How to say “innovation” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ولا يزيدُ الإيمانَ علمًا ولا يقينًا؛ بل قد يفتحُ بابَ التخييلِ والبدع
and it neither increases faith in knowledge nor certainty; rather, it may open the door to delusion and innovations.
وَالْبِدَعِ — and innovations. 'and of innovations', joined by 'wa', a second genitive owner of 'the door'. Broken plural of 'bid'a'; paired with delusion as what the bare practice risks unleashing.
