This brief article is aimed at directing readers' attention to this Bid`ah so that they will know the truth about it. I wrote long articles about this which were published in local and other newspapers more than once. Undoubtedly, government and media officials in particular and officials in Islamic countries in general are required to prevent the spread of this Bid`ah, the call to it, and the publishing of anything that may delude people to its impermissibility. By doing this, they will be carrying out the duty of offering advice for Allah's Sake to His Servants, resisting evil, and participating in setting Muslims' affairs aright and eradicating anything that contradicts the Purified Shar` (Law). Allah with His Most Beautiful Names and Attributes is responsible for rectifing Muslims' affairs, guiding them to adhere to the Qur'an and Sunnah and be mindful of all that disagrees with them, and guide their leaders to seek judgment from Shari`ah (Islamic law) and resist anything that opposes it. It is Allah alone who indeed is Capable of doing so.
May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
