C.
BID'AT WAJIB: is that new action which has not been prohibited
in the Shari'at but to omit it will lead to critical complications
in the religion. For example, to put the expressions (I'raab)
in the Holy Quran such as Fatha (Zabar), Kasra (Zer) and Dhumma
(Pesh), to construct madressas for teaching the Holy Quran and
Hadith and to learn and teach the knowledge of nahv (Arabic
syntax), etc. are all Bid'at Wajib. Let's take an example of
the complication which the Muslims will face if one of these
things was to be omitted. Supposing the expressions of the Holy
Quran were to be erased, then millions of Muslims who are not
familiar with the Arabic syntax (Nahv - the learning of which
is also Bid'at Wajib) will not be able to read the Holy Book
correctly and will be sinful for reading it incorrectly.
D.
BID'AT MAKRUH: Is that innovation the performing of which
will lead to the annihilation of a Sunnah. If a Ghaiyr Mu'akkidah
Sunnah is annihilated then it is Makruh Tanzihi and if a Mu'akkidah
Sunnah is annihilated then it is Makruh Tahrimi. For example,
to pray the Eid Khutba in a language other than Arabic, etc.
is Bid'at Makruh Tahrimi.
E.
BID'AT HARAAM: Is that innovation which will lead to the
annihilation of a Wajib. For example, the introductions of beliefs
which are in contradiction with the Kitab and Sunnah, such as
Qadriyya who believe, that man has got all the power to do whatever
he wishes, and Jabriyya, who believe that man has got no power
at all and all actions are done under compulsion, whereas the
belief of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat is that man has been given
option in some things and is under compulsion in some. So to
believe as the Qadriyya or the Jabriyya will lead to the annihilation
of a Wajib which is Haraam. Many sects have been introduced
into Islam after the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "My Ummah
will be divided into seventy three sects and all will be in
Hell except one. That upon which I and my Sahaba are."
2.3 BID'ATS IN OUR DAILY RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
We
will now see that no worship in Islam is void of Bid'at-e-Hasana.
IMAAN:
Every Muslim child is taught Imaan-e-Mujmal and Imaan-e-Mufassal
whereas no such categories or names for Imaan were in practice
in the age of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
or the three blessed generations after him.(*)
(*)
By the three blessed generations we mean the ages of the Sahaba,
the Tabe'een and the Tab'e Tabe'een.
KALIMAH:
Every Muslim memorises six Kalimahs. These six Kalimahs,
their enumeration and their sequence that, this is the first
Kalimah, this the second, etc. are all Bid'ats which were not
there in the commencing period of Islam.
QURAN:
To divide the Holy Quran into thirty Paras (sections) and
to divide the Paras into Rukus, to put the I'raab (expressions
such as Zabbar, Zer, Pesh) in the Holy Quran and to have the
Holy Book printed by offset in the press are Bid'ats which could
not be traced in the commencing era of Islam.
HADITH:
To collect the Hadith in book form and state the chain or
narrators and to characterise the Hadiths by saying this is
Sahih, this is Hassan or Da'if, Mu'addaal or Mudallas, etc.
and to establish the commands with the help of Hadith such as
Makruh, Mustahab, etc. are all appreciable Bid'ats which were
not in practice in the blessed age of Rasulullah (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam).
PRINCIPLES
OF HADITH (USUL-E-HADITH): This whole branch of knowledge
along with its rules is itself Bid'at Hasana.
FIQH:
Now a days all the matters in our daily life depend upon this
knowledge because it contains the rules and commands for everything
which may come across our lives, but this field of knowledge
also is Bid'at Hasana.
USUL
FIQH AND I'LM-E-KALAAM: These two branches of knowledge
too, along with their principles and injunctions are all Bid'at
Hasana.
