly, if it falls under the provisions of the prohibited, it is prohibited.
For each of these categories he gave five examples. He then went on to comment on the recommended innovations:
Some examples of the recommended innovations are the formation of brotherhoods, the establishment of schools, and any other benefit that was not practiced in the early days of Islam. For example, holding tarāwīḥ-prayer, treatises on the subtleties of taṣawwuf or dialectics, as well as holding meetings in which certain issues are discussed out on the condition that hereby only after pleasing Allāh is sought.
In his work Manāqib aš - Šafiʿī, al-Bayhaqī also reported on the Imām aš - Šāfiʿī - may Allāh have mercy on him! - On the basis of his chain of transmission on this following:
The innovations are of two kinds: the first kind are those innovations that contradict the Qur'an, the Sunnah, a tradition, or the consensus of the Islamic community. This type of innovation is a heresy. The second type are those that do not contradict any of the mentioned fundamentals, and such innovations are not to be blamed. For even ʿUmar may Allāh be pleased with him! - said in Ramadan: "What an excellent innovation this is! By this he meant that it was a practice that had not been done before, but it did not contradict anything that already existed.
Maliki Madhab:
Al Wansharisy رضي الله عنه (in his Al - Mi'iyaar)
الشيخ أحمد بن يحيى الونشريسي المالكي في كتاب المعيار المعرب (ج1/357-358) ما نصه: وأصحابنا وإن اتفقوا على إنكار البدع في الجملة فالتحقيق الحق عندهم أنها خمسة أقسام، ثم ذكر الأقسام الخمسة وأمثلة على كل قسم ثم قال: فالحق في البدعة إذا عُرضت أن تعرض على قواعد الشرع فأي القواعد اقتضتها ألحقت بـها، وبعد وقوفك على هذا التحصيل والتأصيل لا تشك أن قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم (كل بدعة ضلالة)، من العام المخصوص كما صرح به الأئمة رضوان الله عليهم.
Imam Hattab Al-Maliki رضي الله عنه
الحطاب المالكي في مواهب الجليل ج 2ص 9: وقال السخاوي في القول البديع: أحدث المؤذنون الصلاة والسلام على رسول اللـه عقب الأذان للفرائض الخمس إلا الصبح والجمعة فإنـهم يقدمون ذلك قبل الأذان، وإلا المغرب فلا يفعلونه لضيق وقتها، وكان ابتداء حدوثه في أيام الناصر صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب وبأمره، وذكر بعضهم أن أمر الصلاح ابن أيوب بذلك كان في أذان العشاء ليلة الجمعة، ثم إن بعض الفقراء زعم أنه رأى رسول اللـه وأمره أن يقول للمحتسب أن يأمر المؤذنين أن يصلوا عليه عقب كل أذان فسر المحتسب بـهذه الرؤيا فأمر بذلك واستمر إلى يومنا هذا. وقد اختلف في ذلك هل هو مستحب أو مكروه أو بدعة أو مشروع؟ واستدل للأول بقوله (وافعلوا الخير) ومعلوم أن الصلاة والسلام من أجل القرب لا سيما وقد تواترت الأخبار على الحث على ذلك مع ما جاء في فضل الدعاء عقبه والثلث الأخير وقرب الفجر. والصواب أنه بدعة حسنة وفاعله بحسب نيته.
Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ghumari رضي الله عنه:
أبو الفضل عبد الله الصديق الغماري في كتابه إتقان الصنعة ص/14: يعلم مما سبق أن العلماء متفقون على انقسام البدعة إلى محمودة ومذمومة وأن عمر رضى الله عنه أول من نطق بذلك ومتفقون على أن قول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم (كل بدعة ضلالة) عام مخصوص ولم يشذ عن هذا الاتفاق إلا الشاطبي صاحب الاعتصام فإنه أنكر هذا الانقسام.
Imam Al-Qurtubi Al-Maliki رضي الله عنه mentions in his Tafsir to verse 117 of the Suratul Baqara also the innovations that are permitted and that do not violate the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
