Bid’ah Hasanah: The Misunderstood Term | Clarifying Innovation in Islam by Sheikh Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin | Authentic Islamic Aqeedah Book

Bid’ah Hasanah: The Misunderstood Term is a powerful Islamic book that explains the controversial concept of “good innovation” in Islam. Written by Sheikh Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, it provides a clear, evidence-based understanding of Bid’ah using Qur’an, Hadith, and scholarly analysis, helping readers avoid misconceptions and follow authentic Islamic teachings.

From Author:

This book addresses one of the most debated and misunderstood concepts in Islam—Bid’ah Hasanah (so-called “good innovation”). The author aims to clarify confusion that has arisen among Muslims regarding what constitutes permissible and impermissible innovation in religious matters.

Through careful analysis of Islamic sources, this work highlights how innovations have historically impacted religious communities and emphasizes the importance of preserving the purity of Islamic teachings. The discussion is not based on emotion or cultural practices, but on authentic evidence derived from revelation (Wahy), including the Qur’an and the Sunnah.

BID'AH HASANAH THE MINNSTOOD TERM Bid'ah (Innovations in the religion) pose serious threats to the purity and authenticity of Islam. The true teachings of the previous Prophets were destroyed due to the innovations their followers turned to, away from their Prophet's guidance. Hence, the great scholars of Hadith in their various books made sure to include chapters regarding the dangers of Bid'ah, which the Prophet Muhammad, had warned sternly against. In this treatise, the Author focussed on the Bid'ah Hasanah (Innovations that is "good") in order to explain the misunderstandings around it among the public, and to establish the truth based on concrete and verifiable evidences. This is because many people often employ the concept of Bid'ah Hasanah as a pretext to justify their innovations in Islam. Of course, this issue cannot be appropriately discussed with emotions and without the guidance from revealed knowledge. On the contrary, this topic must be evaluated in the light of Al-Wahyu (Divine Revelation) and with a mind ready to admit and accept the truth regardless of whom it has come from. Al-Imam as-Shafi'e (d. 204H) affirmed: "Every issue about which I have given a view (later known to be) contradicting the Sunnah; I hereby retract it, whether during my life or after my death." www.dakwahbookstore.com DAKWAH CORNER BOOKSTORE ISBN 978-967-5699-99-3 789675 699993
