On November 8, 2008, members of India’s premier Sunni Muslim organisation, Raza Academy came together to demand a ban on Zahir Naik’s programme ‘Insaniyat Ke Liye Hal’ to be held from November 14-23 at Somaiya grounds.
Maulana Ashraf Raza of the Darul-Uloom Hanfia Rizvia, Colaba also issued a fatwa against Naik. Members alleged that Naik had made derogatory statements about Islam’s prophet. Maulanas from the All India Sunni Tableeq Community were present.
Members complained that on many occasions Naik had urged crowds to pray to Allah alone instead of Prophet Mohammed Paigambar, as he claims the prophet is human.
They also alleged that Naik had praised, Yazid, the murderer of Imam Hussein. Saeed Noori, general secretary of Raza Academy said, “Naik has been very indifferent about Osama Bin Laden. He hasn’t said anything about Osama, even though we see him as a terrorist.”
Ebrahim Tahil, member of the academy said, “He earlier targeted Christians and is now against Sunni Muslims. We have met with RR Patil and KL Prasad urging them to ban the programme.” He added, “We want to know from where Naik gets his funds?”
What if the ban is not enforced? Noori said, “Maulanas from the Sunni community plan to confront Naik on his knowledge of Islam before the public during the programme.”
DNA tried getting in touch with Naik, but he was unavailable for comment.

First of all, I want to say that I like Imam Ahmed Raza Khan as a Muslim scholar.
But, what I feel is, unfortunately He has got mostly mindless followers.
Hardly any of His followers understand even to Imam Ahmed Raza.
Secondly, I feel, in fact I am sure that with the issue of Dr. Zakir Naik, it is going to be the end of Barelwism.
Even I belong to a region, where 90% of the Muslim are Barelwi, but interestingly 99% of the new generation likes Bother Zakir Naik.

It seems to me the muslims with their contineous infighting will never unite to defeat the kuffar, how can they when all their time is spent on passing Fatwas againts each other. NO ONE is prepared to understand the QURAN and HADITH to seek guidance instead they choose to follow this maulvi or that sheikh whom their forefathers followed.(de ja vue ,didn’t the pagans of mecca do the same)
WAKE UP muslims -how much more humiliation must be heaped on you before you come to your senses???
Shahnawaz warsi // November 17, 2008 at 4:55 pm |
Mr A Muslim…In How much time You expect that there will be end of Sunni (U said Barelwism) sahi ul Aqida ?.
I challenge You to end it with the help of all your wahabi team leaders…
Ibrar Nadeem(bradford uk) // November 17, 2008 at 5:36 pm |
it seems to me that we will never be a united Ummat because we do not fellow Quran and Hadith. When we have One ALLAHA, ONE RASOOL<(means HAZRAT MUHAMMED SAW)ONE QURAN, We read ONE KALIMAA then why is the difference ?????????????? This Question is for all those people who divide the Muslim Ummat in firkas? Please please please be a united Ummat & it is all Muslims duty to read Quran & Hadith.we have left every thing on these mulvies that is why there are lot of firkas in Ummat..,,Think !!!today tomorrow is too late.
MUSLIM // November 19, 2008 at 12:29 pm |
Mr. Shahnawaz Warsi
You are absolutely wrong.
I never said, it is going to be end of Sunni Islam.(naus billah)
What you understand, when I said,” I like Imam Ahmed Raza Khan as a Muslim scholar.”
I said clearly that I like teaching of Ahmed Raza Khan, I like his work on Islam.
But, as I said, he has got mindless follower, I have the problem with His all mindless followers, who are just misrepresenting Imam Ahmed Raza Khan.
My problem is with those, who believe to reach Allah SWT and Rahshu Allah PBUH, every Muslim must embrace Brelwism.
My problem is with those, who don’t understand that Imam Ahmed Raza Khan was just one of the great scholars of Islam, BUT he is not the only scholar, there can be other also.
My problem is with those, who are so deeply involve in Brelwism that after death when they will be asked, what is your deen. They may say, “Barelwi”.
I ask all my Muslim Brother, who dislike Dr. Zakir that BY ALLAH SWT, can you answer me, is the issue of Yazid is the only reason? Did you like him before?
I know, you never like Dr. Zakir Naik, because to like any one, you first want to know that “does he accepted Brelwism?”.
Ironically, these people do care how good He the Muslim is. How great He the scholar is. How effectively, successfully, perfectly and truly He is serving Islam
BTW, when I say,”I don’t like Barelwism” that doesn’t mean “I am Wahabi, or Deobandi, or Taglighi.
I know very well, more or less every sect is a mixture of goodness and badness, in a sense that even though founders ware great Scholars and thinkers but they ware simple human, hence somewhere they can be wrong too.
But, that doesn’t matter. It happens, we should not stop and indulge, but move further.
I don’t mean to say, if some one goes against Islam, if some one admixing alien elements in Islam, we should just watch. No, we have to object, but must be in positive way.
But, this is not the case with Dr. Zakir Naik.
Can any one prove that he is against true teaching of Islam?
People only don’t like him, because He doesn’t belong to his/her sects.
Issue of Yazid is not such a issue that, we should divide our Muslim community.
He never says, we must pray for Yazid, neither He say that we must not pray for Yazid.
Both the way, it is right.
So, where is the issue?
Not to forget, Islam doesn’t belong to one family; Yes, we must respect Husain RA, but we should not forget other Sahaba, who sacrifice their life.
Should we start, celebrating and crying for all on the day of occurrences?
Then, where the true shape of Islam will go????? Have you ever think?
I am a Muslim. I believe every Muslim must like to be called Muslim.