Ibn Al-Arabi Al-Maliki رضي الله عنه see his Sharh of the Sunan of Tirmidhi to the athar of Umar ibnul Khattab.وقال الحافظ ابن العربي في شرحه على سنن الإمام الترمذي عند الكلام على حديث «إياكم ومحدثات الأمور» [5] ، وقال عمر نعمت البدعة وإنما يذم من البدع ما خالف السنة ويذم من المحدثات ما دعا إلى ضلالة. ليست البدعة والمحدَث مذمومين للفظ بدعة ومحدث ولا معنييهما، وإنما يذم من البدعة ما يخالف السنة ويذم من المحدثات ما دعا إلى الضلالة
Hanafi madhab:
See: Al-Imam Badruddeen Al-Ayni says in his commentary on Saheeh al-Bukhari called Umdat Al-Qaari (11/120), Al-Imam Ibn Abideen says in his Radd Al-Mukhtaar (1/375), Imam Mullah Ali Qari in Mirqat al Mifatih Sharah Mishkaat al Misabih vol. 1, p. 216 and Imam Murtaza al-Zubaidi in Taaj al-Urus, p. 271, vol. 5
(The pages may differ slightly depending on the publisher and publication date)
In Islam the Law-giver is Allah Alone.
“The Hukm (Legislating, Commands, Judgment) is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him, that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not.” [Qur’an Chapter 12: 40]
Imam al-Baghawi (died 509AH) commented on Quran Chapter 12: 40 in Tafsir ul-Baghawi, Vol2, Pg. 427, saying, “Indeed the (Right of) ruling, commanding and prohibiting is for none but Allah”
“…and He makes none to share in His Judgment and His Rule.” [Quran, Surah, 18:26]
Imam at-Tabari (died 311AH) explained this verse in Tafsir ut-Tabari, Vol 8, Page 212, saying, “Allāh will never let His creation be a partner in His ruling and judgment. He is indeed the only One Who rules (legislates) and judges, and He manages them (the creations) in whatever way He wills” The following verses show the Shirk of worshiping others besides Allāh in His Judgment and Legislation and there is absolutely no difference between the one who prostrate to idols and the one who commit Shirk with Allāh in His Judgment and Legislation. Both are Mushriks (polytheists).
Exactly! 30:52
This argument completely debunk those who say the ignorant individual should rely solely on the Qur'an and hadiths to do their Qiyas themselves, instead of relying on the Chain of Tranmissions of knowledge from scholars to scholars over the centuries right up to our Rassulullah Swalalahu Alayhi Was Salaam.
This kind of behaviour aligns with the idea of the human being a god and can decide for himself or herself using Shaykh Google resulting with many Muslims doing or saying things that throw them completely out of the fold of Islam without even knowing.
Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.'
Are you so sure he meant bidah in its istilaahi sense? Seems like he intended its lughawi meaning as evidences by the fact that there was already the precedent set by the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم for praying taraweeh in congregation. He صلى الله عليه وسلم only stopped because he feared it would become obligatory.
Who was Umar that he felt able to introduce change to the religion of Rasool Allah(saw)?
@@shukeelc5177Omar is the man who the Prophet ﷺ said that Allah has placed haqq on his tongue and in his heart. He is also the person who the Prophet ﷺ said, if there were to be another prophet after him, it would be Omar.

