BID`AT
By: Moulana M. A. Okarvi (A.R)
Bid`at, be it small or big, is still Bid`at,
other than astrayness and misguidance, what
else is it?
1. According to the dictionary, Bid`at is every new thing, whether it is
related to one=s Ibaadat (acts of worship), or Aadaat
(habits).According to the Shariah, the definition of Bid`at, is every
innovated act of worship introduced into the Deen, after the demise
and era of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the Sahabah-e-
Kiraam (radhiAllaahu anhum), and it is done with the hope of extra
Thawaab (reward). Notwithstanding the fact that the means and
motive of carrying out this act was present during the era of Nabi
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the Sahabah-e-Kiraam
(radhiAllaahu anhum) but it is not established as being practised by
them, neither by word, nor action, nor was it clearly nor indirectly
implied.
This definition of Bid`at was taken from the kitaab >At-Tareekatul
Mahmoodia= by Allaama Barkali and from Allaama Shaatbi=s kitaab >Al-
I`tisaam=.
2. There is no option of changing, altering, adding or subtracting from
the orders of Allaah Ta`ala and Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi
wasallam), be they regarding Aqaaid (basic beliefs), laws regarding
external actions or other general laws. The one who does this,
comes under the displeasure of Allaah Ta`ala and His Rasool
(sallallahu alaihi wasallam). This changing, altering, adding and
subtracting is known as Bid`at. Bid`at is not every new act, it is that
new act, which is not included or part of those actions which we are
-2-
ordered to carry out. [>Fuyoodh-e-Qaasimia= page 44 - 46]
3. Those acts which are apparently contrary to the Shariah are known
as Bid`at. The perpetrator of this act is a Bid`atee (Mubtadee).
Bid`at is one such path, which is similar to the paths of the Shariah.
Those treading upon this path, do so in the hope that they are
receiving the blessings of Allaah Ta`ala. A Mudtadee (Bid`atee) is
one who regards himself as being up-righteous and religious, whilst
he acts contrary to the Sunnat.
4. Bid`at is to introduce into the Qur`aan Shareef, Ahaadith and the
complete laws of Fiqh , something or belief which is new. Bid`at is
to introduce something different (i.e. not conforming to the limits of
the Shariah) into any permissible or Mustahab act, thinking it to be
worthy of Thawaab. [>Al-Bid`ato wa Haqeeqatuha=]
5. In the Shariah, that thing will be termed a Bid`at, which is contrary
to the Sunnat. [>Fathul Baari= page 179, vol.4]
6. Bid`at is that innovation, which was not practised by the Sahabah-e-
Kiraam (radhiAllaahu anhum) or the Taabi`een (rahmatullahi
alaihim), and it does not find favour with any Shar`i proof. [>At-
Ta`rifaat= - Jurjaani, page 37]
7. Bid`at is that thing which has no origin in the Shariah, which
indicates towards it. Those things which have an origin in the
Shariah and it has some indication towards it, is not regarded as a
Bid`at, in Shar`i terms. However, according to the dictionary it will
be termed Bid`at. [>Jaamiul Uloom wal Hukm= page 193]
8. Those things are regarded as Bid`at, whose origin is not proven from
the Shariah, i.e. it is not proven from the Qur`aan and the Ahaadith,
and it did not exist during the era of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi
wasallam), the Sahabah (radhiAllaahu anhum) , Taabi`een or Tab`e
Taabi`een (rahmatullahi alaihim). And it is done or left out, under
this misconception that it is a part of the Shariah. [Hadhrat Moulana