MUSLIM // November 19, 2008 at 12:34 pm |
Correction in above post.
Ironically, these people DON’T care how good He the Muslim is. How great He the scholar is. How effectively, successfully, perfectly and truly He is serving Islam
Shahnawaz warsi // November 20, 2008 at 5:56 pm |
Mr.Muslim What ever Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Spread was not the Sect he was Mujaddid who Just told what Quran and Sunnah is ? and opposed what is not?
he opposed each whoc came before Quran and Sunnah.The name barelwi/barelwiyat is gift of Deobandi scholars who proudly calls themselves Deobandi.where as Sunni AhleSunnat wal Jamat of Asia specially South Asia Considers Imam Ahme dRaza Khan as their leader and As sunni/Sufi Practicing Muslims came to know his teachings of Ishq e Rasool and Adab he accepts him as his Imam but without negating other Sunni Scholars.
we Considers Shah Abdul Haq Dehlavi ,Shah Abdul Aziz Dehlavi and Allama Fazle Haq Khairabadi and other sunni scholars as our imam too.
but difference lies in Wahabi Interpretation to which deoband school/\ahle hadith accepts full /partial and try to show that they are only real muslims.
We have our sunni Brothers around the world except wahabi/deobandi/ahlehadith/shia/qadiani etc.
we are alyas in majority we were always in majority inshAllah we will in future too in majority..
Issue of yazid in ur eyes may be a minor issue…
but firstly zakir naik is already a wahabi and this issue only exposed his ideas..he praised the munafiq and murderer of H Hussain and Insult hazrat Hussain .he shown his true colours .he negates tawassul etc..
he is not among sunni Muslims …
we dont support subscribe his views and will try to stop his views being spread among our brothers..
we never writes or likes to use barelwi word but when some says and identify with imam ahmed raza we proudly says we are..
tha does not mean all others who dont know him are out of pale of sunni Islam..it is totally eyewashing…
Alhadulillahmajority still follows him in India /pakistan/
MUSLIM // November 22, 2008 at 9:40 am |
Brother Shahnawaz,
Assalam O alaikum.
I don’t want to indulge myself, to prove that who is to what extent as per Quran and Hadith, as every one claim to be perfect.
I do agree that, the name Barelwi has been given by Deobandis, and Imam Ahmed Raza Khan never called himself as Barelwi.
What I am trying to say, as a crux of subject is that, what makes any Muslims to dislike Dr.Zakir Naik?
Our problem is that, when we judge any Muslim, we keep Wahabism, Deobandism, Barelwism, etc. in our mind, BUT unfortunately we don’t review as per Quran and Hadish.
As you said, Dr. Zakir Naik is wahabi, because he reject Tawasool, as if to be a Muslim we must have to approach Allah SWT through twassool ONLY.
Brother, he belongs to no sects; he is a Muslim, a true Muslim. That’s it.
One of the example is, one of the scholars of Whabi (I don’t want to name) once said, “Allah SWT can lie” (nausobillh.)
Dr. Zakir Naik, completely reject this by saying lying is an Ungodly act.
My Dear, problem with majority of the Muslims is that, they are mentally bound to relate to all Muslim to one or other sects.
Our Muslim brother can’t see, any Muslim without any addinh him/her to any sects.
Can you please tell me?
Adding Razi Allahotala Anha with the name of Yazid, is NOT permitted as per Quran and Hadith.
Or,
Adding Razi Allahotala Anha with the name of Yazid, is permitted as per Quran and Hadith.
Or, we must add……………,
I believe, no one can prove it, as it is not black and white, hence a completely gray area.
In view of the same, issue of Yazid is too small to divide Muslims.
How foolishly, some groups of Muslim went to meet Maharashtra CM, to stop Dr. Naik program scheduled on 14/11/08.
Shahnawaz warsi // November 23, 2008 at 2:10 pm |
A Muslims Said******How foolishly, some groups of Muslim went to meet Maharashtra CM, to stop Dr. Naik program scheduled on 14/11/08******
This is Brave act against a A Very Famous ?Infamous person . This is not Issue of Yazid but Issue of Hussain the shahadah of hussain is the Greatest Shahdah in Islam and Yazid has been Declared Kafir by Islamic Scholars on which Billions of Muslims from all Over the world have relied.
Read the Comments of sher-Ghousia u may be New to site but not new to Karbala Issue.
We are not trying to divide Muslims rather Trying to Prtotect them from So Called fake scholars who have injected their Personal Opinions in the minds of Muslim Youths in the name of Islam.
Shahnawaz warsi // November 23, 2008 at 2:13 pm |
Sher-e-Ghousia, on April 14th, 2008 at 1:04 pm Said:
These two solid references from great Islamic figures should prove to you who Yazid was:
- The great Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (Radi Allahu Anh) was asked by his son that a group of people (qawm) attribute us to [be with] yazid , he replied, O son! Whoever believes in Allah, how can they have any association with yazid? and why should he not be cursed (laanat) when Allah sends laanat on him in his Book. He asked where did Allah send laanat on him in his Book? The Imam replied “in this saying of Allah Ta’la”:
Do you then have the sign that if you get the authority, spread disorder in the land and sever your ties of Kinship? These are they whom Allah has cursed and made them deaf from the truth and made their eyes blind. (47:22-23), and then says, is there any greater fasad than the murdering of Husayn?
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal is from the mujtahid Imams, muqallad of the Hanabali madhab who lived from 164-241 AH.
