The obligation of making all actions of the Muslim proceed in accordance to the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’i in the Tareeqah (method) and the Usloob (style)

A translation of a Q&A from the archives: Question and answer: 1) Allah has demanded that the Muslim proceed in all of his actions in accordance to the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’i without any exception for any action. Built upon that, all of the actions of the Muslim are obligatory to proceed in accordance to the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’i without there being any difference between that which is from the Tareeqah and that which is from the Asaaleeb (styles). This is because the speech of Allah (swt): وَمَا آَتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا And whatever the Messenger has brought to you take it and whatever he has forbidden you from abstain from it (Al-Hashr 7). Is general and encompasses every action and because the statement of the Messenger of Allah (saw): ‘Every action that is not upon our Amr (affair/matter) is rejected’ is general and encompasses every action.

Al-Bid’ah Explained

However there are actions for which the Shar’a came with a general Daleel (evidence) and therefore what falls under it is not called a Bid’ah. This is like studying Chemistry which is included under the evidences of knowledge, or it is like travelling for pleasure, making the Mahr (dawry) ten chickens, making a Minaret for the Masjid, the man uncovering his head in public, and lighting the Masjid by electricity or chandeliers.

The Hukm (ruling) by what Allah revealed

The following is a translation from an Arabic leaflet.   وَأَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَاحْذَرْهُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنُوكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ And judge between them by that which Allah h as revealed and do not follow their desires and beware that they seduce you from some of what Allah has revealed to you (Al-Maa’idah 49). Allah sent His Messenger Muhammad with the message of Islaam to the entire world, to guide mankind and to bring into being a global society upon a unique and distinguished form that differs from all other forms and types of human societies existing in the world as a whole. It made its Aqeedah a spiritual and political Aqeedah; assuming the responsibility of that which emanates from it and what is built upon it in terms of thoughts and Ahkaam related to the caretaking of the affairs of the Dunyaa and the Akhirah. It made its viewpoint in life different to all other viewpoints exist
