Peace bro lethal kamikaze
Generally gathering people together for an event is a separate activity is often mistaken to be a religious practice … but when such is done in order to walk the footsteps of the salaf in order to gain what they gained, then this is not bidd’a … For example if some person decides to go out in to the mountains to think about his life for a short while and then return - he manages to get some spiritual benefit so if another person wants to achieve the same there is nothing in wrong in him copying that act … and from this a “way” is developed … but a “way” is not the same as “introducing new matters in to the Deen”.

Because a “way” will only encode practices and routines in such a way that skirt around and enhance the effectiveness or quality of the “required” practices …

Peace psyah bhai and for explaining this in detail. Allow me to input further to explain what is actually in my mind. By taking from your given example: that a person decided to go out in to the mountains to think about his life for a short while and then returned with some spiritual benefit so if another person wants to achieve the same there is nothing in wrong in him copying that act but what if this became a kind of trend although there is nothing wrong. Kindly note this trend will not come into existence over a night but it will be adopted very very slowly but effectively and I feel (I might be wrong) that one day it will be very hard to abundant this ‘way’ even if one wants too.

While in our gathering, when we don’t reach at any point we says to each others, lets start all over again from ‘Zero Point’ and that ‘Zero Point’ is ‘Qur’an and Sunnah of our Prophet PBUH’. But many of us don’t even wants to stat all over again. You can differentiate this by reading posts of all who posted here.

Moreover, one thought which never gets out of my mind that foremost of all ways, we have one ‘way’, that is the way of our Prophet PBUH, to follow. So do we still in need to follow other ways which comes second after the Prophet’s PBUH way?

Hope I was able to explain what we were exactly discussed with my friend.

P.S. I’m not saying I’m very knowledgeable and an expert but actually i’m started all over from Zero point and really need help to understand things better then before.