(Mentioned in multiple sources such as Ibn Hajar Makki in al-Sawa’iq al-Muhriqa page 333, Tafsir Mazhari v. 8. p. 434 Imam Barzanji in al-Isha’at, Qadi Abu Ya’la in Mu’tamad al-Usool, ibn al-Jawzi and so on)
- Imam Jalal Uddin Suyuti mentions in his book ‘The History of the Rightly Guided Caliphs’ (Taarekh ul Khulufaa al-Raashideen); “Nawfal bin Abi al-Faraat said ‘Once I was with Umar bin Abdul Aziz when a man said in his presence ‘Yazid, the leader of the believers’ (Ameer ul Mu’mineen). Umar bin Abdul Aziz said [in shock] ‘Did you call Yazid the Leader of the Believers? Umar then ordered for the man to be lashed 20 times”.
As you can see, mentioning Yazid’s name with praise is punishable.
Sher-e-Ghousia, on April 14th, 2008 at 1:18 pm Said: Edit Comment
As I said before, stop turning this into a Sunni Vs Shia issue and turning the limelight away from Dr Naik. We are not talking about the differences in beliefs but the statements of Dr Naik.
This topic is about Imam Hussain (Radi Allahu Anh) and both Sunni’s and Shia’a love and respect him.
Who says only Shia’s portray Yazid to be responsible for the killing of Yazid? Have you read the books by the Scholars of the early generations of Islam, such as Imam ibn Hanbal (Radi Allahu Anh)? If you had, then you would have known better?
I have seen more Sunni Scholars condemning Dr Naik over the Yazid comments than Shia Scholars. So, your logic of it being a Shia thing is baseless.
I can quote you many references from Sunni Scholars of the past who have accused Yazid of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (Radi Allahu Anh). May of these scholars even curse Yazid (lanatullah alaih).
PS: If you want more evidences to the ones above, please ask.
MUSLIM // November 24, 2008 at 7:03 am |
Brother, Shahnawaz.
Assalam O alaikum.
I never said, we must praise Yazid, neither had I said, we must abuse Yazid.
What I am trying to say is, “we must not fight on this issue, as it is too small to divide Muslim”.
My thought can be supported by many scholars.
Obviously, you would like to pick up whatever you like, but to be a true Muslim, you should judge through all the angles.
Bother, don’t forget; on the Day of Judgment, we have to answer Allah SWT and not to ………any one else.
I know, from where you copied the statement of Imam Hanbal (RA), but unfortunately you missed out the other statements.
*** Imam Muhammad Ghazali is quoted in several books saying;
“He (Yazid) was a Muslim with a correct Islamic principles and a complete Muslim and it is not permissible in the Islamic laws or practices to curse and abuse him.”
*** Mullah Ali Qari said, ““The majority of the Scholars have prohibited cursing Yazid and Hajjaj.”
*** Imam Qazi Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi Maliki another scholar did not hold permissible the cursing and abusing of Yazid nor declaring him to be a disbeliever. He said, ““If it is said justice and knowledge are from the conditions of Caliphate and Yazid neither had justice nor knowledge, then we would have to ask, by what evidence this conclusion was drawn that Yazid had no justice or knowledge.” (al-Awasim Minal Qawasim (pg.222)
In another statement; “Where are those historians who wrote against Yazid in mentioning alcohol and open sinning, do they not have any shame?” – meaning where are the evidences for these accusations.” (ref books:al-Awasim Minal Qawasim (pg.222)
*** Sheikh Abdul Mugheeth Hanbali has the unique distinction of being one of the earliest known biographers of Yazid. Hafiz Ibn Kathir said about Sheikh Abdul Mugheeth that, “He was from the righteous Hanbali’s who the common folk referred to.” – (al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah (12/328).Sheikh Abdul Mugheeth was also not in favor of cursing Yazid or declaring him to be a disbeliever, rather he authored a biography of Yazid with the title of “Fadhal Yazid.” and ‘Fadhal Yazid bin Muawiyah’. – (ref books: Hidaayatul A’aarifeen Asmaa al-Mu’allifeen Wa Athaar Musannifeen (5/623), al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah (12/328).

MUSLIM // November 24, 2008 at 7:03 am |
*** Ibn Kathir reported on Allama Abul-Khair Qazwaini ,another Islamic Scholar,that; ““After he left Qazwain he went to Baghdad where he became a teacher in Madrassa Nizamia and he would admonish and deliver lectures to the people. So on the day of Ashurah he sat on the minbar to admonish the people, it was said to him to curse Yazid bin Muawiyah. He replied, “He was but an Imam Mujtahid.” (ref books: al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah (9/13), Risaalah al-Mustarfah Lee-Bayaan Mashoor Kitaab as-Sunnah al-Musharfah (pg.132).
*** Ibn Salah was also not in favor of cursing Yazid or saying he was a disbeliever. Ibn Hajr the Meccan writes, ““Ibn Salah who is from our jurists and scholars of Hadith, I have seen in his Fatwa that when he was asked concerning the individual who would only curse Yazid because he ordered the death of Husayn. Then in answer to this he said, according to us Yazid ordering the death of Hussain is not a correct report and cursing and abusing Yazid is not the sign of a believer…..” (as-Sawaa’iq al-Meharqah (pg.222).
