Hate-preacher Zakir Naik continues barking

0

Notorious fugitive and hate preacher Zakir Naik, who is responsible for a number of jihadist attacks in the world, including the 2016 terrorist attacks in Dhaka’s Holey Artisan Bakery has recently claimed that Christian evangelist Mother Teresa is burning in hellfire for not being a Muslim.

On being asked whether ‘righteous’ and ‘good’ non-Muslims such as Mother Teresa would still go to Hell, he replied, “There are four ways of going to Jannah (paradise). By the token of time, a man is in a state of loss except those who have Faith, those who are righteous, those who do Dawah and those who exhort people to do patience and perseverance. Minimum four criteria are required to go to Jannah”.

Zakir Naik on Jesus Christ

The hate preacher alleged that all those who consider Jesus Christ (the son of Mary) as ‘God (Allah)’, He shall make paradise ‘haram’ (prohibited) for him. “Fire (Hell) shall his dwelling place be and he shall have no help hereafter,” Zakir Naik cited the Islamic religious text. He thereby concluded that by virtue of Mother Teresa believing Jesus Christ as God and thus put Him at par with ‘Allah’. “So, according to Jesus Christ, Quran and the Bible, if anybody does Shirk, be it Mother Teresa or anyone else, they shall not enter Jannah,” he concluded.

Zakir Naik on Christmas

In a video from April 2019 that had gone viral on social media, Zakir Naik was seen admonishing a Muslim boy named Adel Ahmed for committing ‘sin’. Ahmed’s mistake was that he wished his Christian friends, ‘Merry Christmas’.

“To reach your goals, you cannot use wrong means brother. What is Haram to them is also Haram to you. When you are wishing Merry Christmas to them, you are agreeing that he is the son of God and that is Shirk (sin). Because they believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Irrespective of whether they are practicing Christians or not, they celebrate the day because of His birthday,” Zakir Naik emphasized.

It may be mentioned here that, for the last few years, Zakir Naik has been sheltered by the Malaysian authorities. His stay in Malaysia was particularly initiated by Mahathir Mohammed.

Who is Zakir Naik

To a large section of the television viewers in Asia, Dr. Zakir Naik is a known name. This is mostly because of the prominent presence of his Islamist television channel named ´Peace TV´, which claims it to be the ´solution for humanity´.

Dr. Naik operated this channel from Britain under the banner of an organization named Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) and Peace TV was running with heavy donation and contribution by Muslims from a part of their Zakat, as well as donations from various Afro-Arab sources.

According to Islamic dictionary, Zakat or ´alms for the poor´ is the Islamic principle of giving a percentage of one´s income to charity. It is often compared to the system of tithing and alms, but it serves principally as the welfare contribution to poor and deprived people in the Muslim lands, although others may have a rightful share. Zakat’s similar-sounding, Arabic language analog is the Hebrew word Tzedakah, the charitable obligation in ancient Israel through to present day Judaism. It is the duty of the Islamic state not just to collect Zakat, but to distribute it fairly as well. Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

Speakers in PeaceTV, who regularly appeared in the programs are Dr. Zakir Naik [India], Ahmed Deedat [South Africa], Dr. Bilal Philips [Canada], Yassir Fazaga [USA], Abdur Rahim Green [UK], Hussein Ye [Malaysia], Dr. Jafar Idris [Sudan], Salem Al Amry [UAE], Dr. Israr Ahmed [Pakistan], Maulana Parekh [India] etc. But, only one person, who occupies almost 65 per cent of the program segments of this television channel, is Dr. Zakir Naik himself. And, surely, with the slogan of ‘solution for humanity´, Dr. Zakir was spreading religious hatred, poison, and regularly attacked Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and other religions in the world and cleverly tried to project Bible, Veda, Purana, Torah and other Holy Scriptures as fake.

Dr. Zakir Naik, being a fanatic Muslim not only tries to continue his own way of spreading religious hatred and extremism through his so-called lectures but even promotes the idea of jihad and Islamist aggressions. He had definitely found a very effective tool, when he was able to establish PeaceTV, and was continuing his hate speech agenda as well as his own publicity and promotional programs to project other members of his family as ´Islamic Scholars´ [which includes his minor son and daughter]. And millions of dollars donated mostly by Muslims from the portion of their Zakat fund was going right inside the pocket of Dr. Zakir Naik, and he led a very lavish life while spending this fund not only for running his own PeaceTV but also for buying luxury and comfort for other members of his family.