@@GharibBFulanImam Shafi, who is from the salaf, has said that there is good Bid’ah and bad Bid’ah. The idea of linguistical Bid’ah is something that the Salaf and early scholars have never referred to, rather it’s a new term that has risen in modern Salafi movement

Bidaah is worshiping Allah following other than Quran and Sunnah according to the understanding of the early muslims
"What is forbidden, do not do it. What is instructed, do your best to fulfill it"
That is the simple instructions. God leave some ambiguity in our life decisions for us to grow. With that, we can learn from ourselves or from each other some of His Wisdom behind His Command.
Do everything for God, hoping guidance and direction for whatever we do. Insyaallah, God will preserve you from being astray.
It’s simple until you get stuck trying to figure out what Hadith are true or false. If Hadith narrations were reliable, you wouldn’t have so many differences in fiqh amongst the madhabs

If they sincere in finding the best cow in town and ask for god guidance. They would arrived to the same cow.
Don't fret about ambiguous matter to much. If you're in a conflict, learn the best you could and came to your conclusion. Then rely upon God to guide you. If you realise its wrong, then repent. Then are you free from the blame.
That is the whole purpose if you could understand. To always trust and rely upon God after doing your best. Cause you are not the planner nor the owner of any parts of his Kingdom
@@B1ackC3t It’s different when you have a Prophet living in your time. We are living 1400+ years after Rasullallah (saw) who left us a complete religion. Except we have no record of his hundreds of khutbahs and have to sift through thousands of fabricated Hadith to uncover a few nuggets of truth to develop our fiqh. If Allah wanted us to just ‘guess’ how to live our lives, he wouldn’t have sent Prophets to guide us. But we have inherited so much confusion that nobody knows what is true Islam and what is not. That’s why you have to say what you said, because you have no other choice.
@@syed61475 Then i would stand beside the non believers and say, why God speak through a messenger and not directly to every one of us? This will eliminate the risk of having misinformation and fabrication.
Rather, i emphasize my point that our purposes in this life is for us to grow. As a character who strive to be the best of what he was blessed.
Im not telling that we randomly guess and take any information and immediately came to the conclusion, I mentioned with your utterly best efforts on seeking the conclusion, then your rely upon God.
That is your qada, that is your qadar at that time. Perhaps god will guide or test you further in time if you are consistent in your efforts.

@@B1ackC3t Then the completed Islam has not been transmitted to us, unfortunately. Since sooo much is lost. Would you agree?

The Quran was compiled together as a book and the each Surah was put in place as we see today. Is this a bidah?
@@enz23Truth No it's definitely not
@@enz23Truth Because nothing is added to the Qur'an, for example all the ayas and the suras are there as revealed to the prophet Muhammad pbah
The first adhan of jummah was added by sayyidina uthman ( radi Allahu anhu) which is part of deen and ibn umar ( radi Allahu anhu) called it bidah. If it's bidah then it's a bidah hasanah.
@@LITTLE-ROCK
At the time of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), there was one adhaan, with the iqaamah. When the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) came out to deliver the khutbah and lead the prayer, the mu’adhdhin gave the adhaan, then the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) delivered the two khutbahs, then the iqaamah would be given. This is what is known and this is what is narrated in the books of Sunnah, as the questioner says, and it is something well-known to people of knowledge and faith.
But then the people’s numbers in Madinah increased at the time of the Rightly Guided Caliph ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allah be pleased with him), so he decided to add the third adhaan. It is called the first adhaan, and is given to alert the people to the fact that this day is Friday, so that they may prepare themselves and hasten to the prayer before the regular adhaan that is given after the sun has passed the meridian. The Sahaabah followed him in that at his time, such as ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan ibn ‘Awf, one of the ten (who were promised Paradise), az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwaam, who was also one of the ten, Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydullah, and other senior Sahaabah. And this is how the Muslims started to do it in most regions, following the action of the Rightly Guided Caliph, ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allah be pleased with him); he was followed in that by the Rightly Guided Caliph ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and the rest of the Sahaabah.
The point is that this happened during the caliphate of ‘Uthmaan and subsequently, and it has remained the practice of most of the Muslims throughout the regions and throughout the centuries until the present day, following the precedent that was set by ‘Uthmaan (may Allah be pleased with him), on the basis of his ijtihaad and sincerity towards the Muslims. And there is nothing wrong with that, because the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the Rightly Guided Caliphs; hold fast to it.” He (‘Uthmaan) was one of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the interest served by that is quite clear. Hence this was adopted by Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa‘ah, and they did not see anything wrong with it, because it was part of the practice of the Rightly Guided Caliphs ‘Uthmaan and ‘Ali and those of the Sahaabah who were present at that time (may Allah be pleased with them all).

