What is Bid'ah in Islam ? - Innovation              by Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Naimi
Booklet - 32 pages                                                                                    Published : 2001  

Introduction:

It is indeed very distressing and disappointing to see within our society certain groups of 'scholars' who are continuously slander true and sincere Muslims by labelling them as 'Bid'atis, grave-worshippers, proponents of Shirk' and other derogatory terms that do not befit true Muslims.

These true and sincere Muslims, belonging to the Ahl al Sunnah 'School of Thought' have been practising certain aspects of the Deen over a long period, many of which could be traced to earlier sources in Islamic history and culture and which were never in dispute.

Today, the term 'bid'ah' has been attached to these very actions. The frequency with which this term has been used and is used creates uncertainty in the minds of individuals who are not informed of the reality. 

There exists, therefore, a dire need to explain in simple terms what bid'ah' means and what acts constitute 'bid'ah and what acts do not. This book, the origin of which was in urdu, and written by a great Islamic scholar or Aalim, Hakeem al Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yaar Khan Na'imi Ashrafi 'alayhir rahmah, purports to explain in great detail the concept of bid'ah and thus clear the minds of Muslims.

  What is Bid'at ? - AN EXPLANATION OF CORRECT AND INCORRECT INNOVATION IN ISLAM 
  Booklet - 32 pages                                                                   by Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Naimi

Published : 1995

The problem of 'Innovation' in Islam may seem an obscure subject, but in fact it lies at the centre of Islamic politics today. The wahhabis and fundamentalists have been trying for many years to put themselves in power over the Muslims, but they could only do this by getting rid of the Islam that went before. This was the 'true Islam', and the 'true Religion' ; traditional Sunni Islam of Ahl al-Sunnat wal Jama’at. These fundamentalists tried to sweep this away by claiming that the real Sunni Islam was, in fact, some kind of 'novelty', wrongly invented in the time since after the Beloved Muhammad Prophet Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam, and so Sunni Islam should be swept away and replaced by their radical neo conservative ideas.

This book by Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan May Allah be pleased with him totally defeats these plots! He explains the whole theory of novelty in Islam, giving a detailed analysis based on Qur'an, Hadith, Islamic Law and History. He shows the beauty of traditional Sunni Islam, and the complete freedom of the Muslim, for in Sunni Islam anything is allowed unless forbidden by Law!

Those Muslims who have doubts about Milad an Nabi (Mawlid), and many other things the Wahhabis and Fundamentalists attack, should look no further than this excellent book.

Sunna Notes :  Volume 2 - Studies in Hadith & Doctrine

 Paperback - 274 pages :  The Excellent Innovation in the Qur’an & Hadith

Sunna Notes 
Studies in Hadith and Doctrine
Volume 2: The Excellent Innovation in the Qur’an & Hadith
By Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad  

With Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali’s 
The Sunna of the Caliphs  
 
Nowhere in the field of Islamic jurisprudence is a blatant tampering with the truth felt more than in the redefinition of "Sunna" and "bid'a". The understanding of the pious Salaf such as Imam al-Shafi'i May Allah be pleased with him for these terms is arrogantly cast aside. Their crystal-clear distinction: "Bid'a is of two kinds: praiseworthy innovation and blameworthy innovation" is being abandoned, while in their place. later, controversial figures are invoked as "more representative of the Salaf". Newfangled theories worm their way into the discourse on right and wrong and -even worse- entire generations of Muslims have been weaned on these perversions of the truth and go into the world parroting the terms "Sunna" and "bid'a" without ever understanding them. Choice victims for this campaign of disinformation in our time are English-speaking Muslims, especially new Muslims. They learn a few expressions then, coiffed with their new hat of condemnatory phrases, go out and blast away at other Muslims.

The purpose of this book is to do away once and for all with these perilous misconceptions and to present over 160 proofs for the Sunni understanding of Sunna and bid'a as it was -and continues to be- set forth in classical, moderate, mainstream Islam according to the Sunni Salaf and Khalaf including the Four Schools of Fiqh.
