So my brothers, look at the bid'ah. Bid'ah starts small.
Br Shamsi explains why certain common practices after salat are bid'ah and emphasizes adhering strictly to the sunnah.
Key Takeaways
- Not all common practices are from the sunnah; some are bid'ah.
- Post-salat greetings and handshakes are innovations and should be avoided.
- Adherence to the sunnah must be prioritized even if it goes against popular customs.
- Understanding the difference between permissible greetings and bid'ah is crucial.
- Firmness on the sunnah is a sign of true love and commitment to the Prophet's teachings.
Summary
- Bid'ah (innovation) often starts with small, seemingly harmless actions.
- Greeting people with salam and shaking hands after salat is not part of the sunnah.
- Saying salam before salat to someone you haven't seen is permissible.
- Making post-salat greetings a regular practice opposes the sunnah.
- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not instruct the Sahaba to greet each other after salat.
- Following the sunnah is more important than popular opinion or majority practice.
- Firmness on the sunnah requires love for it above self and family.

Like now, you see how many people you see them just before salat, you say salam to them, how are you, everything.
Speaker A
After the salat finishes, he says, "Salam alaikum," he starts shaking people's hands. Why are you doing this?
Speaker A
This is not sunnah, barakallahu feek, except if you haven't seen the person before the salat, you say salam to him because you haven't seen him.
Speaker A
But now it become like sunnah way, every time salat finish, "Salam alaikum, salam alaikum, akhi, salam alaikum." Akhi, leave it, ya akhi.
Speaker A
A person might say, "What is the problem with just saying salam?" The problem you have opposing the sunnah.
Speaker A
Did Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam tell the Sahaba after you finish the salat, say salam to each other?
Speaker A
So now, we're going to follow the sunnah, bi idhnillah Jalla wa 'Ala, and we ask Allah to keep us firm upon the sunnah, even if the majority of people hate us.
Speaker A
Because we love the sunnah more than anyone else, more than ourselves, more than our families.
Speaker A
And we ask Allah to keep us firm upon sunnat al-Mustafa alaihi salatu wassalam.
