Chapter Two: Condemning bid' ah (innovation) and mubtadi'in (innovators)<br />

'Umar did what he did because prayer in congregation is prescribed<br />

<strong>by</strong> Shari'ah. And al-l:Iasan said what he said about storytelling because<br />

admonition is prescribed <strong>by</strong> SharI'ah. If the innovated matter<br />

could be referred to a prescribed principle it becomes unworthy of<br />

condemnation.<br />

On the other hand, if a bid' ah is considered a fulfiller (to SharI'ah)<br />

then it would imply that SharI'ah is deficient. If the bid'ah contradicts<br />

(SharI'ah), then the matter is even worse.<br />

It becomes clear through what we have mentioned, that the people of Sunnah<br />

are the ones who follow, and people of bid' ah are those who come up with something<br />

that was not there before, and has no basis. This ir wl?J thry hide behind<br />

their bid' ah, while people of Sunnah never hide their doctrine. <strong>The</strong>ir speech is<br />

obvious, their doctrine is clear, and the end (success) will be theirs.<br />

they will never be harmed <strong>by</strong> those who goagainst<br />

them until Allah's order comes."'57<br />
