THE EVIL DANGERS OF BID’AH

Bid’ah (innovation) indicates evil dangers:

Firstly: It indicates a belying of the saying of Allaah, Exalted is He:

“This day I have perfected your religion for you.” (Al-Maa’idah 5:3)

Because when somebody comes with an innovation & considers it as a form of religion; its implication is that the religion is not perfect.

Secondly: It indicates a defamation of the Sharee’ah, & that it is imperfect, so this innovator is the one who makes it perfect with his act of innovation.

Thirdly: It indicates a defamation of the Muslims, who do not practice this innovation; so, those people who lived before this innovation; their religion is incomplete – this is a grave danger!

Fourthly: Among the implications of this innovation is that what prevails is that whoever is occupied with an innovation, he would be distracted from a Sunnaah, as some of the Salaf said: “People will not innovate an innovation, except that they will demolish its like from the Sunnaah.”
