The reader: "Among them is what is contained therein of the right becoming wrong and the wrong becoming right, and the ignorance of most people regarding the religion of the messengers, and the sprouting of the plants of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance
Among them is its inclusion of types of disliked matters in the Shari'ah, such as delaying the breaking of the fast, performing the 'Isha' prayer without hearts being present, and hastening to perform it early, prostrating after the taslim for other than forgetfulness, and types of dhikr and their amounts that have no basis, among other harms that only one whose insight is illuminated and whose inner self is sound can perceive. Among them is the nature's secret inclination to loosen from the bonds of following and the missing of walking the straight path, for the soul "
The Shaykh : This is the most severe of them. The most severe thing in religious innovation is this: that the nature is secretly drawn to this innovation without the person realizing it, until following becomes light for him and its weight becomes little in his estimation, and he becomes eager to innovate. Yes.
The reader: "And the missing of walking the straight path"
The Shaykh : And the missing, and the missing
The reader: "And the missing of walking the straight path, for the soul has a type of arrogance in it, so it loves to exit from servitude and following as much as possible, as Abu 'Uthman al-Nisaburi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 'No one left anything of the Sunnah except for arrogance in his soul, and this is a place for other things, so the heart peels off from the reality of following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and there comes into it arrogance and weakness of faith that corrupts his religion, or nearly so, while they think that they are doing well'
Among them is what was previously mentioned regarding the festivals of the People of the Book, of the harms that exist in both types of innovations: the type that has imitation, and the type that has no imitation. As for the speech on the condemnation of religious innovation, since it was established in other than this place, we did not lengthen our speech in establishing it, but we mention some of the specifics of these seasons "
The Shaykh : (may Allah have mercy on him) Yes.
