Beware of Innovation in Deen (Special Tahjud for 31st - TopicsExpress



          

Beware of Innovation in Deen (Special Tahjud for 31st December)! Allaah (Subhaanahu wa taaalaa) says (interpretation of the meaning) ...This day I have completed your Religion for you, and I have perfected My favor upon you, and I am pleased with Islaam as a Religion for you.’ [Surat-ul-Maa’idah: Q5V3]. Gathering people for special tahjud on this night has no precedence from our pious predecessors because the New Year has never belong to we Muslims and that we must not imitate the kuffaar in whatever things they do in their religion. Observing special nawaafil for this night and special prayers will be termed bidah and this is because the Prophet (ṣalla Allaahu ‘alaehi wa-sallam) said: “Whoever innovates anything in this matter of ours (i.e., Islam), that is not part of it will have it rejected.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 2697; Muslim, no. 1718), and according to a version narrated by Muslim, “Whoever does anything that is not in accordance with this matter of ours (i.e., Islam), will have it rejected.” This is why it is reported on the Imaam of Daar-ul-Hijrah (Madeenah), Imaam Maalik Ibn Anas, may Allaah have mercy on him, that he said: “Whosoever introduces into Islaam an innovation, which he deems is good, then he has claimed that Muhammad (ṣalla Allaahu ‘alaehi wa- sallam) has betrayed (the trust of conveying) the Message. So whatever was not (part of) the Religion on that day, is not (part of) the Religion on this day. And the last part of this ummah (nation) will not be rectified, except by that which rectified its first part.” BAWARE OH! BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ISLAAM.
