This paper seeks to unravel the meaning of Bidah Hasanah
In Islamic jurisprudence Bidah Hasanah has a contentious meaning that is described as good innovation in Islam. The term Bidah simply translates to the creation or any event that is new while Bidah Hasanah specifically refers to that creation or new event that is considered to be positive. However, this difference may cause confusion especially because any thing that relates to Bidah seems to be regarded as evil according to the teachings of Islam. Nevertheless, Bidah Hasanah involves actions or practices that may not be prohibited in Shari’ah but adds value or brings convenience in worshipping or in any Islamic public interest.
Myth and Disputation
They are called Bidah Hasanah which, in due course, became an issue of controversy among Muslims and their distortions. There are those who are of the view that, there is no form of innovation that is permissible in Islam and that all form of ijtihad is unlawful, and there are those who believe that there is permissible ijtihad in so far as the innovations that are being practiced conform to the intentions and spirit of the Islamic faith. Such understanding provides different perceptions resulting to conflict as to the permissibility of innovations and practices developed after the end of the prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions.
Examples and Applications of Bid’ah Hasanah
In order to clarify Bidah Hasanah, it is possible for one to refer to examples of history of Islam. For example the act of collecting Quran as a single book in the time of Caliph Abu Bakr and then the unification of Quran text by the Caliph Uthman are examples of Mustahhab innovations. Although these actions where not done by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to an extent they where beneficial in helping to protect the Quran and therefore are seen by many scholars as Bidah Hasanah.

About This Book:
Introduction to Fabricated HadithTechnically, Hadith refers to the saying and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.S); Hadith serves as a most crucial aspect of the Islamic faith and practice among the populace. Nevertheless, a number of Hadiths have been indeed forged with the passage of time and they are surrounded in an attempt to meet certain political gains. This has had serious implications on Muslims and at some point produced wrong interpretations about the religion of Islam.
How Fabricated Hadith EmergeFabricated Hadith usually came into light when there were political, social or ideological tensions existed. People or communities would quote the Prophet in specific situations to justify actions they would undertake, beliefs they harbored and even the policies they supported. These forged Hadith further preach different from the teachings of Islam and therefore mislead the people besides dividing the society.
Impact on Islam and its Preceptsinnovations have brought into the fabric of the religion concepts and practices that are alien to genuine Islamic teachings. As these false sayings were in circulation, they generated misconceptions about the norms of the Islamic Shari’ah. This has resulted into practices that are incongruent with the message communicated in the Quran and the authentic Hadith and sometimes Muslims practice what is actually an invention of ignorance.

Purification of the Soul: Concept, Process and Means

About This Book:
For a number of reasons, this is a very important time to be writing a book of this nature. First, the concept of purification of the soul as a whole is and always will be central to the message of Islam and to the welfare of humans, both in this life and the Hereafter. Indeed, it was a main mission of the messengers and prophets themselves. Second, there is a very strong need to shed light on the correct path of purification as delineated by the Quran and Sunnah- free of the foreign influence, deviations and heresies that have found their way into the realm of the religion and have caused a great deal of harm. The path described by the Quran and Sunnah is the only path that can result in a true purification of the soul. Indeed, it is the only path that is truly consistent with the purpose for which humans were created. Hence, any discussion of purification of the soul must rely heavily and exclusively on the Quran and Sunnah and what can be correctly derived from those two sources. Third, many Muslims themselves are today being influenced by secular, materialistic psychology, leading them to neglect the spiritual side of humans and to ignore the guidance that Islam offers for the purification of the soul. This influence often occurs at a level wherein the person himself may not be completely aware that it is occurring.
