Taking knowledge from Ahlul Bid’ah
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Due to the weakness in the Ummah and lack of comprehension of the pure Islamic
methodology, it is common in our time that an ignorant person is taken as a person of
knowledge, and that an ignorant person assumes the role and responsibility of a speaker and caller to Islam. They (ahlu bid’ah) left the Qur’an and Sunnaah and spoke from their logic, and some of them even left the logic and looked for spirituality within a deed. And just because the knowledge got weak and silent, they started to appear higher and spread widely.

THE MESSENGER OF ALLAAH (SALLALLAAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM) SAID,
"WHOEVER INNOVATES OR ACCOMMODATES AN INNOVATOR THEN UPON
HIM IS THE CURSE OF ALLAAH, HIS ANGELS AND THE WHOLE OF
MANKIND."
REPORTED BY BUKHAAREE, 12/41 AND MUSLIM, 9/140

Our knowledge is pure from any innovation that is not part of Qur’an and Sunnaah. We should stick to Qur’an and Sunnaah and distance from the innovators and ahlul ahwa. If we sit with them or take knowledge from them , than people will start thinking that they are good and we will be the cause for them to follow. If we have a choice than the best decision is to search for Shuyukh’s with pure Aqeedah and following Qur’an and Sunnah. If we want to become closer to Allaah and follow the steps of Prophet Muhammad sallAllaahu alayhi wasallaam, and be like our first forefathers, than we should abandon the Every BID’ah and their People(ignorant). The best sentence in this book (ESK), to describe this is how a lot of books and biographies explains how ahlu sunnah defeated the bid’ah and its people, just like a healthy person distances from a sick person with infectious disease.

We are human beings, we are weak, are hearts change in a minute, so who assured us that we are not going to be affected if we stay with them (Ahlu Bid’ah)? Some scholars said: The hearts are weak, they easily digest the shubuhat-doubts. Allaahumma Ya Muqallibel Quluub thabit qulubena ala dinik.

BID’AH IS THE MOTHER OF EVERY SECT.

Imaam as-Saaboonee (d. 449H) said about Ahlus-Sunnah, "They follow the Salafus-Saalih the Imaams and the Scholars of the Muslims, and they cling to the firm deen that they clung to and to the clear truth. And they hate Ahul-Bid'ah (the People of Innovation) who innovate into the Deen that which is not from it. They do not love them and they do not keep company with them. They do not listen to their sayings, nor sit with them, nor argue with them about the Deen, nor debate with them. Rather, they protect their ears from hearing their futility; things, which if they pass through the ears and settle in the hearts, will cause harm and cause doubts and wicked ideas to appear. And concerning this Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, sent down: “And when you see people engaged in vain discourse about Our Signs, then turn away from them unless they turn to a different theme." Soorah al-An'aam (6):68 
Risaalah fil-I'tiqaad Ahlis-Sunnah Ashaabil-Hadeeth, p. 100, of Imaam asSaaboonee

From this all we learn that we need to be careful how we understand this Deen and what we teach other generations. Learning, getting knowledge from Qur’an and Sunnaah and understand the deen the way the first generation understood. We are proud and at the same time we ask Allaah to be of those who will protect the Sunnaah from different innovations. Amen
