**Before any reply read the above link **
:mash: That means I can make three Sajdas instead of two, after all its not forbidden…Maybe I can fast 40 days instead of thirty, I love Allah :swt: so much, after all, it’s not forbidden…Can I also dance and sing praises of Allah :swt:? After all it’s not forbidden…What about breakdancing? Can breakdancing be part of Islam since it’s not forbidden? I am a great breakdancer…
The path has been set to walk upon…You deviate from the path or introduce a new path, you get lost and stranded…Simple as that…
As if enough gaps haven’t been introduced into Islam, someone comes up with this brilliant idea of ‘Answering Ansar’ based on ‘Answering Islam’ concept…And not to mention the wonderful chasm that the site builder is creating by referring to Salafis as a cult…:mash::mash::mash:

What about answering-Christianity and answering-bhaullah? same concepts?
Brother Intuit
I found this article that I posted to be very balanced.
Bid’ah is like fake currency that tries to drive out the good currency. By design it has the appearance of a virtuous religious act. But it lies outside the Shariah.
I mean so what’s so wrong with that.
Brother Intuit
Please, also refer to this article.

If this doesn’t open let me know. I will
post again.
take care
_“Say (O Muhammad to mankind): ‘If you (really) love Allaah, then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur’aan and the Sunnah), Allaah will love you and forgive you your sins’”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:31]
_“Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the Qur’aan and Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah), and follow not any Awliyaa’ (protectors and helpers who order you to associate partners in worship with Allaah), besides Him (Allaah). Little do you remember!”
[al-A’raaf 7:3]
_“And verily, this is My straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His path”
[al-A’naam 6:153]
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I urge you to follow my Sunnah and the way of the rightly-guided khaleefahs after me; adhere to it and cling to it firmly. Beware of newly-invented things, for every newly-invented thing is an innovation (bid’ah) and every innovation is a going-astray.” (Narrated by Ahmad, 4/126; al-Tirmidhi no. 2676).
If a person does anything in order to draw closer to Allaah which was not done by the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or enjoined by him, and was not done by the khaleefahs who succeeded him, this action implies that he is accusing the Messenger of not explaining the religion to the people, and that he disbelieves in the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):
_“This day, I have perfected your religion for you”
Who those right-guided Khaleefahs are ?
Just as Allah(swt), The Most High, appointed His Messengers for the guidance of mankind in the same way of the appointment of deputies, rightly-guided khaleefahs and successors for the Prophets was a matter of sheer neccessity!
Allah(swt), The Most High, appointed Twelve distinguished Holy Personalities, one after the other as successors of The Holy Prophet(pbuh) of Islam, starting with the First Holy Infallible Imam Ali Ibin Abe Taleb(as).
The Holy Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) had said
**In Sahih of Muslim: **
The Prophet (PBUH&HF) said: “The [Islamic] religion will continue until the Hour (day of resurrection), having **twelve Caliphs ** for you, all of them will be from Quraysh.”

