Lum'at ul Itiqad - Part 8

Lum'at ul Itiqad - Part 8 From the explanation of Shaikh Shaikh Zaid al Madkhaly read/taught by our brother Abu Muadh Taqweem Why do we stick to the understanding of the as-salaf as-salih? Everyone has their opinions on the deen but the correct opinion is what the early Muslims were upon. They learnt it from the best source, Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم. This is the correct understanding of Islam, as they witnessed the revelation. We follow this path not the path of others. Even if others beautify their statements with their eloquent or beautiful speech. Don't follow the social norms, stick the correct and true understanding even if the people reject you. You know you are upon that which is pleasing to Allah. Eventually people will be pleased with you, they will accept from you because they know you are sincere to your lord. Bidah is something that a person makes up himself, that was never in the revelation from Allah, never taught by Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم in the first instance. It is something that a person makes up himself, claiming its from Islam.
