And i would never ever want you or anyone to fall into bidah, may Allah protect. I have a few ex.
1) Some people decide to fast every tuesday(not thurs or mon) , it will be bidah bcuz they thought that fasting on tuesday will give them more reward. This is a type of innovation.
2) Some people decide they will complete the whole quran on every thursday for the dead person but "thursday" isnt some sacred day ryt?
3)Some people decide they will fast as well as worship the whole night on 15 shaban when it isnt even in sahih hadith, so this is bidah.
These are few examples.
However if u elaborate ur whole plan , that way i will understand better in sha Allah.
Ameen, thanks for the duas sister
by the way sister im just discussing with you, not arguing with you whatsoever, okay :)
totally understand where youre coming from and your concerns Alhamdulillah,
but this is simply saying something along the lines of subhanAllah or la illa ilallah, astaghfirullah etc 1000x or 2000x per week etc etc,
the aim is simply to set a target, it isnt bidah to set a goal in islam, i.e im going to recite the whole of the Qur'an in ramadhan or ten Qur'ans throughout the year etc
if anything the sahaba radiallanhu majmaeen used to compete with each other fisabilillah for Allah swt sake and pleasure
with this zikr group the intentions are clear do zikr for Allah swt sake and pleasure,
whether that be repentence, praising Allah swt, glorifying Allah swt etc etc
this group will give you that little motivation and push, it will be weekly targets in sha Allah, so doesnt mean you have to partake every week, if and when you feel like it in sha Allah