best way to explain the music problem = is there's good music and there's bad music
Bingo.
What would you consider "good music"?
Unfortunately this discussion failed to tackle a huge topic that affects contemporary Muslims and impacts their lives.
The discussion skirts around the real issue by taking specific matters like music and looking at their shari' rulings.
It would have been of much more benefit to tackle the issue of bid'ah head on in an attempt to elucidate upon the inra-Sunni fracture and the strength/weaknesses of both parties.
I can recommend Shaykh Mokhtar Moghrawi for this discussion. He is an Usūlu scholar who has a lot of knowledge in this area.
Everything we do in life, depends on our niyyah or intentions, if in the end the intention is to please Allah SWT, leave it to Allah SWT to judge and we should not easily passes judgements and some of these Bida'ah accusers are very hostiles in their approach..
But as muslim,we must make sure that our niyyah/intention to do certain ibadah based on authentic hadith/ Al-Quran
We are vicegerents over creation (protectors of life and earth) not masters; Allah is the "...Master of all the worlds..." over creation.
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 The ability to reason came with the dawn of self-consciousness and reflection. Homo Sapiens were given a stronger rational capacity or the capacity to reason and intuit the existence of Allah. With that came the power to choose between what is constructive versus what is destructive. With that came good and bad actions on Earth. Thus, the birth of morality and ethics.
Before that, there was no good or bad. There were just animals driven by instinct. No animal would have invented fire and eventually industrialization. No animal would have created materialism and thus greed as a way of life, i.e., consumerism. So, with rational capacity and noetic potential homo sapiens were made responsible and were thus instantaneously authorized vicegerents on Earth or Allah's Zoo Keepers. The power to choose to make their lives and all other animals' lives good, by keeping the Earth's ecosystems in harmony and fit for habitation. Believe me, on a cosmic scale, zoo keeper is not a high-status position. For example, the angels are not material creatures and so do not work with animals in the flesh.
Music is generally discussed, whether it's halal or haraam. Not whether it's a bid'ah or not.
A bud'ah is something when it's considered as part of islam that is used to come closer to Allah. For example, congregational dua.
Many authentic hadeeths where the Messenger forbade to decorate the quran and Masjids. He also forbade the exaggeration of spending on the building i.e. expensive unused chandeliers.
May Allah Accept your works, and make it a means of acceptance and Guidance for the Ummah!
I tend to think that our Prophet (PBUH) warned us about innovation "in religion". This means adding another pillar to the five pillars of Islam, removing a pillar from the five pillars, or changing a pillar to deviate from the Sunnah :)
Jazakh'Allahu khair brother Paul for the content.
Some folks are clearly commenting without having watched the entire video
Sigh
Bro Abdullah is right that "bid'ah(heresy or innovation in faith) is more in faith than adapting new styles that don't affect faith. Examples of bid'ah are women leading prayers to a mixed audience, Trinity, seeking help from dead saints etc. Prophet Mohamed(pbuh) rode a camel because there were no cars during his time just as Jesus(pbuh) rode a donkey.
Dr. A .Ali jazak الله خيرًا
Has immense and deep knowledge and Broad Understanding of the Deen
Maybe he is second coming to imam Algzali and Imam Alsharawi
The discussion shouldn't be finding excuses for people who doesn't want to practice their religion strictly as required by Allah
The topic is about bid'a and Paul diverted the discussion to music, which doesn't fall under the bid'a category to begin with, it's under halal or haram. Bid'a is innovation in religion. Like doing things the prophet didn't do which creeped into the religion by a matter of society habits.
We're discussing variables in Calculas Paul !!!
جزاک اللہ خیر
He didnt give reference of Umar who said he was introducing a good Bidha when formalizing congregational Taraweeh prayers.
Islam is what the qur"an and Sunnah stated during prophet lifetime and during rightly guided Khulafa.
Imagine if Muslims put the efforts they put in discussing trivial issues in science and technology
Occam's razor: Just stick to what is established. Stay away from stuff that has even a shred of doubt. Allah may even reward you with extra if your intention is pure. Don't be that guy that does the mawlid (not saying it's a bid'ah but just an example) but oversleeps for Fajr. But if you do go down this route, do not bad mouth or judge folks that differ from you in this understanding.
Another great lecture.
Salam Brother. Would really like to see Shekh Dr. Yasir Qadhi. Would be an exciting conversation between you and Shekh Yasir Qadhi
Totally incorrect opening statement by the guest speaker from The Olive Institute. Rasool Allah did not say hold on to my Quran and Sunnah. They said Hold on to Quran and my Itra/family/Ahlulbayt(as). They are the best of guides on what the Sunnah of Rasool Allah(saw) is, and not some former idol worshippers.
As long as it is not forbidden in the Quran and Sahi Hadith and is not harmful ,it is likely okay. Muslims should concentrate on the essential practices of Islam.
Bida in religion is not allowed, meaning Innovation in Islam and bidah indication in the duniya is allowed
