BRIEF EXPLANATION
Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa
barakaatuh
We begin today's lecture by
acknowledging Allah's favors on us and sending praise to His beloved Prophet
Muhammad and his family and companions and all those who follows their path of
success in this world to the hereafter
Our hadith is #5 of annawawis
عن أم المؤمنين عائشة رضي الله
عنها قالت : قال رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم : من أحد في أمرنا هذا ما أبي منه فهو
رد": وراه البخاري ومسلم وفي رواية لمسلم"من عمل عملا بئس عليه أمرنا فهو
رد"
On the authority of the
mother of the believers Aisha May Allah be pleased with her
She said : The messenger صلى الله
عليه وسلم
Said; Who ever innovates in
this our matter (Islam) what is not of it will have it rejected
Recorded in Bukhari and
Muslim .In another version from Muslim
" Whoever does anything
that is not in this our matter ( Islam) will have it rejected "
Scholars (most prominent of
which is Imam Shafi‘i) generally have
divided bid'ah into two types: innovations in worldly matters and innovations
in religious matters.
Some have additionally
divided bid'ah into lawful and unlawful innovations, the details of which are
discussed below.
Introducing and acting upon a
bid‘ah in religious matters is a sin and considered one of
theenormities in Islam that is obligatory to immediately desist and repent
from.
In worldly matters
Sunni Muslim scholars
have divided bid‘ah in worldly matters into two types:
Good and bad
innovation:Bid'ah Say'iah, "a new thing" which "opposes the
Quran and Sunnah" or is "against Islam" (Ibn Hajar
al-Asqalani and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya) or "Sharia(Islamic
law)" (Muhammad Ramzaan), or removes sunnah or wajib and is
forbidden.Bid'ah Hasana, a new thing that is not against the Sharia (according
to scholars such as Muhammad ash-Shawkani Al-Nawawi Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani,
Ibn Manzur, Al-Raghib al-Isfahani and Badr al-Din al-Ayni).
An example ofBid'ah Hasana is the development of the study of
Hadith, Fiqh, Tafsir, which did not exist at the time of the Islamic
prophet Muhammad
Among other worldly
innovations are. The different means of transportation such as cars, trains,
motorcycles and so on. All these good forms of worldly innovations.
Others include clothes and
different forms of clothes that are ISLAMICALLY ACCEPTED by standards of
morality cherished by Islam. However, religious form of innovations MUST BE
CAREFULLY LOOKED AT. This is to make sure that they do not go against the Quran
and Sunna. Religious forms of innovations such as using technology to propagate
Islam and to ease the burden of the Islamic communities are accepted. The above
forms of innovations are considered good in Islam. On the other hand
innovations that involve introducing a NEW FORM OF WORSHIP ARE UNEQUIVOCALLY
PROHIBITED. These forms of innovations go against the Quran and Sunna of the
messenger. The implications of the above type of Bid'ah
Is that
The innovator is pointing
that the messenger did not fully deliver his massage as Allah instructed
him.May Allah forbid
Allah says in his glorious
book
Oh you messenger (Muhammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم )
deliver what has been
revealed to you from your lord. If you failed to do that then you have not
delivered his (Allah's) massage. And Allah will protect you from the (evil of)
people.
So therefore the Prophet
Muhammad could not afford to conceal any thing as he had divine protection from
all evil.When the above verse was revealed, the prophet called those companions
who were guarding him to go and take care of their affairs as Allah has taken
charge of his protection.
Why COULD HE HIDE ANYTHING
FROM HIS UMMA
MAY ALLAH HAVE MERCY ON US
AND GUIDE THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE INNOVATIONS OF OTHERS WITHOUT KNOWING
SHAITAAN HAD VOWED NOT TO
TEMPER WITH SUCH PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER REALIZE THEIR OWN DOOM
WE SHALL END OUR LESSON HERE
MAY ALLAH FORGIVE US OUR
TRESPASSES
AND BLESS OUR LITTLE EFFORTS
WASSALAAMU ALAIKUM
