Q & A
What is the main argument presented by Hara regarding the Hadith on starting something good?
-Hara argues that some people distort the Hadith where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that those who start something good will earn the reward for it if others follow. These people use this Hadith to justify innovations in religion, which they call 'bida husana' or 'good innovation.'
How does the speaker refute the concept of 'good innovation' in religion?
-The speaker refutes 'good innovation' by emphasizing that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) clearly stated in multiple Hadiths that every innovation (bida) leads astray and ultimately to Hellfire. The Prophet generalized that all innovations in religious matters are bad, leaving no room for the idea of 'good bida.'
What does the speaker say about the articulation of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?
-The speaker highlights that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the most articulate Arab and that his words were concise and full of meaning. Nothing he said was without intention or purpose, making his statements highly authoritative.
What is the significance of the Hadith regarding guiding people to righteousness?
-The Hadith states that whoever guides people to something righteous will earn the reward of those who follow without diminishing their reward. The speaker clarifies that this Hadith does not support innovation but encourages following good deeds that are already prescribed in Islam.
What example does the speaker use to explain the Hadith about starting a good deed?
-The speaker gives the example of when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged charity after seeing poor people in the mosque. A companion responded by bringing a large bag of charity, and others followed suit. The Prophet praised this action, but it was based on an established principle of charity in Islam, not an innovation.
Why does the speaker reject the idea of celebrating the Prophet's birthday (mawlid) as a 'good innovation'?
-The speaker rejects this by stating that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), his companions, and the following generations did not celebrate his birthday. Therefore, introducing this as a religious practice would be an innovation, which is prohibited in Islam.
What distinction does the speaker make between innovations in rituals and worldly matters?
-The speaker distinguishes that innovations in worldly matters, such as wearing a watch or using modern technology, are not considered innovations in religion. However, innovations in religious rituals or acts of worship are strictly forbidden.
How does the speaker describe the consequences of introducing innovations in religion?
-The speaker warns that those who introduce innovations in religious matters will not only carry their own sins but also the sins of those who follow them in these innovations, without diminishing the followers' own sins.
What is the speaker's stance on following scholars who support certain innovations?
-The speaker argues that even if some scholars support certain innovations, the words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) take precedence. Following these scholars would mean disregarding the Prophet's clear statements on the prohibition of innovations.
What should Muslims focus on to avoid falling into innovation, according to the speaker?
-Muslims should focus on following the Quran, the Sunnah, and the practices of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions. They should avoid introducing or following any religious practices that were not part of these original teachings.
Outlines
🤔 Clarifying Misconceptions About Innovation in Islam
In this paragraph, the speaker addresses the misunderstanding regarding the concept of 'good innovation' (bida husana) in Islam. It starts with people distorting the hadith of the Prophet (PBUH) about encouraging good deeds. The speaker emphasizes the importance of the Prophet’s words, asserting that every religious innovation (bida) leads people astray and ultimately to Hellfire. The speaker dismisses the idea of ‘good innovation,’ urging caution and criticizing those who claim to know better than the Prophet. He stresses that the Prophet explicitly warned against all innovations in religious matters, and the Prophet’s companions adhered strictly to these teachings.
💡 An Example of Charity in Islam – The True Meaning of Innovation
This paragraph recounts an incident where the Prophet (PBUH) encouraged charity during a time of need, which led to one companion taking the initiative to give a large donation. This action inspired others to follow suit, resulting in a pile of donations in the masjid. The Prophet praised this act, stating that anyone who initiates a good deed in Islam will receive a reward, along with the rewards of those who follow their example. The speaker highlights that this is not an innovation, as it is based on the Prophet’s explicit command to give charity, which is already established in the Quran and Sunnah. The speaker contrasts this with modern innovations in worship, which the Prophet and his companions never practiced, such as the celebration of the Prophet’s birthday (Mawlid), emphasizing that such acts are unauthorized and lead to sin.

Highlights
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the most articulate Arab, with concise and meaningful speech.
The Prophet always emphasized that every innovation (bida) in religion is wrong and leads astray.
Every innovation that leads people astray ultimately leads to Hellfire, as emphasized by the Prophet.
The Prophet used a generalization: 'Every innovation is bida,' meaning anything new introduced into religion that wasn't practiced by the Prophet or his companions is an innovation.
Some scholars have argued for the concept of 'bida hasana' (good innovation), but the speaker argues this contradicts the Prophet's statement.
The Prophet’s words about every innovation being wrong should not be challenged by scholars or others, as doing so questions the Prophet’s authority.
A hadith states, 'Whoever guides people to righteousness will have their reward and the reward of those who follow.' This has been misunderstood as supporting bida hasana.
The incident behind the hadith involves a poor tribe, and the Prophet encouraged charity, which led to immediate donations from his companions.
The Prophet encouraged giving charity, and one companion led by example. This inspired others to follow suit.
The hadith, 'Whoever initiates in Islam a good deed,' refers to actions already rooted in Islamic teachings, such as charity.
The speaker clarifies that there was no innovation (bida) in this incident since charity is well-established in the Quran and Sunnah.
The concept of 'good bida' in religious rituals is rejected since the Prophet and his companions never practiced such innovations.
