Have you ever tried to warn someone of an innovation only to have them come back and say that driving a car, using a computer and talking on the phone is an innovation too, so what you are calling an innovation cannot possibly be valid? Well if you have, I'm sure you have to stop yourself from rolling your eyes in frustrated disgust.
If we look at the hadith that best covers this issue we can clearly see that the innovation we are talking about has to do with innovations to the RELIGION, not everyday technological advances.
"Indeed, the most evil of matters in the religion are the newly invented ones, and every innovation in the religion is bid`ah, andevery bid`ah is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Hellfire."
I feel true embarrassment for those who use the 'well you drive a car' argument to defend some innovation that they are attached to. May Allah swt guide them and protect them.

Its been my personal experience that there are ignorant muslims on both sides of this issue (and others).
May Allah guide us all, Ameen.

i do know what you mean. using the cirucumstance of driving a car has nothing to do with religion itself so it holds no bearing when being compared with true bid'ah.
people are rediculous subanaallah.
phones, and computers, and cars and things like this have nothing to do with islam so why do they bring it up?
sunbanaallah
