Proof of Bid'at-e-Sayyia from Quran and Sunnah
One can find many hadiths on Bid'at-e-Sayyia. The following one is narrated by Imam Bukhari & Imam Muslim in Mishkat Muslim, Bukhari Chapter Ihtisam.

The second said: 'I will fast (sawm) all the time.' The third said: 'I will never marry.'

He presents the themes and elements of the pre-Islamic society, including its tribal culture, economic culture, religious background, prominence of poetry (how the Qur’an situates itself in relation to the poetry of the “Jahileen”), and discusses gender issues (particularly infanticide of daughters).

Akzia: After the Germans invaded Lvov and made several changes, rumors spread throughout the town of an akzia, which is Polish for the deportation and killing of a group of people. The first akzia in Lvov was for children, which made Aurelia too upset and anxious to do anything. Her dad had already started to build a hiding place for her in a wardrobe. One morning, she woke up to outside shrieks signaling the akzia; Aurelia’s first reaction was to hide. When the Nazis came to search the house, Aurelia’s dad, Isaac, told them that she was already taken, but that did not stop them from searching. They were very close to finding her, but lucky did not. Later on, there were a couple more akzia; there was one for the elderly, and two akzia for all Jews, which the Gamzer’s luckily escaped.
The Holocaust is portrayed in various ways to help others comprehend and appreciate the extreme atrocities that occurred. One such Holocaust portrayal is the Dachau concentration camp. The history of Dachau contains a beginning, middle, and end, much like stories today.

It's a lesson for all humanity.

Athens was a society founded upon rational thinking, individuals acting for the good of the populace, and the “ideal” society. This is what scholars commonly refer to as the Hellenic age of Greek culture.
