"STRIVING TO BE MUSLIMS WITH TAQWA ANDSTRENGHTENING BOND OF UNITY "
The document discusses the concept of bid'ah or innovation in Islam. It notes that Islamic scholars differ in their definitions of bid'ah, with some strictly regarding anything not done by the Prophet as bid'ah and therefore reprehensible. However, the majority view is that not all innovations are negative - some new things that have a valid basis in sharia and don't contradict the Qur'an and sunnah can be acceptable, even if a new type or method. The document aims to clarify different perspectives on this controversial issue in Islamic jurisprudence.
This document outlines lessons from a beginner's course on Islam conducted in English for adults. The lesson summarized here is on "The Basic Message of Al-Islam". It discusses key concepts including the oneness of God, rejection of worshipping anything besides God, and that Abraham, Jesus and Muhammad all conveyed the same core message - to worship one God alone. The document uses verses from the Quran and references from the Bible to support these points.