The Bid'ah being disparaged by the salaf in the quotes provided is the blameworthy bid'ah which contradicts the Quran, the Sunnah, or unanimous agreement of the Muslims.
Let us bring it back to the Hadith you quoted inshaAllah.
Unfortunately, there are some people who misinterpret this sahih hadith related by Abu Dawud: "كل بدعة ضلالة"
which means:
"Most / Nearly all innovations are innovations of misguidance."
Those who are misguided interpret the word (kul) as `every' and thus claim this hadith means: 'Every innovation is an innovation of misguidance'.
Their claim is unfounded for two reasons.
Linguistically, this hadith is similar to the hadith related by al-Bayhaqiyy:
"كل عين زانية"
which clearly does not mean: "Every eye gazes the look of the adulterer;" rather, it means "Most people are guilty of the forbidden look."
The person blind since birth would surely not have the forbidden look, and it is known the Prophets would never commit such an abject sin.
The word "كل” (kul) as used in both hadiths refers to `most,' although it can mean "every" it does not mean this in all cases.
As a matter of fact, in the explanation of Sahih Muslim, an-Nawawiyy said:
"The saying of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, is among the terms which are "عام مخصوص" (^am makhsus) i.e., a general statement giving a specific meaning; which is a known field in Islam, and the meaning of the hadith is "most innovations are innovations of misguidance."
This field the"عام مخصوص" is seen in the Qur'an in Ayah 3 of Surat al-Ahqaf: [تدمر كل شىء] which means the wind Allah sent as punishment to the people of ^Ad demolished most [and not all] of the things.
Here is the ayah in full:
تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَىْء بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهَاٍمَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيم كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ِ
Tudammiru kulla shay-in bi-amri rabbiha faasbahoo la yura illa masakinuhum kathalika najzee alqawma almujrimeena
Destroying all things [kulla shay-in] by commandment of its Lord
And morning found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings.
[Surah al-Ahqaf]
Thus the dwellings were not destroyed although "all" [kulla shay-in] things had been destroyed. "All" [Kullu] here specifically refers to the lives of the unbelievers of Ad and their properties, but not their dwellings!
So again, the interpretation of the term kullu "every" to mean "all-encompassing without exception" is incorrect.
In arabic it may mean "nearly all" or "the vast majority" and this was the understanding of Imam Shafi'i and others.
There is another example in Surah al-Naml (27:23) illustrating this fact.....
So what is required is a harmonised understanding of the above quoted hadith from our Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with his following statement:
Imam Muslim related, through the route of Jarir Ibn ^Abdullah, the Prophet said:
"من سنَّ في الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها وأجر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة، لا ينقص من أجورهم شىء ومن سنَّ فِى الإسلام سنة سيئة فعليه وزرها ووزر من عمل بها إلى يوم القيامة لا ينقص من أوزارهم شىء"
"The one who innovates a good practice [sunnatun hasana] in Islam has its reward and a reward similar to those who follow him in it--until the Day of Judgment--without lessening their reward. The one who innovates a practice of misguidance would be sinful for it and has sins similar to those who follow him in it--until the Day of Judgment--without lessening their sins."
How did the Ulema harmonise between these hadith?
Imam Nawawi said in Sahih Muslim (6-21)
"The Prophet's saying every innovation is a general-particular and it is a reference to most innovations. The linguists say, "Innovation is any act done without a previous pattern, and it is of five different kinds.'" Imam Nawawi also said in Tahzeeb al Asma' wal Sifaat, "Innovation in religious law is to originate anything which did not exist during the time of the Prophet, and it is divided into good and bad." He also said, "Al-muhdathat (pl. for muhdatha) is to originate something that has no roots in religious law. In the tradition of religious law it is called innovation, and if it has an origin within the religious law, then it is not innovation. Innovation in religious law is disagreeable, unlike in the language where everything that has been originated without a previous pattern is called innovation regardless of whether it is good or bad."
Shaykh Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani, the commentator on Al Bukhari, said,
"Anything that did not exist during the Prophet's time is called innovation, but some are good while others are not."
Abu Na'eem, narrated from Ibrahim Al Junaid, said, "I heard Ash-Shafi'i saying,
"Innovation is of two types; praiseworthy innovation and blameworthy innovation, and anything that disagrees with the Sunnah is blameworthy.'"
Imam Albayhaqi narrated in Manaqib Ash-Shafi'i that Ash-Shafi'i said,
"Innovations are of two types: that which contradicts the Qu'ran, the Sunnah, or unanimous agreement of the Muslims is a innovation of deception, while a good innovation does not contradict any of these things."
Al `Izz bin Abdussalam said, at the end of his book, Al Qawa'id,
"Innovation is divided into obligatory, forbidden, recommended, disagreeable and permissible, and the way to know which is which is to match it against the religious law."
And Allah knows best.
@@fifafreebies8941 unfortunately for you, there are MANY other Hadiths which talks about Bid'ah or innovation which clearly showed that any kind of Bid'ah is detestable and REJECTED by Allah.

