Take Your Creed from The Book and The Authenticated Sunnah

By Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Jameel Zaynoo
Translated by Maaz Qureshi

  Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem

SECTION 6 - SUNNAH AND INNOVATION

Q1. Is there a good innovation in the Religion?

A1. There is no good innovation in the Religion, and the proof is the statement of Allaah the Exalted:

"Today I have perfected for you your Religion, and have completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen Islaam as your religion." [Sooratul Maa`idah]

Q2. What is innovation in the Religion?

A2. Innovation in the Religion is an addition or a decrease in it. Allaah the Exalted said in dispraise of the innovations of the polytheists:

"Or do they have partners in the Religion who have legislated what Allaah has not given permission for?" [Sooratush Shooraa]

The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever innovates in this affair of ours that which is not from it, then it is rejected. [Agreed Upon] [rejected: not accepted]

Q3. Is there a good sunnah in Islaam?

A3. Yes, in Islaam there is a good sunnah. The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

 "Whoever takes a good sunnah in Islaam, then he has its reward as well as the reward of those who act upon it after him, without anything being decreased from their reward." [Bukhaaree]

Q4. When will the Muslims be helped?

A4. The Muslims will be helped when they return to the implementation of the Book of their Lord, and the sunnah of their Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), and when they take to the propagation of tawheed, and when they warn against shirk in opposition to its manifestations, and when they defend against their enemies with whatever is feasible from strength. Allaah the Exalted says:

"O you who believe, if you help Allaah, He will help you and establish you feet." [Sooratul Muhammad]

And He also says:

"Allaah has promised those who have believed from among you, and done righteous deeds, that He will grant them succession upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them their Religion which He preferred for them, and He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security. They Worship Me not associating anything with Me." [Sooratun Noor]
