Youth Talk Class: 17

Bid'a are things that were brought into Islam that are not in the sunnah, such as acts of worship that are added to Islam.

Allah's messenger said, "The worst of things are those that are newly- invented every newly-invented thing is an innovation and every innovation is going astray, and every going astray is hellfire".

There are two groups, one group believes that there are two kinds of bid'a (good and bad bid'a), and the other group (mostly shia muslims) believes only one group of bid'a which is only bad bid'a.