Ibn Anas said: Or he accommodates an innovator."

The first adhan of jummah was started by sayyidina uthman( radi Allahu anhu) and it's something related to the deen. Ibn umar ( radi Allahu anhu) called it a bidah. So if it's a bidah then it's a bidah hasanah.

Hey Paul, do you have your content on spotify?
Astaghfirullah, did he say music is a source of healing for people
Prove?
Indeed, it's a healing for some because it has some benefits. But the ahkam is not based on benefit and harm rather it's based on what Allah revealed to us. Allah Himself said that alcohol has some benefits while categorically declaring it as haram. You can distinguish between the benefits and the ahkam in this manner.
@@muizzmohamad5256 He’s quoting someone saying this at 24:37
Interestingly, the word is not in the Quran. There is nothing wrong with vocabulary, but one must be carefully as words can cause arguments or confusions (controversys etc), and sometimes worse causing divisions. As matter of the deen Allah has explained everything in the quran and the Deen was completed with the quran. Ignoring such a word is highly couraged.
Amazing points in Ghazali book
I think attention should be put on beautifying our hearts & helping the disadvantaged rather than adorning mosques. Algazali was right.
Jazaka Allah brother Paul.
Having nice carpets, decorative Masjid, using loud speakers for Azan etc. are not bi'dah. Bi'dah occurs in Ibadah, what Rasulullah SAW and his righteous companions didn't do but anybody is doing. For example, making milad, doing collective Du'aa after Fard prayers, celebrating Prophet's birthday, etc.
This guy knows nothing. He called imam shawkani a zaydi scholar. Be aware of people who cant even do regular research. Let alone take your deen from them

The Prophet ﷺ said:-
“Every Bid’ah is misguidance.”
[Sahīh Sunan Abī Dawood no. 4607].
The companions of the Prophet ﷺ said:-
Abdullah ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنه said,
“All bid’ah is misguidance even if the people see it as good.”
[al-Laalikaai (126) Ibn Batta (205) Baihaqi in Madkhal ila Sunnan (191) ibn Nasr (70) with an authentic chain].
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas رضي الله عنهما said:
“Indeed the most hated of affairs with Allaah is innovation.”
[al-Laalikaai (1/132) Abu Nu’aim in Hulyah (7/26) and Baghawi in Sharh Sunnah (1/216)].
Al-Shatbi in his Fatawa (p.180-181) in explaining this hadeeth says:
“This is taken upon its general meaning without an exception in anything being made at all and there is nothing in it that is considered to be good.”
If the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said there is no good Bid'ah, so there is no excuse for those who say there is.
Of course we're talking about religious innovations, not worldy ones.