*** Ibn Taymiyyah was neither in favor of cursing Yazid nor declaring him to be a disbeliever. He says, ““And the people who curse Yazid and other such people like him then it is upon them to bring evidence, Firstly: that he (Yazid) was an open sinner and an oppressor and therefore prove he really was an open sinner and an oppressor as allowing him to be cursed needs to be proven that he continued this open sinning and oppression to the end up until his death. Secondly: Then after this they must prove that it is permissible to curse specific people like Yazid. ………… and the verse, “May the Curse of Allah be upon the oppressors”, is a general verse like the verses concerning punishment…………..And the Hadith compiled by Bukhari states the first army to wage Jihad against Constantinople is forgiven and it is clear that their commander Yazid ibn Muawiyah was a member of this army and is included in this forgiveness………..” (ref books: Minhaaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah Fee Naqdh Kalaam ash-Shee’ah Wal-Qadariyyah (2/252), al-Muntaqa Minhaaj al-Ei’tidaal Fee Naqdh Kalaam ar-Rafdh Wal-Ei’tizaal (pg.290).
*** Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya writes in his book “al-Manaar al-Muneef”, ““All the narration’s that mention the censure of Yazid bin Muawiyah are lies……………All the narration’s that mention the censure of Muawiyah are lies.” (ref book: al-Manaar al-Muneef Fis-Saheeh Wadh-Dha’eef – pg.220).
And there are many more,………………………

MUSLIM // November 24, 2008 at 7:04 am |
BTW, please read the statement of Imam Hambal (RA), his reference from the Holy Quran regarding Yazid is NOT the specific referance revealed in the Quran for Yazid, but a general reference. This verse from the Quran talks about those people who do FAÇADE (spread disorder in the land).
Thus all the people involved in dividing Muslim may come under this verse.
So, again I repeat, we should stop dividing Muslim. If we are intent to, we can find hundreds of causes to fight.
Please don’t take me wrong.
I am not the one you are thinking. If you think, I am so called Wahabi; you are wrong.

Merazul // November 24, 2008 at 10:25 pm |
Regarding the Hadith of Constanople:
This Hadith was for the people who would willingly go to Jihad (war) and were prepared to sacrifice their lives for the sake of Allah Most High. It was not for the people who were be sent by force to participate in that battle. Yazid did not participate in that battle willingly, he was sent to fight by forceby Amir Mu’awiya. Some scholars maintain that this Hadith applies only to those who have not committed any kind of sin which would otherwise prevent them from entering Paradise.
Allahma Ibn Atheer writes that in the 50 Hijra, Sayyiduna Amir Mu’awiya, may Allah Most High be pleased with him, sent an army to Rome and appointed Sufyan bin Au’f as leader of the army and he also ordered his son Yazid to go with the army. Yazid did not obey Amir Mu’awiya and said that he was feeling ill; Amir accepted this excuse and said that he should not go as he was ill. During the war soldiers fell ill due to food shortages. When Yazid heard of this he stated that he had no concern for the plight of the soldiers of Islam, when he was able to enjoy the comforts of his home with his beautiful wife, Umea Kulsum. When Amir Mu’awiya heard what Yazid had said, he called Yazid and ordered him to go where the army was so that he could experience the suffering of the soldiers of Islam. Amir sent a small army of people with him; this small army consisted of many pious people, including Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair, Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub
Ansari, and a other pious people; eventually they reached Istanbul, and fought in the battle.
[Tareek-Eh-Kamil Ibn Atheer chapter on government of Amir Mu'awiya stories of the 50 Hijra]
This hadith clearly shows that Yazid did not join the army of Mulsims voluntarily, but he was sent by force. Thus how can it be claimed that he will be rewarded with Paradise?
Their first narrator’s name is Yahya bin Hamza. Hafiz Ibn Hajar Asqlani writes that Imam Mu’een says he was a Qaddri (from a misled sect). Imam Aajiri says I asked Abu Dawud whether Yahya bin Hamza was a Qaddri and he confirmed that he was..
[Tahzeeb ut-Tahzeeb - biography of Yahya bin Hamza]
The second narrator’s name is Thur bin Yazid Kelai Himsi. Hafiz Ibn Hajar Asqlani writes that Imam Ibn Sa’d said he was a Qaddri, and his grandfather was killed in the war of Siffeen fighting for Amir Mu’awiya. Whenever Thur used to talk about Sayyiduna Ali he used to say that he did not like the person who killed my grandfather. Uthman Darmee notes that he had not seen a person like him who was suspected of being a Qaddri. Ahmed bin Saleh narrated the narration from the people of Syria that Thur was a Qaddri. Imam Uzai used also to say bad things about him. Imam Ibn Hamble says that Thur bin Yazid was a Qaddree. Imam Ibn Mu’een says that Maqhul was Qaddri and later repented, but Thur bin Yazid never repented and remined a Qaddri. Aajiri says that he was a Qaddri and he was exiled from his town. Regarding the second narrator Hafiz Abdur Rahman Ibn Hatim says that Abdullah bin Ahmed Humble says that my father Ahmed Ibn Humble used to say that Thur bin Yazid was a Qaddri. Tahribut Tahzeeb biography of Soar bin Yazid. Imam Dhahbi writes that Imam Ibn Humble said that Thur bin Yazid was a Qaddri and the people from his town threw him out. Abdullah bin Salim says that the people of Hamas threw Thur out his town and set fire to his house because he used to talk against the faith.
Mizanul A’tidal biography Thur bin Yazid by Imam Zahbee.
We can see that the narrators explaining this narration are from a misled sect and thus was the enemy of Sayyiduna Ali and a firm supporter of Yazid. How then can this narration be used as evidence that Yazid will be granted Paradise?
After reading about Yazid no one can say that Imam Husain should not have opposed Yazid. No one can dare say that Yazid was a righteous and pious person, and that Allah Most High was pleased with him. No one can say that Imam Husain should have given his hand in the hands of Yazid and accept him as the true ruler of the Muslims. Only a person who is against our Prophet’s (sallalahu alayhi wa’alihi wa’sallam) family can make such claim.
