I guess where the gray area comes in (and there is a lot of gray area) is on what this means. I guess as I progress in the deen more, I realise that <I>every</I> group of Muslims has bid'ah, even in things that are part of the deen.<BR/><BR/>Every Muslim believes that he/she is following the Qur'an and Sunnah including those who celebrate holidays like Thanksgiving and Mother's Day. Muslims who do celebrate these holidays actually provide daleel from the Qur'an and Sunnah as well. <BR/><BR/>So I guess what I'm saying is that to a certain extent, there will always be difference in how we (the ummah) practice the deen because people have brains and they think differently. This includes scholars and lay people alike. Muslims will interpret the Qur'an and Sunnah in different ways. So things may not be as black and white as they appear on first sight.<BR/><BR/>~MMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484040395145769274noreply@blogger.com
