How can we confront the Rafidah and other misguided ideologies?

Question : A questioner says that some of the people of innovation, citing the Rafidah as an example, have spread in their lands and corrupted the beliefs of the youth with their resources and temptations. How can we confront this ideology and similar misguided ideas?

Answer : The truth, and praise be to Allah, is clear. The greater the bid'ah (religious innovation), the stronger the evidence of the truth becomes in refuting it. Innovations only cause harm when they are hidden; but when they are clear, the evidence for their invalidity is clearer and more evident. Therefore, obvious innovations do not deceive many people. Whoever reflects on what has passed in history and what is present will see that the clearer the bid'ah is, the fewer and more humiliated its followers become. So...
...confront innovations of any kind with the Sunnah. The Sunnah, and praise be to Allah, is clear, explicit, and apparent. For this reason, we advise our young brothers to read the books of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). They contain great knowledge in refuting the people of innovation in all their forms and colors.