——————————————————————————————————————
About the statement by Imam ibn Hanbal:
The generality of the Ayah is not an issue, as Imam ibn Hanbal (radi Allahu Ta’ala anhu) knew the Ayah and still called yazid a kaffir and cursed him. Before you try to make a counter augment, ask yourself, who has better understanding of the Qur’an, you or Imam ibn Hanbal (radi Allahu Ta’ala anhu)?
MUSLIM // November 26, 2008 at 5:32 am |
You completely misunderstood the point.
It is not the issue that whether Yazid was good or bad.
The point is, all the scholars (whether you mentioned or I) had never fight on the issue of Yazid, SO WE SHOULD NOT ALSO.
There are many opinion regarding Yazid, and all seams to be right as per their point of view.
What in am trying to say is, “issue of Yazid is too small to fight and divide Muslim”
In the same view, we can find hundreds of reason to fight. Can’t we?????
If it is only the matter of, Yazid was not a good ruler (Islamic point of view) then why only Yazid, there are hardly some Muslim rulers, who have been ruled according to Islam.
Who is you present ruler, dig out about him.
There is a touch stone to test out the TRUE Iman of any one, in this regards.
If any one have TRUE love and respect for our beloved Prophet Mohammed PBUH, to an extent that he always cry for Hussain RA, and cursing and abusing Yazid, then the love of Prophet PBUH, will never allow him to divide Muslim community.
Whatever sadness he had, he will keep in his heart.
Secondly, true love of Prophet PBUH, is not only loving His families but to entire Muslim ummah.

mr: a muslim……..
Assalamu alaikum..
we are sunnis as you also…
but i cant understand ur policy…
u r saying that u follow imam raza….
but you also follow zakir naik….
how is this possible….
do you think that our problem with zakir naik
is that he is not a barelwi…
no.. it is not..
but the problem is that
as a muslmi he doeds not obey the scholars of islam
who were inpast …that is “aemmathul mujthahideen”..
He interprets Quran in his own way against the
meanings given by those Aemmath….
All the scholars of Islam says that
After the age of “Aemmath” muslims should hold to any one of the “MADHAB’S”…
(you can look for more in kitab of imam navavi and others who are the emminent scholars of islam..)
But zakir naik did not follow any of them…..
So , my dear friend of islam….
try to understand the real problem…
and stand strongly against all the kind of “bid-ath..”
assalamu alaikum…..
jabiramu... // November 27, 2008 at 10:23 am |
mr a muslim….a muslim..
one thing more,….
after all you are saying that we should not divide muslims on the issue of Yazeed……
then how can you justify Zakir naik who made
this bad comment for merely making issue and making injury in the hearts of muslims…..
In an issue like this in which islamic scholars have different points of view(as you have said..) he should have kept mum to the public…
why at all he made this a public issue…
and what is his point in praising Yazeed now….
all these are suspects…
If he would have been a general Muslim as you have said he would not have mentioned this issue…
He made this only to injure hearts of Sunni people…..
and that whatever Raza academy has done is just
to stop such activities which would lead to the dividing of muslims by issues like this,…..
If men like zakir naik continue to maka comments like this then it would make the real poblems among muslims….
so he must be banned from these deeds…
That’s what Raza acadamy had done…..
please try to think in proper direction……..
May allah help you for that….
and may he unite muslim community and escape from the deeds of fake scholars……
MUSLIM // December 3, 2008 at 3:50 am |
Mr. Jabiramu.
Assalam Alaikum.
You said, “I follow Imam Ahmed Raza Khan”.
You misunderstand brother. I said, “I like Imam Ahmed Raza Khan”.
We should not follow to any scholars, but we should just make use of their work to follow Islam.
These are the misconceptions in Muslim.
As you said, “we must follow any of the Mudhab”, again it is the misconception among Muslim.
What it was said that we CAN follow any one of Mudhab, in a view that it is not possible to all the Muslim to read and understand Holy Quran and Hadith, so we can adopt the way of these Imams of any Madhab to follow Islam correctly.
It was made by some Muslim scholar and thinker to make the life of Muslim to follow Islam.
You CAN’T support your stand by the help of Quran and Sahi Hadith that it is must to follow. As you kept mentioning in your post about some scholars and their writing, BUT you didn’t mentioned what Quran and Sahi Hadith says.
Not to forget, Allah SWT has named our religion as ISLAM and follower as MUSLIM, hence we have to call ourselves in the same way.
My friend, I know the real problem of our Muslims, which is we can’t our mind has struck up among our scholars and their work. We have stopped approaching DIRECTLY to the Holy Quran and Hadith.
You said, “Dr. Zakir Naik interprets Quran in his own way against the
meanings given by those Aemmath….”
Can you please show me a single verse, he presented wrongly?????
I challenge you can’t.
My friend, I have don a good home work on Dr. Zakir Naik before started liking him.
What I came to know is that, “ He doesn’t belong to any sects of Islam”.
He doesn’t belongs to Wahabi, Ahle Hadish, Deoband or Tablighi.
He is a true Muslim. That’s it.
I can give you the gude line to judge him.
Pick up all the issue, which Imam Ahmed Raza Khan objected to all above mentions sects.
Then find out what Dr. Zakir Naik states on the same.
You will get a convining answer, which will be almost in line of Imam Ahmed Raza Khan.
