00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.480
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:09.480
Innovation (bid'ah).

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:14.539
Innovation is that which is newly introduced into the religion.

00:00:14.539 --> 00:00:16.539
Some scholars define it

00:00:16.539 --> 00:00:20.539
as any method invented within the religion

00:00:20.539 --> 00:00:22.539
that mimics the divinely ordained path,

00:00:22.539 --> 00:00:26.570
with the intention of exaggerating in the worship of Allah.

00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:28.570
Such innovation is forbidden,

00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:32.570
and all of it is misguidance and rejected upon those who practice it.

00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:35.570
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

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."

00:00:40.570 --> 00:00:42.630
Agreed upon.

00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:45.630
As for that which is newly introduced in worldly affairs,

00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:49.630
such as inventions and systems that are needed,

00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:51.630
and which do not contradict the Shari'ah,

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:53.630
there is no innovation in them.

00:00:53.630 --> 00:00:58.299
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
