Thank you. The definition seems to very new, so it's not yet in any dictionary I think.
Actually Wikipedia explains it even better:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novation@Kenan: I probably can't expand a whole lot. I'm sure you heard it said, when you were Muslims, that "bidah is in the hellfire". I'm merely asserting the opposite -- which is actually to assert quite a lot more. Because the Muslim sheikh recites basically restriction and constraint to zero movement, I'm reciting all systems go. He's saying nothing, I'm saying everything.
That it is through innovation, creativity,
separation -- in all things, particularly in matters of belief and religion -- that we can approach what some people have called "God".
And by separation I really mean novation, in the financial sense: exchanging one contract/covenant for another. At any point in time, apostasy and then novation. Always: toward Truth.
I am saying "God" exchanges one law for another. It's somewhere in the Qur'an. "God's law" is change: total abrogation of shariah. The laws are there to be broken, baby.
Not exactly Crowley's "Do what thou wilt" -- but rather a Tailorite "Do what wills."
