Why people commit Bidah? Mu’adh b. Jabal – may Allah be pleased with him – used to say: Ahead of you are times of trials (fitna) in which there will be much wealth and in which the Qur’an will be opened and taken (read) by believers and hypocrites, men and women, young and old and freemen and slaves. At that time it is likely that there will be people who will say, “Why aren’t the people following me when I have read the Qur’an? They will not follow me until I invent something else.” So, beware of everything that is innovated (in religion), for those things that are innovated are misguidance. [Ibn Waddah, Al-Bida’ p62, Al-Lalaka’i, Sharh Usul I’tiqad Ahl –Al-Sunnah wa Al-Jama’ah Vol. 1 p125 and others.] ~Indeed, there are numerous authentic Ahâdîth that clearly warn us of the dangers of committing Bid’ah in our religion. It is for our guidance that we must know Islâm in its purest form. Only sufficient knowledge of the Qur’ân and the Sunnah can guide us to stick to the right path and avoid other paths that lead us to bid’ah and hence sinful deeds. So never stop seeking knowledge. In shaa Allah. May Allah (subhanahu wataala) grant us understanding of our deen correctly to prevent ourselves from commiting bidah. Ameen...
