Why Every Innovation in Religion Is Misguidance | Shaykh al-Albānī رحمه الله

📖 What Is Bidʿah? The Difference Between Religious Innovation and Worldly Innovation 🎙 Shaykh Muhammad Nāsir al-Dīn al-Albānī رحمه الله In this important reminder, Shaykh al-Albānī رحمه الله explains the Islamic understanding of bidʿah (religious innovation) and clarifies the difference between innovations introduced into the religion and newly introduced matters related to worldly affairs. The Shaykh discusses several authentic narrations of the Prophet ﷺ, including: • “Every innovation is misguidance.” • “Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which is not from it, it is rejected.” • The advice of the Prophet ﷺ to adhere to his Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. He also explains the famous principle of Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله: “The basic rule regarding religion is prohibition unless there is textual evidence, and the basic rule regarding worldly matters is permissibility unless there is textual evidence prohibiting it.” The reminder further clarifies why acts of worship must be based upon evidence from the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah, and why personal opinions and preferences cannot be used as a basis for introducing new religious practices. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📩 Corrections & Contact If you notice any translation errors or have beneficial corrections, please contact us: 📧 Email: [email protected] Constructive feedback is welcomed and appreciated. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 Subscribe for more: • Tawḥīd • ʿAqīdah • Sunnah • Refutations of Bidʿah • Fiqh • Fatāwā • Hadith Explanations • Translated Lectures of the Scholars May Allah reward the scholars of Islam, preserve the people of knowledge, and make this effort sincerely for His sake alone. #Islam #Bidah #BidahInIslam #Sunnah #Albani #ShaykhAlbani #Tawheed #Aqeedah #Salafi #IslamicKnowledge #Hadith #InnovationInReligion #AhlusSunnah #BeneficialKnowledge
