Abdullah bin Mas'ood asked Abu Musa, _'What did you say to them?' Abu Musa said: "I said nothing, waiting for your instructions." Abdullah said: "Why did you not tell them to count their sins, and I would guarantee that none of their good deeds will be wronged." Then he went to the Masjid, and we followed him until he reached one of those circles, and stood by it and said: "What are you doing`' Count your sins and I guarantee that none of your good deeds will be lost. Woe to you, the Ummah of Muhammad! How fast is your destruction?.

The Companions of the Prophet are still around, and his clothes are not warn out yet (meaning the Prophet's) and his utensils are not broken yet. *By the One in Whose hand is my life, you are either following a religion better than the deen of Muhammad, or charging into a gate of deviation.*"_
They said: _"By Allah, O Abu Abdur Rahmaan, we only intended to do good. He said: *"How many who intend to do good, but never accomplish it."* The Messenger of Allah told us that there are some people who read the Qur'an but it never passes beyond their throats.

By Allah, the majority of you belong to those people." Then he left them. Amr bin Salamah commented: *"We saw the majority of those people fighting against us with the Khawarij in the battle of Nahrawan.*"_ (Ad-Darimi).

*▫️. A man came to Imam Malik bin Anas, may Allah grant him His mercy, and asked:* _"Where am I supposed to put on the lhram?" Imam Malik said: "In the Meeqat, which is designated by the Messenger of Allah, in which he put on his Ihram." The man further asked: "What if I put on my Ihram before reaching the Meeqat?" Imam Malik said: "I do not approve of this." The man asked: "Why don't you like it?" Imam Malik said: "I dislike that you undergo a Fitnah (the temptation of Shaitan)" The man said: *"What Fitnah will there be in gaining more goodness?"*_

Imam Malik responded: "Allah, says: *"So let those of you who disobey His command beware lest a trial afflict them or receive a grievous punishment."* (24:63)

Then Imam Malik further said: _*"What Fitnah is greater than thinking that you have been distinguished with a merit with which the Prophet was not distinguished!"*_ (Abu Shama, al-Ba'ith ala Inkar al-Bid'ah wal Hawadith pp. 14).

▪️ *The method of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah in responding to the people of Bid'ah*

Their method is based on the Book and the Sunnah which is the most convincing, in that they quote the dubious arguments of the people of Bid'ah and then refute them. They substantiate by the Book and the Sunnah the incumbency of adhering to the practices of the Prophet and the prohibition of the Bid'ah, or the innovated religious practices.

They have written many Books in this field, and refuted in the works of Aqidah the arguments and the beliefs of the Shi'ites, the Kharijites, the Jahmites, the Mu'tazilites, and the Asharites, and their innovated assertions that are relevant to Iman and Aqidah. They also wrote books on that particular topic. Imam Ahmed wrote a book responding to the Jahmites beliefs. While other Imams, such as Uthman bin Saeed ad-Darimi also wrote books in that field, and Shaikhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, his student Ibn al Qayyim, and Shaikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab and others refuted the beliefs of those sects, as well as the beliefs of the grave worshippers and the Sufis.

As for the specialized works that are dedicated to refuting the arguments of the people of Bid'ah, they are many. To give an example the following are some of the works that are written in the past.

*▫️.* AI I'tisaam, by Imam ash Shatibi
*▫️.* Iqtida as Sirat al Mustaqim, by Sheikh al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, a book which dealt mainly with refuting the arguments of the people of Bid'ah.
*▫️.* Inkar al-Hawadith wal Bid'ah by al Waddah.

*▫️.* Al Hawadith wal Bid'ah by at Tartooshi
*▫️.* Al Ba'ith ala Inkaar al Bida wal Hawadith by Abu Shama, and of the contemporary works;
*🔸.* Al Ibdaa fi Maddar al Ibtidaa by Sheik Ali Mahfooth
*🔸* As Sunan wal Mubtadaat al-Mutaliqat bil adthkar was salawat by ash Shaikh Muhammad bin Ahmed ash Shuqairi al Hawamidi.
*🔸.* Risalat at Tahthir min al Bidah by Shaikh Abdul Aziz ibn Baz.
Muslim scholars, praise be to Allah, continue to refute the Bid'ah and respond to their people through the magazines, newspapers, broadcasting, Jumu'ah khuthah, symposiums, and lectures that have great effect in awakening the Muslims, and educating them, as well as eliminating the Bid'ah and their people.

*SOME EXAMPLES OF THE CONTEMPORARY INNOVATIONS*

*▪️. The Celebration of the Prophet birthday*
It is a celebration that resembles the Christians' celebration of Christ's birth (Christmas). Ignorant Muslims and deviant scholars celebrate in the month of Rabi al Awwal, the Messengers' birthday. Some hold this function in mosques, and some at homes while others in designated places that are prepared for this purpose. Large numbers attend such celebration, copying the Christians in their Bid'ah of celebrating Christmas.
