The questioner : When did religious innovation appear, or when did it become known?
The Shaykh : Religious innovations appeared in the later period of the era of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), but you will find them as innovations in specific matters, and then they spread until they reached the creed regarding Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The innovation of the Qadariyyah, which is the denial of the divine decree of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with regard to the actions of creation, appeared during the era of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Then the innovation of the Murji'ah came, followed by the innovation of the Jahmiyyah, which is the denial of the attributes or some of them. Whoever wishes to learn more about this should refer to the relevant works of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah or his student Ibn al-Qayyim.
