It is absolutely wrong to call every Bid’aa or Mukh’dasa as bad. So clearly the two words for innovation, which have been quite emphatically criticized in Ahadith are Muh’dasa محدثھ and Bid’aa بدعھ or Bid’at بدعتįor innovation, two words are used in Ahadith namely (Muh’dasa) محدثھ and (Bid’aa) بدعھ:Īlthough the above mentioned two words (Mukh’dasa and Bid’aa) have been thoroughly criticized in the sayings of the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم), yet in Arabic they are used for every new thing whether the thing is good or bad. Similarly the most famous Hadith (of Muslim) against Bid’at has the wording: وشرالامور محدثاتھا وکل بدعھ ضلالھ۔۔۔ ( And among the worst deeds is to invent new things and every innovation is misguidance). The Hadith of Bukhari starts as من احدث ۔۔۔ (Whoever invented a new thing …). Almost all the Ahadith related to innovation has used this word (i.e. In fact in Ahadith the word Muh’dasa has been used more frequently than the word Bid’aa. Only Bid’at-e-Saiya (bad innovation) has been condemned in the Hadith.”įor innovation or new things, two words are used in Hadith literature: (Muh’dasa) محدثھ and (Bid’aa) بدعھ and these two have almost the same meaning and are used interchangeably in various Ahadith. Innovations are of two types: Bid’at-e-Hasana (good innovation) and Bid’at-e-Sai’ya (bad innovation). Rest of the points would follow in the future posts. This is the point that I would be proving in this post initially. Is it really the case? It is actually not. This gives the impression that the Hadith is declaring every innovation as Bid’at and hence condemnable. Primarily they base their thesis on the following Hadith of Muslim :وشرالامور محدثاتھا وکل بدعھ ضلالھ۔۔۔ (And among the worst deeds is to invent new things and every innovation (Bid’at) is misguidance).
Some people believe that bid’at (innovation) is always bad it cannot be divided into good and bad innovations. So I am planning to take one or two points at a time to explain our point of view, and then move on to other aspects). Discussion on all of these aspects would require a very lengthy post in which many users might loose the track of the discussion. Major Question/objection: Is EVERY Innovation (bad) Bid’at?ĭiscussion on Bid’at involves many aspects. Defination of Bidah: Some thing which wasn't performed or done during time of Prophet (saleh ala waalihi wasalam) but introduced later on.It is divided into different categories and bidah (innovation) in Aqeeda (islamic beliefs) is considered evil (haram) where as Good bidahs in religion which don't effect Aqeeda (beliefs) are endorsed and made by Ijhtehad of scholars and had been made in the past.
