The
Birthday of the seal of Prophets
OR
Innovation in religion and celebration of the birthday of the seal of Prophets (Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him)
By ‘Abdul Al-‘Azeez ibn Salim Al-Omar
All perfect praise is due to Allah Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikun (non-Muslims) dislike its prevalence. May prayers and peace of Allah be upon His slave and Messenger; our Prophet Muhammad, the one who eliminated Shirk (polytheism) and misguidance, the one who demonstrated the right and called people to it. May Allah The Almighty bestow His peace and blessing upon him, his household and his companions.
The most truthful speech is Allah's Speech, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst matters are the newly invented (in religion), every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is a deviation, and every deviation is in Hellfire.
Dear reader!
What is the Bid‘ah (innovation) against which Islam warned us and described it as a misguidance?
Bid‘ah linguistically means initiating something without any precedent example.
In the terminology of shari’ah, bid’ah means something that is newly invented in matters of religion that appears similar to the prescribed ruling. It contradicts the Sunnah and goes against it.
Dear Brother!
The following are some texts about Bid‘ah:
1. Al-‘Irbadd Ibn Sariyah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, said:
“Those of you who live after my death will see many controversies. I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the sunnah (way) of my rightly-guided successors (Al-khulafaa’ Ar-Rashidoon) who come after me. Hold onto it as if biting it with your eye teeth. Beware of newly-innovated matters, for every innovation is a going astray.” [Reported by Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi, ibn Majah, Ad-Daarimi, Al-Haakim, Ibn Hibaan, Al-Albani deemed it Saheeh (authentic)].
«إنه من يعش منكم فسيرى اختلافا كثيرا فعليكم بسنتي وسنة الخلفاء الراشدين المهديين عضوا عليها بالنواجذ وإياكم ومحدثات الأمور فإن كل بدعة ضلالة» أخرجه أحمد والترمذي وابن ماجه والدارمي والحاكم وابن حبان وصححه الألباني
2. Jabir Ibn ‘Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, said:
