Question:
The statement of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) : [Surat al-Kahf: 103] Do the people of innovation fall under this?
Answer:
They have a share of the loss, but the complete loss is for the disbelievers who associate partners with Allah. However, there is a distinction regarding the innovator: if he commits disbelief, he is with them; and if he does not commit disbelief, he is in danger because of his religious innovation.
Q: When are the good qualities of the innovator not mentioned?
A: One who displays religious innovations is warned against, and his good qualities are not presented; because the objective is to warn against the evil, not to clarify the good qualities.
