Nothing new comes into being unless the new becomes old. No new crop comes up unless a
crop has been reaped. Those roots are gone whose off-shoots we are. How can an off-shoot
live after the departure of its root?
A part of the same sermon on innovation (bid`ah)
No innovation is introduced unless one sunnah is forsaken, keep away from innovations and
stick to the broad road. Surely the old tested ways are the best and the innovated ones are bad.
