Abstract

The term "Bid'ah" holds significant theological weight in Islamic discourse, representing innovation or novelty in religious practices. These abstract aims to delve into the literal and terminological dimensions of Bid'ah, examining how the concept has been interpreted by revered Islamic scholars, known as imams, who have played a crucial role in shaping the understanding of this term. Bid'ah, linguistically, refers to something new or introduced, but within the Islamic context, its meaning extends beyond mere novelty. The imams, may God have mercy on them, have expounded on the concept, providing nuanced perspectives through their sayings and teachings. This abstract seeks to elucidate the multifaceted understanding of Bid'ah as articulated by these esteemed scholars. In the theological realm, Bid'ah is categorized into two types: praiseworthy and blameworthy. The praiseworthy innovation involves acts that enhance the understanding or practice of religion without contradicting established principles. On the contrary, blameworthy innovation introduces elements inconsistent with the core tenets of Islam. The abstract will explore the subtle distinctions between these categories, shedding light on the imams' perspectives. Furthermore, the abstract addresses the contemporary challenges associated with Bid'ah. In today's era, there is a need to discern between valid reinterpretations and innovations that deviate from the essence of Islamic teachings. Scholars emphasize the importance of distinguishing between Bid'ah and authentic practices to prevent the proliferation of misguided innovations. By analyzing the imams' viewpoints and examining the theological intricacies surrounding Bid'ah, this abstract contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the term. It serves as a resource for scholars, theologians, and individuals seeking clarity on the nuanced discussions surrounding innovation in the Islamic tradition, thereby fostering a balanced approach in navigating religious practices in the modern age.
