BUT FIRST………

What is Biddat (innovation in Islamic rituals)?

Inventions resulting from advancement in technology are not termed as Biddat (or

innovation) like computer, cell phone, space-shuttle etc. However, any new thing in Islamic

rituals, which is undertaken to earn good deeds but in fact it is not according to Qur’an and

Sunnah is a Biddat, and leads to displeasure of Almighty Allah!
