Re: Shabe Barat

salam shikra, here is a definition of Bidah..

@Mufti Ebrahim Desai[askimam.org

Bid’ah is an Arabic word meaning innovation. According to Shari’ah, to include anything in Islam which was not present at the time of Rasulullah, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and the Sahabah, Radi-Allahu anhum, and regard such inclusion as a compulsory component (Fardh-waajib) of Islam. For example, the syllabus taught to children in a Maktab to enable them to read the Qur’an is permissible. To regard the syllabus as a compulsory component of Deen is Bid’ah. If anything that is permissible but projected as compulsory in Shari’ah is Bid’ah as that projects a distorted vision of Shari’ah. It is imperative to preserve the prestine purity of Shari’ah by condemning every act of Bid’ah. And Allah Taala Knows Best.

as he says, an act that we consider wajib, we do not consider shab-e-raat compulsory. also, we have much evidence regarding this night.

as for following a madhab please have a read here: Understanding the Four Madhhabs (with footnotes)

remember the old saying “Difference of opinion is a mercy” so we cannot just say one is right and one is wrong. http://www.paklinks.com/gs/religion-scripture/287699-etiquette-diference-opinion.html
