Religious innovation means inventing a new way of worshipping Allah that was not originally included in the message revealed to Muhammad.
When a religious innovation is committed, it is generally felt that the innovator is assuming that the Quran and Sunnah is not good enough, that one must resort to something "better."

No, I meant Bid'ah. In Islam, bid‘ah (Arabic: بدعة) is any type of innovation. Generally, it refers to innovation within the religion.

In Pakistan....
- People celebrate the Prophet's birthday.
- There's a lot of grave worshipping.
- Having sort of parties... on the 3rd and 40th day after the death of a person.
- Fasting on days not prescribed by the Prophet.
- Praying on the graves of dead people, and not praying to God directly.
- Elevating the status of the Prophet to something divine.
- Belief in Charms, Amulets, Superstitions, Omens and even Quranic Charms.
I have also lived in Saudi Arabia and they generally don't have any problems concerning innovations.

Since I am from Saudi and Lebanon, so I am going to say about each..
first of all from what I've noticed, Saudi has the least innovations...which is great..since Islam is taught widely
anyway, in Saudi some people read the Fatiha in engagement agreement, or on the soul of the dead,wearing black for mourning which is considered imitating non-Muslims, and saying al niya out loud
in Lebanon it's a lot, women visiting cemeteries, getting people to read Quran while mourning, reading al fatiha as well (same as above), having another mourning after 40 days, then after a year and so on..
that's all I can remember..

I am American and living in Morocco.
There are many practices here in Morocco that are bidah.
Praying at the graves of pious men. Building places of prayer over their graves.
Dancing oneself into a stuper of hyperventilation (not very common but it is here).
There is a specific dua'a the government (the minister of religion is sufi) demands the imam's make after the maghrib prayer that is actually a form of shirk. They refer to the Prophet (pbuh) as the opener of all doors closed.

I am from palestine and you can say that it is not common here to find innocvations in worshiping God... But there are many misunderstanding about Islam's teachings those are common in the most of Islamic countries...
Peace!

Mevlut (in Turkey, I think it's Mawlid in Arabic), the birthday of our Prophet (s.a.w.s.) is a bidah
