TRANSLITERATION
Asbahna ala fitratil-islam; Wa’ala kalimatil-ikhlas; Wa’ala deeni nabi’yyina Muhammadin sallalla-hu alai’hi wasallam; Wa’ala millati abeena Ibrahima hanee’faan muslimah; Waama kana minal-mushrikeen.
TRANSLATION
We have risen the morning upon the fitrah of al-Islam, and the word of pure faith, and upon the religion of our Prophet Muhammad and the religion of our forefather Ibrahim, who was a Muslim and of true faith and was not of those who associate others with Allah.
BENEFIT AND VIRTUE
This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed my favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. Al-Maa’idah 5:3 So whatever was not part of the religion of Islam at that point should never be part of the religion of Islam today. The Sahabas r.a Taabi’een and Imams issued many warnings against innovation (Bid’ah). Hudhayfah Ibn Al-Yamaan r.a said: “Every act of worship which the companions of the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم did not do; do not do it”. Ibn Mas’ud r.a said: “Follow and do not innovate, for the religion is complete. Adhere to the old way ie: the way of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Sahabas”.
