Dr Zakir Nayak

                                              Dr Zakir Nayak


For those who don’t know much about Dr. Zakir Naik, here is the
introduction of him. Who is Dr. Zakir Naik? At a time when there
was confusion in India, while communal disharmony was at it’s
peak, while Muslims were looked by suspicions, while Babri Masjid
was razed down to the ground, while the Muslims didn’t have a
voice to communicate to the world, there appeared a shooting
star in dark horizons of ignorance and impotence; the shooting
star that we Indians witnessed in India was none other than Dr.
Zakir Naik, the shooting star that smashed into the nook and
corners of India. The media was carrying allegations against
Muslims, the Muslims were indulging into innovations, the Muslim
youths were not proud to call themselves as Muslims in public,
while R.S.S and other right wing bodies were adding fuel to the
hatred towards Muslims, while the Muslim Scholars in India had
the knowledge on Islam, but were not successful to motivate the
masses. It was under these dire circumstance that Allah chose a
stammerer; a stammerer who could not spell even his name at one
go. When asked his name, he would say “Za…….Za……Za…..
Za…..Zakir”; and that was Dr. Zakir Naik. Yes, the man who
couldn’t pronounce his name, gave public talks for 3 to 4 hours at
one go. It was not he who spoke; it was Allah who made him
speak. When Dr. Zakir read his supplication that which Musa
alaihissalam read, Allah’s help was witnessed by millions in the
audience. In a land where the Muslims were butchered and
massacred, the confidence that Dr. Zakir Naik instilled in the
veins of the youth was simply amazing. People were amazed to see
the thin man, with a skull cap and beard, wearing the trousers
above ankles, standing with courage alone and facing the Indian
audience, quoting the verses from the Qur’an, reading the
shlokas from the Hindu scriptures, quoting verbatim the verses
and references from the bible; without referring to the notes,
while committing the library of books to memory, was simply a
mind blowing boosting experience to the young Muslims in India.
People saw great results. Many coming to the fold of Islam; lot of
non-muslims embracing Islam, women rushing to the Burkha
stores to buy burkhas, youngsters wearing skull cap to colleges
and office, Muslims purchasing Qur’an, Islamic books and DVDs
were all the signs of a new revival of the Sunnah in India. We in
India didn’t come across another person on the media to
challenge the allegations against Islam, with wisdom and
reasoning. The morale of the Muslims were elevated; and the
outcome was that, today there are many Da’wah centres and
Islamic schools which have erupted after getting convinced with
the trend that was set by Dr. Zakir Naik. So we love Dr. Zakir
Naik, because he stood for the cause of Islam; because he
smashed the allegations against Islam; because he loves Allah and
His Rasool sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallaam. It is he who started
Peace tv, English, Urdu and Bangla. It is he who invites the
scholars of other parts of India to deliver their talks to the
public. Ulema from Saudi are the regular participants. Scholars
of Madina are his well wishers and advisors. His schools have
produced children who have memorised the entire Qur’an, while
they can understand the meanings too. His son himself haafidh of
the Qur’an, and a dynamic young speaker in the world. I say this
with complete conviction, his son Fariq Naik can even enter into
Guiness book of records for being the youngest public speaker who
addresses thousands of audience in the world. Shame on those
who discredit and disregard the work of Dr. Zakir. When the
grave worshippers hate him we have no problem. When the idol
worshippers hate him we have no problem. When the Jews,
Christians and Atheists hate him, we have no problem. But, when
the people who understand the Manhaj of salaf ( methodology of
the pious predecessors) speak nonsense, while speaking without
proofs, while justifying their arguments based on their personal
experiences with some individuals, and generalising it is utter
nonsense. Hundreds of people work under Dr. Zakir; each one on a different level, coming from a different background. In a school one may find children of various kinds. One must judge the school by what the syllabus, methodology and teachings of the school is; not by looking at some individuals in the school. There are bright students in a school, and there are dull students in the school. I encourage the mischief mongers to look at the good examples and the ideology of that which the management adheres to. As a Dae, we speak about Islam. We defend our DEEN and our Prophet. And we defend our brothers who work for the cause of Islam. As a Dae, one must call people to truth; and at times also deal certain goons with iron hand. The people who speak nonsense about our brothers are those who have not done anything as much the people whom they criticise. I believe that it is Allah’s way to reward Dr. Zakir, by letting him take the deeds of the backbiters on the day of Judgement inshaallaah. The backbiters were behind the screens all these days; and now we see them spitting venom in public forums. If one has any issue with Dr. Zakir, we encourage
him to meet him personally and talk it out. If not, let them be
prepared to see people like me getting hard like bulldozers over
their heads. Be prepared! There are many heroes of Islam; in the past, present and in the future. Allah takes work out of those whom He chooses. We love those who love Allah, His Rasool and the Sahaabaa Ajma’een. Yes, we love Dr. Zakir, for the sake of Allah........may Allaah suhbhanahu wa ta'aala bless dr nice n
protct him frm evil eyes ...
