2. Al‐Fakhr al‐Razi
Explaining these words of Him, the Exalted: Allah makes to pass away and establishes what He
pleases, and with Him is the basis of the Book, al‐Fakhr al‐Razi has said: (The Rafidites have said:)
"It is permissible for Allah (to practice) al‐Bida', that means that He believes a thing, then the
affair appears to him in a manner different from that which he believes."[2]
3. Ahmed Ameen
Dr. Ahmed Ameen has said: "We have seen that some Shi'ites maintain al‐Bida' the Jews have
denied. The earliest one to maintain it was al‐Mukhtar b. Abi 'Ubayd, who summoned (the people
to follow) Muhammed b. al‐Hanafiya. Al‐Shahristani has said: 'Al‐Mukhtar maintained al‐Bida'
because he claimed that he had knowledge of the occurrence of the circumstances either through

inspiration inspired to him or through a letter from the Imam. If he promised his companions that
something would happen and it happened as he had predicted, he used it as proof of his truthful
claim; and if it had not happened just as he had predicted, he would have said: 'Your Lord has an
opinion of it.' He did not differentiate between the abrogation and al‐Bida'; so if abrogation was
permissible in the (religious) precepts, then al‐Bida' is permissible in the traditions (akhbar).' Many
Shi'ites believe in the doctrine of al‐Bida' and used it in many of their historical subject matters;
and one of their Imams has said: 'Allah is not served (through a belief) better than al‐Bida'.' For it
opens the door to repentance in seeking forgiveness from Allah; and the Jews were the strongest
to oppose al‐Bida'."[1] These people have criticized the Shi'a for their maintaining al‐Bida', but
they have no opinion near to reality, that is because they do not understand the reality of al‐Bida'
in which the Shi'a believe.
The Jews deny al‐Bida'
The Jews were the first to deny and change al‐Bida'. They believe that when the pen of ordinance
and decree wrote the things in eternity, it was impossible for the will to associate with
(something) opposite and contrary to it. For this reason they have said: "Allah's hand is tied up
from expansion and contraction, taking and giving; that is because the pen of the ordinance wrote
it; therefore change and alternation is impossible in it."
