There are many things that we do today that has no basis whatsoever. If we go back to the source, Quran and Sunnah, we won't be able to justify them. Innovations, additions and subtractions rule the day and there are so many of them. A simple example would be the practise of reading the chapter 'Yassin' on Fridays. This is widely practise in this country. However, if we go back to the source, we will find that this practise has no basis. In fact, it is contrary to the Sunnah. On Fridays, the Prophet SAW actually asked us to read the chapter 'Al Kahfi'. We can never find a hadith (saying of the Prophet SAW) telling us to read 'Yassin' on Fridays but try telling that to our local mosques. It will fall on deaf ears. What is frightening is that there are many, many more similar examples.