Hadith #6682 (numbering of al-'Alamiyyah)
These Infallible Twelve Holy Imams, or the Leaders of all mankind, are very well know to all Muslims.
- Imam Ali Al-Murtatha(as)
- Imam Hassan Al-Mujtaba(as)
- Imam Hussein Al-Shaheed(as)
- Imam Zain Al-Abdeen Al-Shujjad(as)
- Imam Mohammed Al-Bakir(as)
- Imam Jaffar Al-Sadiq(as)
- Imam Musa Al-Kathum(as)
- Imam Ali Al-Reda(as)
- Imam Mohammed Al-Jawad(as)
- Imam Ali Al-Hadi(as)
- Imam Hassan Al-Askari(as)
- Imam Mehdi Al-Muntadar(as)
Still living and awaiting God’s Divine Command of his “SECOND COMING!”
These Twelve Imams(as) are, The absolute authorities of, Allah(swt), among all the mankind after The Holy Prophet(pbuh&hf)
Among the major signs of the Day of Judgment is the advent of Imam Mehdi. The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) predicted the coming of Imam Mehdi towards the end of this worldly existence, i.e. just before The Day of Judgment.
Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"If only one day is left for the end of the world, Allah will lengthen that day until a man from my family, whose name will be the same as mine, rules the world.” (Tirmizi Shareef)
**Brother inuit, ** you have quoted a lot of Hadith which show that Rasool Allah (saw) mentioned of 12 Khaleefs, in support of 12 Shia Imams – and it had nothing to do with topic at hand. But I will respond to your post above and let the rest carry on with the thread’s topic – Biddah.
Do you agree that Rasool Allah (saw) was very precise in conveying his message, and that he (saw) never used ambiguous language?
All the hadith that you have quoted mention that the 12 Khalifs will be from the Quraish; couldn’t he have been more precise by saying that the 12 Khalifs will be from his progeny if that was the case!
The Prophet (saw) never said that they (the 12 Khalifs) will be Imams in Shia-sense that the Imams will be infallible.
I am quoting a Hadith of Rasool Allah [saw]:
Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal extracted that Huthayfah said the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:“The Prophecy will remain amongst you as long as Allah wills, then Allah will lift it when he wishes, then it will be a Khilafah Rashidah (i.e.: The first four Khalifahs) on the method of the Prophecy, it will remain for as long as Allah wills, then he will lift it when he wills, then it will be a hereditary leadership (i.e.: the Abbasid and Ummayid dynasties etc.) for as long as Allah wills then he will lift it when he so wills. Then there will be a tyrannical rule for as long as Allah wills, then he will lift it when he so wills, then there will be a Khilafah Rashidah on the method of the Prophecy, then he kept silent.”
(Musnad Imam Ahmed 4/273)
We have four excellent ones from the Quraish [Hz Abu Bakr (ra), Hz Omar ibn Al Khataab (ra), Hz Uthman bin Affan (ra) and Hz Ali bin Abi Talib (ra)] and Insha’Allah will again have the remainder of them from the Quraish starting with Imam Mahdi (ra).
Note: Khalifs of Bani Omaiyyah and Bani Abbas were all Quraishis.
So the hadith that you have quoted are no ‘proof’ for the 12 Shia Imams.
Thank you for quoting this Hadith; Note that name of Imam Mahdi (ra) that Rasool Allah (saw) is alluding to is same as that of of Rasool Allah (saw) - Muhammad Bin Abdullah - is very different to the 12th Imam in your list - whose name is Muhammad bin Hassan Al-Askari!
Assalam Aleekum
Another interesting article.
Hadith - Abu Dawud, Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib The Prophet said, If anyone introduces an innovation in the religion, he will be responsible for it. (Good or bad). If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in the religion) he is cursed by Allaah, by His angels and by all the people.
Imaam ash-Shaafi’ee, rahimahullaah, said,
“That a servant meets Allaah with every sin except Shirk
is better than meeting Him upon any of the innovated beliefs.” _
Reported by al-Baihaqee in al-I’tiqaad (p.158)
Sir
apne yeh dubaara kue paste kardia.
:konfused:
Talk about leg-less article. The author argues that “salafis” allow celebration of kingdom but not other religious dates of interest. Is celebration of kingdom made part of religion? These two celebrations are entirely different, this by no means I approve Saudi kingship or whatever you call it. But comparing two ‘celebrations’ is nothing more than ‘apple vs orange’.
The Qur'an states:“ And it becomes not a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad (peace and pleassings of allah be upon him) have decided on an affair (for them), that they should (after that) claim any say in their affair; and whoso is rebellious to Allah and His Messenger, he verily goes astray in error manifest” (Qur'an 33:36).
it will just take a few minutes to read it.
I think in hurry you just read the main page of that article
There are more page: please read those pages you find legs(roots) over there.

You are right, I normally look for "links" within the article and not on left or right of it because most of the times link on left and right are for other purposes. Thanks. I'll go thru it later.
Is It always necessary to start with slandering CALIPHS.

No its not !
There is an Aalim of Ahle Sunnah who said that it is forbidden to tell the story of Karbala and Imam Hussain (AS) in (Majlis) people’s gathering because when you do it. It ALWAYS turns against the acts of Sahaba and expose it.
Similarly when you talk about bidah. It if better if you its root cause analysis. Once you start it will take you to beginning.
