Abu Usamah - An Explanation of Bidah

About this lecture

In this comprehensive lecture, Abu Usamah at-Thahabi delivers an in-depth explanation of Bid'ah (religious innovation), covering its linguistic and religious definitions, its three distinct categories — Al-Bid'ah Al-Haqiqiyyah, Al-Bid'ah Al-Idafiyyah, and Al-Bid'ah Al-Tarkiyyah — and the major reasons why Muslims fall into innovation. Drawing on Quranic ayat, authentic ahadith, and examples from Hajj, daily worship, and contemporary Muslim practice, the lecture emphasizes that the deen is complete and that introducing or removing anything from it is a grave sin with serious consequences in this life and the next.
