108: The roots of innovation are four….

May Allah ahev mercy upon you! Know that the roots of innovation are four. From these, seventy-two innovations branch off, each of these have offshoots, so that they amount to two thousand eight hundred. All of them are misguidance. All of them are in the Fire except for one, which is those who believe in that contained in this book, believing in it firmly, without having any doubt or uncertainty in their heart. Such a person is a person of the Sunnah and one who is saved, if Allah wills [1].
