Dr. Ali aims to uncover the complexities of Bid'ah in this illuminating study, analyzing its general principles and the destructive influence it can have on the unity and integrity of the Muslim community (Ummah). The author provides readers with a complete explanation of the origins, manifestations, and implications of Bid'ah by drawing on Quranic texts, Hadith, and historical context.
