57.27

ثُمَّ قَفَّیْنَا عَلٰۤى اٰثَارِهِمْ بِرُسُلِنَا وَ قَفَّیْنَا بِعِیْسَى ابْنِ مَرْیَمَ وَ اٰتَیْنٰهُ الْاِنْجِیْلَ ﳔ وَ جَعَلْنَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُ رَاْفَةً وَّ رَحْمَةًؕ- وَ رَهْبَانِیَّةَ-ﰳابْتَدَعُوْهَا مَا كَتَبْنٰهَا عَلَیْهِمْ اِلَّا ابْتِغَآءَ رِضْوَانِ اللّٰهِ فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَایَتِهَاۚ-فَاٰتَیْنَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْهُمْ اَجْرَهُمْۚ-وَ كَثِیْرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ(27)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

Then We sent Our Messengers after them in their footsteps and We sent ʿĪsā, son of Maryam, and We granted him the Injīl (Gospel), and We placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. And monastic asceticism; they invented it, We did not make it incumbent upon them, however, they only invented it seeking Allah’s acceptance, then they did not observe it with the right of its observance. So We granted the believers among them their reward, and many of them are disobedient.[1]

Commentary

[1]

“Monastic asceticism” entails celibacy, giving up permissible pleasures, and living in self-imposed isolation. Here, asceticism itself has not been censured but extremism in it. There are many types of innovation (bidʿah) in the religion. If it is good and the intention is to please Allah, then it is good act worthy of reward and it should be continued. This is referred to as a good innovation (bidʿah ḥasanah). However it is prohibited and impermissible to invent a bad innovation (bidʿah sayyiʾah) in Islam which undermines the teachings of Islam and contradicts the Quran or Sunnah.
