Habits of Successful Muslims pt: 4

 There is a story about two men given one garden each, with grapevines and palm trees, given by Allah.

Ayat 18:33 said: "Each garden yielded 'all' is produce never falling short and wee caused a river to flow between them".

Ayah 18:34 said: "And he had other resources 'as well'. So he boasted to a 'poor' companion of his, while conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and superior in manpower".

After he wronged himself by insulting the 'poor' companion he said "I do not think that this garden will not perish, because I have taken all measures for the survival of the garden".

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.
