Bid`ah and Common Mistakes (eBook)

Description

To add anything to the religion is to accuse the Prophet (salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) of withholding something good or not fulfilling his role.  When we make shahadah, we are bearing witness that no one is worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the final prophet and messenger of Allah. Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) is the seal of  all the Prophets, and his job was to explain and to be an example of how we can live a successful life, and he did so in the most complete manner.

If an act of worship was not practiced by Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), his Companions, the four Khalifas, the first three generations of this great ummah, then it is not an act of worship that is sanctioned by Islam and therefore is an innovation (bid’ah).