According to information, Zakir Naik has hidden properties in a number of countries, while he also holds several secret bank accounts, mostly under shell company’s name.

By profession although Zakir Naik claims himself to be a medical practitioner, it is not clear as to why he left this noble profession thus entering the full-time job of one of the most expensive Islamist lecturers in the world. The fact is, Dr. Zakir Naik is a failed medical practitioner, who found the excellent opportunity of memorizing only some selected verses of Koran and Hadith as well as other Holy Books thus appearing to the people with his own interpretation of Islam and very tactfully injecting poison of religious hatred as well as jihadist notion.

Most interesting part of Dr. Zakir Naik is, he also considered to be the champion of his mockery and cheating people around the world, with hundreds of people listening to his lecture.

Moreover, the huge crowd shown in Zakir´s lectures in India were mostly half-educated clergies who surely did not understand what Zakir spoke of. If any of the programs will be carefully watched then it will become clear that the audience have no reaction at all on what he says, rather they just sit with semi open or even closed eyes in front of television cameras, thus giving chance to Dr. Zakir Naik of claiming to be educating a huge crowd. Some critics even say that, most of these audiences were hired by Islamic Research Foundation with the objective of giving an impression mostly to the patrons of Dr. Zakir and his PeaceTV in the Middle East, that, Islam is really becoming increasingly powerful and prominent in a non-Muslim country like India.

According to some experts, while Al Qaida and Islamic State (ISIS) serve the armed segment of radical Islam, Dr. Zakir Naik and his PeaceTV covered the media segment of the same agenda. For example, Dr. Zakir will first attract the attention of people towards his lectures by giving similarities between Islam and other religious beliefs, while at the next step, he comes up to prove all other religions to be fake and Holy Scriptures false through a number of programs like ´Crossfire´, ´Truth Revealed´ etc. Some even opine that, while ISIS or Al Qaeda existence are mostly in hiding, Zakir Naik is continuing his offensives openly, which is a much greater threat to global peace and harmony.

In one of the programs on PeaceTV, Dr. Zakir Naik said in Urdu, Jesus Christ never claimed himself to be a Christian. And according to Zakir, Jesus was also a Muslim. By saying this, Dr. Zakir wanted to mislead the audience that, there is no divine religion except Islam in this world – since the ancient times.

Although Zakir Naik currently faces numerous criminal charges in India and his notorious Peace TV been banned in many countries, he has been still gradually expanding his influence over a number of media bases in Europe, America and Asia. In the recent years, in Glasgow [UK], a radio anchor named Rev. Mahboob Masih was sacked from Awaz FM radio station just because he and his co-presenter Afzal Umeed were discussing the views of a Zakir Naik, who the Rev Masih accused of belittling the Christian faith on Peace TV.

Later, Rev. Masih lodged a complaint with Ofcom, the radio regulator, claiming that Awaz FM was in breach of the terms of its license. It alleged “discrimination against members of Asian Christian Community by [the] Muslim management of Awaz FM.”

Commenting on Dr. Zakir Naik, an eminent Indian sociologist Imtiaz Ahmed said, “Brought up on the heavy dose of radical Islam, Naik follows a supremacist ideology”. Some of the Middle Eastern nations, think they have a divine right to convert Muslims across the world into a puritanical Salafist Islam. Naik is their public face,”

He said, “The exclusivist Wahabism is inimical to an inclusive, tolerant Islam practiced in India. I have heard him a couple of times on TV and am deeply disappointed.”

Dr. Zakir Naik, on a number of occasions, defended Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. His remark on Osama bin Laden had created quite a controversy some time back.

“If Osama bin Laden is terrorizing America or the enemies of Islam, every Muslim should become a terrorist. I can’t call Osama a terrorist because his involvement in the dastardly act of 9/11 is not proved,” Naik had said, defending the most wanted man in the world.
