A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,480
Innovation (bid'ah).

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,539
Innovation is that which is newly introduced into the religion.

4
00:00:14,539 --> 00:00:16,539
Some scholars define it

5
00:00:16,539 --> 00:00:20,539
as any method invented within the religion

6
00:00:20,539 --> 00:00:22,539
that mimics the divinely ordained path,

7
00:00:22,539 --> 00:00:26,570
with the intention of exaggerating in the worship of Allah.

8
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:28,570
Such innovation is forbidden,

9
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:32,570
and all of it is misguidance and rejected upon those who practice it.

10
00:00:32,570 --> 00:00:35,570
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

11
00:00:35,570 --> 00:00:40,570
"Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which is not part of it, it is rejected."

12
00:00:40,570 --> 00:00:42,630
Agreed upon.

13
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:45,630
As for that which is newly introduced in worldly affairs,

14
00:00:45,630 --> 00:00:49,630
such as inventions and systems that are needed,

15
00:00:49,630 --> 00:00:51,630
and which do not contradict the Shari'ah,

16
00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:53,630
there is no innovation in them.

17
00:00:53,630 --> 00:00:58,299
