May you never know peace throughout this year and next.

Dear Nigerians

Innovations in this context does not refer to technological innovation. It means religious innovation. It is called bid'a in Islam.

Bid'a means to introduce acts of worship that are not in the Qur'an and hadith.

Whoever innovates or invents any act of worship in islam, it will not be accepted from him.

An example of bid'a is would be praying four rakkah in maghrib prayers while the religion states that maghrib is three rakkah.

Or fasting every Friday.

Or just any other act of worship that is invented where it is obviously not in the tenets of Islam.


It would be misinforming the public to bring a picture like the one you uploaded and use it in this context. It is quite obvious that the institution in this case is in OYO state and not even in any northern state. Yoruba's are known for scholarly attributes and are in the forefront of technological innovations. This is encouraged in Islam.

May Allah save us from the enemies of Islam who are out to orchestrate confusion and incite hatred. Ameen
