[quote]Dear usmani790,

I would like to make some comments. First I would like to ask you to watch the video link I posted above.

Now it is agreed that we need to follow the directives of our prophet (s.a.w.). But the problem is the hadith literature contains some very conflicting accounts of his directives and how can we be sure something is what he really said. I understand you hold the four high imams in great esteem, and you follow their work, and also Imam Bukhari, Muslim, Dawood. But there are other muslims, example Shias, who might not hold their work in high esteem, and they have their own hadith literature from other scholars and great aalims. They will swear that the narations that came to them are authentic. Now whose hadith are you going to follow? In order to make an unbiased judgement, you must first study the other scholars work also (like Shia s).

Another thing I would like to add, about the innovation in religion, not every innovation in religion is bad. For e.g. tarawih prayer is an innovation, doing the adhaan twice for juma prayer is innovation, the imam speaking on the podium for khutba is an innovation, and the list goes on. An innovation that enhances the beauty of the religion is not bad.[/quote]
