520 |a This research looks into the young Malay-Muslims' perceptions on bid'ah and its practices in Singapore. It also studies the case of bid'ah in the context of the lives of young Malay-Muslims. Being a controversial issue in the Muslim community, bid'ah has been widely misinterpreted by Malay-Muslims due to its negative connotations. It is then spread to the young Malay-Muslims, a fragile generation with whom one needs to be extra careful when dealing with their intellectual and spiritual developments. The purpose of this research is to present a wide-range understanding on the concept of bid'ah, and indirectly, to provide another opinion on the mindset of Malay-Muslims who always perceive bid'ah as a negative concept. This study made use of library research to investigate the meaning and definition of bid'ah based on Muslim scholars' points of view, its history and origins, its most common practices within the Malay community, and its innovators and perpetrators. All of these will be presented in Chapter Two. In the third chapter, this study discussed the findings from the questionnaires distributed to one hundred and forty-six (146) young Malay-Muslims coming from both Madrasah and non-Madrasah backgrounds, and from the interviews conducted with five (5) young Malay-Muslims from various age groups. Based on the findings, a majority of the respondents understand the meaning of bid'ah and their position on the matter is neutral, depending on how serious it could impact their lives. The results also show that most of the respondents are aware of the issue and that awareness should also be instilled extensively so that young Malay-Muslims could receive proper guidance from religious experts. With the issue of bid'ah still debated within the Muslim community, this research also discusses the negative and positive effects of bid'ah on the lives of young Malay-Muslims in Chapter Four, with a brief discussion on Wasatiyyah, a concept that could positively impact on the issue of bid'ah in the present time. Chapter Five will discuss the conclusion and recommendations for future research.