There are Innovations made by Sahabas رضي الله عنهم as well (including Abu Bakr, Umar, Usman رضي الله عنهم ). Are they also misguided? This refers to the innovations made in the Islamic ruling and mainly in the time of Hazat Ameer Muaviya رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ and civil war in the Islam (Baghawat).
@UCfmWVk8_0BkOXYRK2VU0Bkw Is that so? Then why do Muslims ask if Television or Internet or Movies are haraam or Bidah or not??? 32:00 None of these things are mentioned in the Quran or Hadith or discussed by early scholars.
All mainstream Sunni Muslim scholars (e.g. Yasir Qadhi, Mufti Menk, etc.) will tell you that you should follow one of the 4 Madhabs of Islam. If the 4 Madhabs say in unison that wind and string musical instruments are prohibited, then Sunni Muslims should follow this advice without trying to argue as a Sunni Muslim that it is OK to use/listen to these musical instruments. I think most of the confusion comes in from the opinions of other (smaller) sects of Islam that are not mainstream Sunni; for example, Sufi and other such smaller (non-mainstream) sects of Islam. For mainstream Muslim Sunnis, the 4 Madhabs do clearly state that wind and string musical instruments are prohibited. I don’t think we, as average Muslim Sunni followers who are not scholars, have the authority to make our own individual fatwas on music to suit our lifestyles or for convenience. That’s one of the many purposes of the 4 Sunni Madhabs: to remind us of the red lines to stay inside.
asking a muslim from zeytuna college about bid'ah is like asking a transexual about LGBT rights.

That is so true. The Prophet's mosque was made of date palm tree trunks and leaves e.t.c
Not fancy at all. Even though they had the capacity and know how to build grand mosque. They chose not to.
What we see today in mosques are pure innovation and abomination. Some people today just go to mosques to take photos and video vlogging.

The example of Mosque decorations has nothing fatwa in it, but sometimes another hadith indirectly applied so, like glorifying the house of Allah, and it become a culture even tho not in a details 🤔
The statements of the Salaf are clear.
What is a layman or layperson supposed to do ? @29.50. Sorry paul and Dr Ali, not everyone follows the 'four' schools of fiqh. The most common sense thing to do is to ask a scholar if there is a clearr nass injuction coming from the Qur'aan or an authentic saying of the Prophet[saw] if such and such a thing is lawful or haraam. if there is no nass at least ask if it contradicts the ethical standards set by the Qur'aan and sunnah and then use your intellect to come to a decision.
So, the four imams looked at the Quran and sunnah and made a conclusion, but you believe you’re somehow more pious and rational than them and will come to a better conclusion. You’re not a mujtahid
Typical of a reply from a jaheel. I was only quoting Ibn Hazm of the zaheeri school of law. No Muslim can be forced to accept any opinion if there is no nass to support it .
Quoting in arabic is a flex 💪 not a reference. We want references.
first you should define it. Bidaah is additional to the Religion. not to day today lives. you should first draw the line what is religion and what is cultural
Is constant reposting of misleading kafir partisan memes bidah - or just confusion?
This guy is confused. Quran + Sunnah is primary source. All scholars + madhabs derive from this same fountain. Then they do ijtihad and concensus.

I don't think your discussions brings out the real meaning of Bid'a
Sahih bukhari, 2010
Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said,
"I went out in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in Ramadan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b. Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night."
Taraweeh was a bida' from umar. The prophet had said that non-compulsory prayers should be prayed individually.
Prophet Muhammad shallallahu alaihi wa sallam instructed us to follow the sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali), so following their sunnah (this applies only to their sunnah) is NOT considered as Bid'ah, but following other religious innovations performed by other than them is considered as Bid'ah.

Sahih Muslim 761
A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed one night in the mosque and people also prayed along with him. He then prayed on the following night and there were many persons. Then on the third or fourth night (many people) gathered there, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not come out to them (for leading the Tarawih prayer). When it was morning he said:
I saw what you were doing, but I desisted to come to you (and lead the prayer) for I feared that this prayer might become obligatory for you. (He the narrator) said: It was the month of Ramadan.
