Bid’ah (with citations from the Qur’an and hadith)

Bid’ah – Innovation in the religion of Islam

What is Bid’ah?

Innovation in Islam is the invention, creation or addition of any religious matter which was not originally found in Islam. It is not innovation in general life….like the invention of cars, planes, electricity etc. For aspects of worship or ritualistic behaviors in Islam there must be something in the Quran or the Hadith to explain and confirm its practice.