If you want, ask me I will answer that what Dr. Naik says.
ashraf // December 24, 2008 at 12:42 pm |
Dear Mr. Muslim…
u says, muslim should not follow any of the scholars but directly to Quran and Hadith. Then u cannot even imagine how many sects will be in muslim ummah. Each and every person will have his/her own sects, no doubts. That’s what’s happening now among the muslim community. This has been clearly mentioned by the prophet of islam centuries back, and where those who keep the right spirit of prophet’s teachings and the community of his Sahaba will only be in the right direction. Here how you will judge that , who’s that right front…? If you look into the quran and hadith yourself, then you can never ever get into that right path. Bcoz Prophet mentions the right path is the one which follows the of way prophet and his sahaba and they are not alive now. then what we have is quran and hadith…where hadith is written by those deep rooted followers of prophet and his sahabas. Now, how can you neglect these prominent scholars and get into the hadith by yourself. Even if you get into hadith and quran after discarding these scholars, what proof you have that, these hadith and quran which is available nowadays is completely free from additions or deletions and even modifications probably done by those past scholars or whatever you call…..? may be u can say…that, quran itself is telling that, it is beyond any such malpractices by anyone..”even this verse itself may also be added by those past scholars”…!!! So…?

Mr. Ashraf, Asalam o Alaikum.
I am shocked to read your second part of post.
Brother, you have doubt on the originality of Holy Quran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know, what does it mean?
You are in grave sin?
Please refresh you Iman, it is very weak, in fact you don’t have Iman?
Have not you read a verse in Quran, (Al-Hijr 15: 9),where in Allah promised to protect it. ”We have sent down the Reminder, and We will preserve it.”
One of the Qur’an’s most important attributes is that it reached us in the very same form in which it was revealed to our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Bother, do you mean to say, some thing can happened against Allah SWT wills, (naus billah).
As it was Allah SWT promised to protect Quran, HOW CAN YOU THING THAT IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED, OR IT CONTAINS OTHER THAN ALLAH SWT WORDS???????????????
How can you even imagine that Quran has been corrupted?????
Ashraf, you have the doubt on the power and capability of Allah SWT!!!!!!!!!!
You have to do something for your Iman, I feel you are out of the track of Islam.
With regards to the following any Scholars, it is not must to follow.
We CAN follow our scholars, in a sense that we have to make use of their work on Quran and Hadiths.
But the point is, all these scholars has said themselves that if you find any discrepancies, Muslim has to refer Quran and Authentic Hadiths.
We must respect all our scholars, as they have done a great job for us, so that understanding Islam, Quran, and Hadith is some what easy for us.
But, at the end of the day, we are Muslim, we should be called Muslim, and shouldn’t be called by the name of sect and scholar.
Remember, on the Day of Judgment, we have to face Allah SWT and not to any of our scholars.

Mohammed Umair // February 11, 2009 at 12:57 pm |
The Primay basis on which a person will judged on Judgement day or in Grave after death is not by his good deeds only, but it is by his AQEEDA. First comes aqeeda and then good deeds, if person has done good deeds and has a bad aqeeda about prophet (Salallahu alayhi Wasallam) e.g(Zakir Nayik) then irrespective of good deeds he will be thrown into hell.

Assalaamu alaikum.. Dear muslim bretherin,before making serious allegations against dr.zakir naik as a consequence of gettin influencd by people who hate dr.naik,have u made an effort to listen to reply of dr.zakir naik on this issue..i m a biggest supporter of dr.naik as one who thinks at an intellectual level wil ultimately rest in supporting a great scholar who is indeed a boon to the present world..he never comments without solid proof unlike the dummy scholars propagating their particular sect than propagating islam.. Bro muslim,i like ur answers,n u r one among the rightly guided people i hav seen here in this discusn.. May ALLAH(SWT) bestow his mercy on all of us.. Assalaamu alaikum

Gulam Hussain Razvi Hasmati // April 25, 2009 at 2:00 pm |
Dear Sunnis,
Assalamu Alaikum,
I saw one fellow above writes that end of barelism.
For defeating Islam not start from now. It start from when Rasollullah enter in this world.
The people who anti islam time to time they forced to try end the Islam. But Allah is Muhafiz.
To supply water and food in the name of Hussain which is the work of slave of Hussain’s.
To distrubing that good things it is the works of Yazid.
The true Gulam Hussain always curse the oppressor of Hussain.
Mr. Naik your time will soon to end your drama. Let be true sunni. Otherwise Allah’s Rasool awaiting to you ask the question about Hussain’s(Razaiyallahu Anhu) blood.
On that time you will stand without helpers. We are sunni Gulam Hussain’s will be as proof againts you infront of Allah.
(Hussain abbi samal, samal kar bacha raha hay Yazidiyon kay fitnay say)
Mera Hussain e pak kal bi zinda hay, Mera Hussain e Pak Aaj bi zinda hay.. Hussain Ka gulam kal bi zinda tha aur Aaj bi zinda hay)
Sha Ast Hussain…
Gulam Hussain Razvi Hasmati // April 25, 2009 at 2:10 pm |
MR. Habesha,
Dividers are all not sunnis. But dividers in the name of Sunni like deobandi.
If CBI or Police or CID not arresting the people who accused the result will be Nation Corruption.
The same logic here also how can we agree againts to The Rahmathullill Alamin Sallallahu alaihi wassallam ?
We Gulam Hussain is a soldiers of Imam Hussain certainly we will lock your mouths from misconceptions.
If you want to close the shouting each other you wil do to stop the mouth who againts talking of Rasoollullah. It is the only thing to avoid misconception.
Sha Ast Hussain. The Lions of Imam Ahamad Raza Khan
K.Syed // June 18, 2009 at 11:23 pm |
Zakir Naik didnt say any thing wrong, its just shias ‘ exaggeration.
Many sunni scholars prohibited to curse him.

