is saying (innaka la tukhliful mi’ad) in the dua after Adhaan is innovation?
This dua is to be recited after adhaan > Allahumma rabba hadhihi-d-da’awati-t-tammati wa-s-Salati-l-qa’imati, > ati Muhammadan il-wasilata wa-l-fadilata (wa-d-darajata-r-rafi’ati) > wa-b‘ath-hu maqamam mahmudan illadhi wa‘adtahu Reference : [Sahih al-Bukhari 614][1] But almost everyone adds this ext...
This dua is to be recited after adhaan
> Allahumma rabba hadhihi-d-da’awati-t-tammati wa-s-Salati-l-qa’imati,
> ati Muhammadan il-wasilata wa-l-fadilata (wa-d-darajata-r-rafi’ati)
> wa-b‘ath-hu maqamam mahmudan illadhi wa‘adtahu
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 614
But almost everyone adds this extra verse when reciting that is not part of the dua.
> (innaka la tukhliful mi’ad)
I heard that this is an innovation, since it's not part of the dua. Like some say
sadaqallahul azim after reciting Quran.
So is saying **(innaka la tukhliful mi’ad)** with that dua an innovation?

Is this miswak (tooth stick) method from authentic sunnah?

I was watching this [clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD0_d5upgYM) from the founder of [Dawateislami](https://www.dawateislami.net/) . There are some things which are new to me about the use of miswak (tooth stick):
1. Miswak shouldn't be longer than a hand-span as it will cause Satan to sit on it [0:22]
2. One should not clinch with the fist as it will cause piles [0:37]
3. While washing miswak, recite salawat or better to include "Ya Qadir" [0:47]
**Question:** Are these practices from the authentic sunnah?

Who and when did this bid'ah for the first time in adhan?
In Sunni Islam adhan (اذان) is as follows: > اَللهُ اَکبَر (4 times) > > اَشهَدُ اَن لا اِلَهَ اِلَّا الله (2 times) > > اَشهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّد رَسُولُ الله (2 times) > > حَیِّ عَلَی الصَّلاة (2 times) > > حَیِّ عَلَی الفَلاح (2 times) > > حَیِّ عَلَی خَیرِالعَمَل (1 time) > > اَللهُ اَکبَر (2 times...
In Sunni Islam adhan (اذان) is as follows:
> اَللهُ اَکبَر (4 times)
>
> اَشهَدُ اَن لا اِلَهَ اِلَّا الله (2 times)
>
> اَشهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّد رَسُولُ الله (2 times)
>
> حَیِّ عَلَی الصَّلاة (2 times)
>
> حَیِّ عَلَی الفَلاح (2 times)
>
> حَیِّ عَلَی خَیرِالعَمَل (1 time)
>
> اَللهُ اَکبَر (2 times)
>
> لا اِلَهَ اِلّا الله (2 times)
But in Shia Islam there are execssive parts between two of the parts:
> اَشهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّد رَسُولُ الله (2 times)
>
> **اَشهَدُ اَنَّ عَلِی وَلیُ الله** (1 time)
>
> **اَشهَدُ اَنَّ عَلِی حُجَّةُ الله** (1 time)
>
>حَیِّ عَلَی الصَّلاة (2 times)
The adhan that was recited by the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) and his companions clearly was the Sunni version.
But somewhere in history Shiites did this bid'ah in adhan. Now in Iran I know the Shiite version is recited.
Who and when did this bid'ah?

If we were to accept that the celebration of the birthday of the Prophet is permitted, is it a good thing to do? If we accept that the celebration of the birthday is haraam, then obviously it can't be a good thing.

After Fardh salah saying a wazifah then blow on your fingers and rub your eyes Sunnah?
Some Muslims after a Fardh Salaah recite a wazifah (Allah's name or Ya Nur or Quranic ayah) so many times you then blow on your fingers and rub over your eyes. Virtue of doing so is Allah will strengthen your eyes and protect them from seeing haraam. Is this proven from the sources or bid'ah please?

Is decorating the grave with flowers allowed it bid’at
My grandfather has recently passed and I heard from a relative that they are planting flowers for him by his grave. I have read in a kitaab that it’s considered bidah . And I want to tell them to remove the flowers but I need proof.

As Salamu Aleikum
My First question: i am seeking the help of my senior and brothers today concerning gathering to recite the full Quran whereby anyone will be reading a Juz or two.
I recently heard that is somehow an inovation (bida'a) so i have been thinking about a lot because i do give myself to such event that we hold every
friday morning and when one of us is in need of help, so i went online to make some researches concerning this topic and i almost all the islamic platforms
i've visited say that the way we've been doing it is an inivation in a way. So i have this strong doubt about it since then and i couldn't ask my imam because
we practice it at his house and most of the imam and big sheikhs in our erea practice it so my only solution was the internet and i'm still learning arabic
i have not reach a level where i will start learning the hadiths and the Fiqr.
My second question is since i am having a strong doubt i wanted to come up with lie so that i could escape in the participation of such event...
PLEASE I AM A BTROTHER IS DISTRESS, I WOULD SERIOUSLY BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

**Is there any perspective that, we can say/call Shia Muslim or Sunni Muslim? Is not it sin/bidah ?**
***Quran Verse***
>Indeed, those who have ***divided their religion and become sects*** - you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything. Their affair is only [left] to Allah; then He will inform them about what they used to do. [Surah Al-An'am Verse 159]( https://qurano.com/en/6-al-an-am/verse-159/)
>And hold firmly to the **rope of Allah all together and do not become divided**. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.
[Ali Imran : 103]( https://qurano.com/en/3-ali-imran/verse-103/
>Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and **we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.**"
