Sunna and bid'ah (innovation in Islamic faith)

We have often heard the debate about bid'ah (innovation) and sunnah (Prophet traditions). Even, the debate has some of the time led to disintegration. Though it is not necessarily so. In fact the difference is a grace as long as we are tolerant to any possible difference. Therefore it is really important for Muslims to find out what the bid'ah is, and which one could religiously be and not be followed?r />
According to Muslim scholars, bid'ah in worship is divided into two categories,

Hajj: Beyond the rituals

Hajj is the last of the five pillars of Islam. The other four are a declaration of faith in one God and in His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the five daily prayers, zakah (giving a percentage of one’s income to charity), and fasting during the month of Ramadan.

Celebrating the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) (1)

Rasulullah SAW had basically never commemorated his birth. We have so far never found a hadits/religious text explaining that on every 12 Rabi'ul Awwal, Rasulullah celebrated the commemoration of his birth. Even since his death, we have again never found his disciples (sahabat), tabi'in and tabi'in tabi'in celebrating it.

According to Imam As-Suyuthi, it is said that the first king celebrating the birth of Rasulullah SAW with a great commemoration festival is Al Mudhaffar Abu Sa'id Kukburi ibn Zainuddin Ali ibn Baktakin. He spent more than 300 thousand (dinar) sincerely to finance the festival. The festival was solely aimed at turbo-charging the fighting spirit by reciting poetry and story depicting the bir