Muhammad // July 10, 2009 at 9:16 am |
As-salaamu alaykum!
You guys don’t have any other work to do? You are not following the word of Allah (swt) and His Prophet (pbuh). You yourselves are not performing your obligatory duty, i.e. dawah and who is doing it (Dr. Zakir Naik) and encouraging others to do it, you are saying bad things about him?? You should be ashamed of yourself!
Khan // July 15, 2009 at 10:28 am |
ASAK.
I agree with Muhammad. This debate of who is a better scholar and who is a better Muslim is for Allah to decide. Please indulge in dawah and encourage others who are doing so.
Personally, I feel sad about the various firqas having developed and pray to Allah that there be only Muslims, no Barelvi, Deobandi, nonsense. All Muslims should read and Quran and understand it as Allah makes them understand it. That is what Allah says in the Quran – Allah calls himself the teacher of the Quran.
abdul rehman // July 27, 2009 at 10:24 pm |
Instead of spreaing of ISLAM you are trying to spread a FIRQAH, did any hadith or Aya refers to muslims as sunni or shia or any other firqa, don’t mislead others just to earn some moeny, ALLAH will never like those who disobey and add or reduce something from his orders and instructions. WE ARE MUSLIMS ONLY AND WE DO NOT REQUIRE ANY OTHER IDENTITY.
Shahnawaz warsi // July 28, 2009 at 1:29 pm |
Dear Abdul rehman I ahv not started writing Sunni ort Shia.This is the Natural thing to recognise when some people went wrong in ths Name of Islam.
we are Muslims and Alhamdulillah on the right track .U must nt hav any Confusion on this.
shafe shaikh // August 19, 2009 at 6:11 am |
bhai please stop this , dis seeds are sowen by our enemies and we are fighting for it , well bro as far as zakir bhai is concerned forget about the allegations. look he is a daayee ok , there are several verses in the quran encouraging the dawah , then why you people are discouraging or emposing a ban on him remember you are going against quran . why all this barelvi, tableeghi, sunni etc…. we r muslims read quran no verse , no word like tableeghi, barelvi….etc.. den y v r fighting just we belong to some jamaat just look no jamaat or firqa can go to jannat unless they follows prophet muhammad s.a.w and quran then why dont we support zakir bhai and do dawah????? plz give logical answer in the light of our authentic scriptures not just allegation bhai . we have ruled in dis nation beacase of quran and sunnahand we were united now we are just minority because of dis sects .. inshallah we will b united again not in da name of any jamaat or firqa but in the name of allah as muslims….. ameen
Mahfooz ul Haq Ansari // August 31, 2009 at 5:57 am |
It is absolutely shameful for all Bareilvism believers who constantly following the path of all those uneducated elders & olders who are no more now in this world to prove the facts. But the fact is that someone who was born and died can not be helpful to anyone of you. Bareilvism has maintained a lot ways to make a short cut of Ibadat and Zakat. I must appreciate all youngsters of this period who have not been accepting the lessons of Ahmed Raza Khan.
Insha-allaha Bareilvism will be wiped off soon in future. Aamin.
Shahnawaz warsi // August 31, 2009 at 9:32 pm |
Mr Mahfoozul Haq Ansari. May allah give U Civilized way to tell ur Point and also grant u siratulMustaqeem.
The Ahle Sunnat (Barelwi) will not disappear just before l Qayamat because they are the true Muslims Spread all over the world.
They are not Gustakh -e-Rasool Sallaholalihi Wassalam like Wahabi and Deobandis rather Ashiq-e-Rasool Sallaholalihi Wassalam.
Stop day dreaming and praising a gustakh like Zakir Naik.
Barelwis are in Majority in Everycountry not Ahle Hadith or Deobandi.
Mahfooz ul Haq Ansari // August 31, 2009 at 7:23 am |
It is also very much annoying to all those ones who have been day and night working for the great educating channels to spread the Islamic awarenesses . There is no educating centre of Bareilvis who has invested or devoted thier belongings either in the shape of time or money to make people understand the real islamic activities. Going for Qawwali and Offering Chadar etc will not define the system of islamic educations. There is no way to save and spread islam in bareilvi constitution. The people who do not accept the secrfices and hard works of Dr. Zakir Naik are real unfortunate muslims of this hostory and they have to face all AZAAB from Allaha.
In-nash-shirka lazul-mun azeem.

we need unity from all the muslim and really understand what is right and what is wrong then we find out mistake himself and completely understand our books as u say Quran us.
Dr zakir is a biggest scholar of islam and other religion and i lot os learning from this site
Sarvar Ansari // September 5, 2009 at 8:17 am |
Dear Brothers in Islam,
I see many of our muslim brothers arguing and criticising each other on these issues but not concentrating on what Allah (SWT) really want us to do to enter Jannah.
I was brought up in environment where people offers Tazia/Alam in Mohurram and visit graves to offer chadars giving good business to flower sellers. I was doing the same till the age of 30. I know may muslim who curse Yazid but drink alcohol, never offers Salah and involved in all forbidden act.
Alhamdo Lillah after reading full translation of Quran and giving serious thought on each practices, I realized that these are practices against sunnah.
Now also whenever I am travelling and find any graves of known pious Muslim scholar I offer my salam and recite quran near their grave but no chadar or bowing down which many so called sunni muslim do.
We should be called as MUSLIM and not sunni, shia or wahabi.
I respect Dr Zakir Naik and applaud his effort to spread Dawa all around the world by Peace TV channel which none of the other islamic organization has done till now. I have listen to many of his lectures and seen non-muslim accepting Islam in bunch of crowd. I attended his last lecture in Dubai on 28/8/09 where 5 non-muslim accepted islam. This is great job and I am sorry for the people who called him Kafir or write against him.
