Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller on Bid'ah
Its an ancient article that is hard to find on this site, but I think for those interested in learning more about the intricacies of bid'ah will find it interesting.

What happens after death?
If you've been good you go to heaven and if you've been bad you go to hell. Is that it?
Either way, apparently your soul gets a day off on Thurdsay. Can go back to Earth and see loved ones and watch them reading Quran and Dua's for you.
And then you can take that reward back and use it to expunge some of your sins and reduce your afterlife punishment (if you're getting any).
OR SO I'VE HEARD
Can anyone confirm that this is the case or confirm that it's made up?
I need / want to know.
· Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, he had been with us for many years.

· No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost.

With Mawlid un nabi, I know that some people are not sure on its validity. But something strange happens at this time of the year every year:
Some people celebrate mawlid and get on with it.
Then there are some people who dont celebrate it who get on with it.
Both of these groups are trying to act on Islam on the way they consider the the best way to follow the Qur'an and sunnah with sincerity. Both can be deeply admired as long as you are willing to understand the reasons for their views and actions.
But then there is a third way, that I dont get - those that get a pain in their stomach when mawlid is celebrated (with the performing of ibadat, lets not pretend that its because someone might do something that is considered unislamic behaviour).

Learn to see each moment as it’s own birth–entirely separate from the moment that proceeded it, and from the moment that will follow. Each moment is a new existence, a new world in which we will be born and will die. Our problem is that we become enslaved to the moments that have passed, enslaved to old worlds that have already passed away. But in reality, more than a thousand times a day, we are born. Yet many of us choose to just let ourselves die again and again, as each new moment fades. We forget that each birth is a new opportunity to start over, to turn around, or to keep going. To rise higher, to heal, to grow. To be different. Better. Each new moment calls for transformation, renewal, return. Tawbah. But we’re too busy dying.
My New Word: 'Blesson'.
It's when you're able to view painful lessons as blessings. In other words... A BLESSON is what happens when you see the blessing in the lesson that your challenge taught you.
