Remember this law of Deen: NOT every new thing added become a Bida !! Let us explain. Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm) NEVER compiled Quran in a book form. It was memorized or was written by various Sahabas on their own. In the times of Khilafat e Rashida, when so many Huffaz were martyred in a battle, it was suggested to compile and collect the Quran in a book. Sayyadna Abu Bakr was reluctant as Rasul Allah (sm) had not done it. some Sahabas were extremely careful not to start a Bida but then it was agreed that this new innovation is NOT the bida Allah has forbidden. So Quran was collected, compiled, written and spread as a book. Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm) discouraged writing of Ahadees. Sahabas never did it. Sayyadna Umer even prevented Hazrat Abu Huraira from narrating Ahadees. First proper book of Ahadees Muta Imam Malik came 150 years after Sayaydi Rasul Allah !! NO ONE Called it a bida for it was needed at that time as people had begun to forget ahadees and their compilation has become a necessity. Sahabas Never had documented codified law or Fiqh. It was NOT done during times of Rasul Allah (sm) and Khulfa e Rashideen. But when the Islamic lands expanded, there was a need for a codified law. For the first time, Imam Malik, then Imam Shfii, then other Imams created Fiqh, 2 to 3 hundred years after Khilafat e Rashida. NO sahabi, Tabii or Taba tabii was called Hanfi, Maliki, shafii or Hanbli or Ahl Hadees, Salfi or Shia ! Are these terms Bida too ?? NO Sahaba ever trasnlated Quran. It was not done for the next 1000 years !! in India, first persian translation was done by Shah Wali Ullah. People called it a bida but Shah WaliUllah explained the wisdom that people have forgotton arabic and its translaiton is needed as the objective is to teach the wisdom of Quran to the people. NO ONE then objected and translations started all over the Ummah. That was NOT a bad bida but a needed Ijtihad to spread the message. There is direct Hukm of Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm) to teach your children love of Rasul Allah and Ahl Beyt and teach them to read Quran. The Hukm has been given directly and the methods have been left to the Ummah to decide. In the beginning, Sahabas had seen Rasul Allah (sm), lived with him and knew him closely. But after decades and centuries, when Islam spread to farthest corners of the world, people did not know Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm). There was NO media, no TV, no books, no way to travel great distances for all the people to go to Medina to visit Masjid e Nabwi, so some people drew from the original hukm & organized proper Milad celebrations where love of Sayyadi Rasul Allah was developed. This is NOT a bida but the need of the time to make sure that Ummah know the beautiful attributes of Sayyadi Rasul Allah. For centuries, this has been accepted as the normal good practice to fulfil the hukm of Sayyadi Rasul Allah to teach your children and people love and adab of Sayyadi and ahl beyt. This is NOT a bad bida. This is NOT an innovation. Sahabas did not need this. We need this. Sahabas did NOT need fiqh, books of Hadees & written translated Quran. we need these. These do NOT become bida. These are the permissions within the boundaries of Ijtihad and Ijmah of the Ummah. There is NO deen without the love of Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm). Any means adopted to develop love of Sayyadi is NOT bida but Fard in these times of fitnah ! May Allah bless us with the love of Sayyadi Rasul Allah (sm) and protect is from shirk, kufr and bida.