May Allah (SWT) guide all of us to the right path
Mian Safyan Shah // September 21, 2009 at 11:11 pm |
Assalamualaikum WaRahmatullahe WaBarakatuhu Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I just want to say, read about “Fitna E Najd”. It’s even present in the Predictions of our Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Aleyhe WaAlihe Wasallam).
When you read about the Fitnah, you’ll come to know, what Zakir Naik is preaching and what he’s trying to do in actual. Zakir Naik is a strict follower of Abdul Wahab Najdi (from Najd) who created this Fitnah and call every other person (then themselved) a Mushrik. Indeed he was a Laanti, so are his followers including Zakir Naik of-course.
May Allah Subhanahu WatAla prevent us from this Fitnah.
Amen.
Wassalam.
suhaila // October 1, 2009 at 6:16 pm |
Dr Zakir Naik is one f the most intelligent and commendable personality in todays era.. He stands firmly stands for what he belieeves and is striving for all humanity to follow the Authentic Sunnah and Quran .. When Allah SWT has perfected the Deen and has been clearly stated in Quran then which muslim is going to say that another human is going to show the way.. its simple logic and as far as the comments sadia madam (made on ndtv interview) makes is on the grounds of love and so on and so forth when Islam is implemented in the pure form the result is of pure love and peace n harmony .. having your own ideoligy is fine for one who is not willing to submit to Allahs ordain but for the one who wants t follow the guidelines that our creator has given then it is vital to follow the true messgae ofcourse people are bound to get angry thats the challenge and the immense rewarding for striving for Allahs Deen.. if you dont like the message not a problme but he has free speech which he dr zakir Naik has always boasts about that his country offers him so then why condemn him … its because he is famaous and rising and the people that dont agree with him want his downfall but its a test for him and Allah Willing he will be fine May Allah SWT make easy this test and help him through this difficult time. and as for the funding sadia there are hundreds if not thousands of viewers like me who financially support his channel and now i will be setting a m,onthly direct debit to ensure Peace TV keeps receiving that support and he is not a terrorist .. if i state one line of your s ourt of context i can make you sound like a disrespectful lady but the same when said in context can have a completely different viewpoint.. i have watched hours of Peace Tv and never has he supported . how many times has he said that Allah SWT has mentioned in the Quran that to kill one innocent life is equal to killing all of Mankind?? so get your facts rights before you open your mouth .
i would like to bring your attention to one criterion that islam is fundamentally based on, as far as the guidelines of day to day life are .. islam cuts the roots of all possible causes which may lead to the destruction of the human body and soul(caused by emotional turmoil- one cant practise deen to one full capability if one is not functioning 100%) now taking this point further as far as visiting graves you know many who go to graves may say that we only do prayer or put put flowers.. you know nothing haram .. so it should be fine … maybe but i saw hard hitting facts that there are simple people out there who arenot going to rack their brains to get alternative answers and are going to carry on with what they have seen being done … i was about 15 when i saw my mums friends home video that she had brought back from pakistan and what i saw i cannot fget to this day ..small village people many poeple gathered and you will not believe PROSTRATING infront of graves.? now arent we as muslims FORBIDDEN to bow down to or seek anyones help but Allah SWT ? N ow you see that is the grave vising act gone to the deepend where they have slowly fallen into the belief that doing such will help them.. so its not difficult to imagine what today some people are praying to ,putting flowers on tommorow their next generations will be prostrating to? that is why even this practise is forbidden.. cut from the root so that its easy for mankind not to get decievedby Satan.
lastly we all shall be meeting with our Lord no one can deny that so let all hold their tonguue and say that hich they can stand by on the day of Judgement when only your deeds will be worth anything ..
May Allah SWT grant untiy in the muslim ummah and let us strive to make this world a better place with our muslim and non muslim brothers n sisters.

Asalamualaikum.Dekho bhai is tarah ladne jhagadne se masle hal nahin hote,Mai zakir naik ke sath hoon aur inshallah rahunga.Pehle mai bhi dr zakir naik ke khilaaf tha lekin jab unke videos dekha to pata chala ke wo sahih baat karte hai quran aur hadees ke roshni me.Aur har baat par reference dete hai confidence ke sath.Doosre Ulema sirf hava me teer chalate hai without reference.Wo log kuch bhi kehde to logo ko sahih lagta hai,unhe yeh nahin pata ke ulema jo kehrahe hai sach hai ya ghalath.Dr zakir naik ke khilaaf jo uleme fatwa derahe hai uski asal wajah yeh hai ke dr zakir naik ki wajah se un sab ulema ki dukaan band horahi hai.Log aaj kal har baat pe reference maang rahe hai jo ulema nahin de sakta.Mai har ulema ko nahin kehraha hoon Kuch ache ulema bhi hai.kuch log zakir naik se jal rahe hai kyun ki unki speech me lakho ki public hoti hai aur ulema utni public ko jamaa nahin kar sakte,uski wajah se unlogo ki dukaane band horahi hai un ke paas se koi fatwa nahin leraha hai.Zakir naik hum tumhare sath hai aap is zameen pe rehkar kar allah ki touheed ko zinda kijiye,inshallah allah aap ki madad karega.Yeh jhoote ulema apna kaam karenge unki parwah na karna.ab mujhe is comment ke khilaaf kai replies ayenge un logo ki taraf se jinke ankho per patti hai jo sach baat ko nahin samajte sirf apne banaye hue firqo ke maan ne wale hai.
