About This Book:
Shaykh Hasan al-Mardawi offers an invaluable analysis of how innovated principles (bid’ah) can affect the Islamic Methodology (manhaj) and Creed (‘aqeedah) in this beneficial work titled; The Danger of Innovated Principles Upon Methodology & Creed. Using messages from the Quran and Sunnah as appropriate, this book stands as a valuable critique of Muslims’ ignorance of the Holy book’s teachings and a cautionary tale against relying on resources other than the Quran and Sunnah for guidance.
Understanding Innovated Principles (Bid'ah)
Chapters 24 to 26 in this book present Shaykh al-Mardawi’s understanding of how such changes in the area of innovation of religious practices and beliefs give rise to a gradual erosion of the correct Islamic methodology and creed. He however come up with a good definition of bid ‘ah term, stating it to mean any additions or changes that were not performed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions. Innovations such as these the author stresses often enter the Muslim culture insidiously and unobtrusively, gradually and slowly eroding the Muslims commitment to the original and pure teachings of their faith, Islam.
The Impact on Methodology (Manhaj)
Shaykh al-Mardawi states clearly the consequences of Atraf in Islamic methodology and stated they create deviation in the perceptions of Muslims concerning their religion. Socio-Cultural Innovations usually create confusion about the rights application of Islamic laws in the day to day life.
