*How the People of Bid'ah should be Treated*

It is unlawful to visit the Mubtadi' or keep his company except for the purpose of exhortation and refutation because keeping his company has negative effects on those who visit him. Muslims should be cautioned against the people of Bid'ah and their evil if it is not possible to prevent them from practicing their Bid'ah. Otherwise, it is the duty of the Scholars of the Muslims, and the rulers to punish those who practice them to stop their evil because they have a serious danger on Islam.

It should also be known that the Kafir States encourage the people of Bid'ah to promote the innovations and assist them in many ways as a means of eliminating Islam and marring its image.
We ask Allah, Glory be to Him, to support His deen and keep His word the supreme, and defeat His enemies. May Allah exalt the mention of our Prophet Muhammad, his household and Companions.

*▪️. Bid'ah in terms of worship and means of nearness to Allah*

The Bid'ah that has been innovated in the field of worship at this time are many. Worship basically are restricted to the Book and Sunnah, no acts of worship should be legislated except by proof from those two sources. _Any act of worship which is not sanctioned by a textual proof is Bid'ah._ The Prophet ﷺ said: _*"He who performs an act of worship which is not substantiated by our deen, it shall be rejected."*_ (Muslim).

    *Innovated acts of worship practiced today are many; of such are*:

*▫️. Pronouncing the intention of Salat verbally is Bid'ah*, for example, by saying: _"I intend to perform such and such prayer for the sake of Allah."_ This is a Bid'ah because it does not belong to the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and because Allah says: *"Say, 'Will you acquaint Allah with your faith, while Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and Allah knows everything?"* (49:16). Intention belongs to the heart or mind because it is an internal action not to be expressed with the tongue.

▫️. Recitation of Dhikr in congregation after concluding the Salat is also Bid'ah.* It is legitimate only to recite the Dhikr individually.
*▫️. Another Bid'ah is the request to recite al Fatihah on certain occasions, and upon concluding supplications for dead people. Likewise, holding mourning functions by preparing food for mourners, hiring reciters to recite the Qur'an, alleging that all these things belong to the ritual of mourning which will benefit the dead*

While in fact, all of these above Bid'ah have no base in Islam. Rather, they are difficulties that people impose upon themselves, and which Allah does not approve.
*▫️. Celebrating certain religious occasions such as; Isra' and Mi'raj, and the emigration of the Prophet ﷺ to Madinah, his birthday* all of which are not sanctioned by the Shari'ah.

   * Introduction to the Teachings of Aqeedah (Additional Section)*
➖➖➖


*▪️The Linguistic Meaning of Aqeedah:* It (the word Aqeedah) is derived from al-Aqad, which is to 'tie something (firmly)', and 'I'taqadtu such and such,‟ means,‟ I tied my heart and mind to it”. Al-Aqeedah' is what a person takes as a religion. It is said, 'he has a good Aqeedah' meaning, 'protected from doubts”.

Aqeedah is an action of the heart, which is to believe and affirm something in the heart.

*▪️The Meaning of Aqeedah in the Sharee'ah:* It is the belief in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day and belief in al-Qadar (Predestination) - it is good and evil. These are called the Pillars of Eeman (faith).
___*PAGE 9*___.
✍️...

The Sharee'ah is divided into two parts; *Beliefs and Actions*

*▫️Beliefs* are issues, which are not related to how an act is performed, like belief in the Rububiyah (Lordship) of Allah, the obligation to worship Him (alone), and the belief in the rest of the aforementioned pillars of Eeman. These are called *Asliyah* - the basic foundation.
*▫️Actions* are issues related to how actions are performed like Salaat (prayer), Zakaat (charity) and Sawm (fasting) and other rulings with regards to actions. These are termed as *Far'eyyah* - the branches because their soundness or corruption is based upon the beliefs.

Thus, the Correct Aqeedah (belief) is the foundation upon which the religion is based and with it, the actions are set aright, as the Most High, said, *'So, whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.'* [Soorah al-Kahf (18): 110] 
*And indeed, it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad), as it was to those (i.e., Prophets) before you, 'If you join others in worship with Allah, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers.'* [Soorah az-Zumar (39): 65]*.