The Prophet never celebrated his own birthday (mawlid), and neither did his companions, making such a practice an innovation.
Innovation pertains to rituals and worship practices, not technological or daily life advancements such as watches or airplanes.
The speaker warns that introducing innovations in worship, like post-prayer prostrations or blowing into a shirt, can lead to accumulating sins for those who follow these practices.
Transcripts
as Hara says some people distort the
hadith where the prophet salallahu
alaihe wasalam said if someone started
something good and people follow them in
that they will earn the reward for that
these people link this with innovation
and they call it bida husana a good
Buddha a good innovation can you
enlighten us on this please okay first
of all we have to set the ground rules
the prophet alayhi salatu salam is the
most articulate arab ever to walk the
earth and he was given the concise of
speech and his words are counted and
full of meaning and nothing is said just
like that without intending what's in it
every time the prophet has i'm used to
give grand sermons like they heed like
it's the scar like fridays he used to
emphasize that everything that is
innovated is a Buddha it's an innovation
and every innovation takes you astray
and everything that takes you astray
would lead you to Hellfire
he always reiterated this every
innovated things is a bidder every he
didn't say but he simply generalized
every so anything that is related to
religion and it's innovated the Prophet
didn't do it as some he didn't direct us
to do it the Companions didn't do it we
know that this is an innovation Who am I
who are you to come
say yeah yeah yeah but there is a good
innovation so are you telling me that
the profit when he said as I'm every
innovation is bad and takes you astray
so are you telling that his statement is
wrong and you know more what is this are
you a Muslim how dare you reject the
words of the Prophet as some as simple
as that
the I know I know there are scholars who
said that subhanAllah we're talking
about the Prophet of Islam some but
lawyers sell them and you're telling me
that there is Tom Dick or Harry who said
otherwise and you want to follow that
again are you a Muslim how is it
possible he said okay what do we do with
this hadith okay we move on to clarify a
misconception
what is the hadith whoever guides people
to righteousness or something that is
good he will have their reward and the
reward of all those who followed him
without it being missed on the day of
judgment so this is a clear statement of
good innovation okay let's assume that
can you please trace the origin of this
hadith hmm this is interesting and
challenging I will do my research so he
goes and he comes back with sahih
al-bukhari and the books of hadith
ancestors this is a hadith I found it
can you please tell me the incident that
took place he said okay
the incident was the Prophet was in the
Masjid saw a large salam and people from
modern the great tribe of newburgh went
or came in to the masjid but they had
clothes that were torn and signs of
poverty were apparent on them so the
prophets change of face are unchanged
and he rose the pulpit
and he addressed the people and he read
a verse or two of the Quran and then he
encouraged them to take a visor between
themselves and Hellfire through giving
in charity even by half a date not a
full date half of it it will help you
and the Companions were sitting there
listening to the sermon did not react
one come and the Prophet ended his
sermon who was waiting for the result so
one of the Companions rushed out of the
Masjid came back with a big bag almost
unable to carry it because of its
heaviness and placed it in front of the
Prophet I race a lot for cinema so it
was full of clothes charity food etc and
the moment companions saw this action
they immediately rushed out and came
back with whatever they could carry and
they piled a big pile in front of the
Prophet SM the Masjid and the prophets
face changed and became bright like the
full moon and he said and this is what
he said man sin fill Islam is Sunnah 10
husana whoever initiates in Islam a good
deed those who follow him will I credit
him with good deeds without them losing
any of their good deeds so he will take
like a rain check
because he's the one who started it and
the people followed suit
now this hadith is a clear indication
that there was no bidder involved 1 the
Prophet is the one who encouraged them
salallahu alaihe salam to donate and
give in charity to the companion
dead water prophet asked him to do did
he invent something new into the
religion nope
did he innovate a new prayer a new form
of Vicar nope
what did he do he gave in charity is
giving in charity mentioned in the Quran
yes is it mentioned in the Sunnah yes
did the Prophet order it yes allahumma
salli wa sallim ala muhammad then do
with all due respect will you come and
say throwing the mullet for the Prophet
arisu salam is a good bidder
a good innovation and I say okay did the
Prophet ever do such a thing
no did the Companions ever do such a
thing
nope did the tabie a never do such a
thing nope but still it's a good
innovation subhanAllah you will have all
the sins of those following you if you
innovate something in Islam now remember
that innovation deals with rituals with
forms of worship it doesn't deal with
wearing a watch or using a PDA or riding
a car or flying in an airplane these are
normal things that have nothing to do
with rituals and forms of worship but
when you come and say well after the
prayer is over
it is recommended that you put your hand
over your head and read dua or after
saying that ask are you open your shirt
and you blow inside of your shirt or
after fajar prayer is concluded and you
do your ask our and you're about to
leave it's good to offer a separate
prostration to thank Allah all of these
are bid on innovation and how many
people would follow you you will get
accredited with their sins without them
losing any of their sense you will come
on the day of judgement and find whoa
what the heck what is this I didn't do
all of these yes you did you guided them
or rephrasing it you misguided them
so this is a serious issue that we
should really be careful not to fall
into an Elan knows best
