Dr Zakir Naik
Rashid Jahangiri has submitted the following.
On ‘Pak Tea House’ blog an article on Dr. Zakir Naik is posted:
Muslims In Introspection Mode… Now a Fatwa on Dr. Zakir Naik
by Sadia Dehlvi
I wrote following comment that awaits moderation:
“Secret” of Dr. Zakir Naik’s “scholarship”.
From where Dr. Zakir Naik gets his “knowledge”?
ZN impresses Muslims and Hindus by Memorizing ONLY ONE BOOK. Actually he has TV program [on PeaceTV, UK] name based on this book.
Book name:
MUHAMMAD IN WORLD SCRIPTURES
by Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi (in 3 volumes)
You can read it online here.
Actually, if you open the above book, on line, and listen to ZN speech (i have done it online) his quotes that impress listeners come in order from the same book. It is different thing that he lacks moral courage to acknowledge his source of knowledge.
You can see the original Urdu version:
Meesaq-un-Nabiyyeen:
by Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi
From Zahid Aziz:
In a TV interview with Dr Shahid Masud of ARY TV, Dr Zakir Naik has stated that non-Muslims cannot be allowed to propagate their
religions in a Muslim country or build places of worship because their religions and their worship are false. You can watch this interview here:

In the clip below from the same channel with Dr Shahid Masud, Dr Naik says that a Muslim who changes his religion must be given the death penalty:

Just listen to his ridiculous arguments in support of this. This shows that he is just another bigoted Mulla.
From Rashid:
Yes, indeed ZK is bigoted Mulla. This is the reason i wrote:
“ZK impresses Muslims and Hindus by Memorizing ONLY ONE BOOK” i.e. MUHAMMAD IN WORLD SCRIPTURES. Otherwise he is devoid of any Islamic Scholarship and rationality.
From Rashid:
Prophecy of PM-HMGA
PM-HMGA wrote somewhere: Christianity will dissolve like salt; it will be atheism that Islam will confront.
Surfing the Internet I came across a funny article, which actually is an open latter to Dr. Laura, the famous syndicated columnist published on daily basis in many newspapers in United States. Dr. Laura answers reader’s questions on myriad topics, including Bible teachings.

From Rashid:
A comment on ZN’s reply in first video.
ZN gave irrational answer to question.
As i remember, it was the area around Makka (i guess Hijaz) where non muslims are prohibited to propagate their religion on build their places of worship. It was for reason that they were creating disturbance in society. Later on Muslims and now current rulers of Saudi Arabia has included whole of SA in the sacred precincts. This is the reasons when US military was stationed in SA, they were not allowed to buid their church and they worshiped in their homes etc.
Prohibiting people of other religion from building their places of worship in sacred precincts is acceptable rule in world. In Vatican City, a mosque can not be built. Neither christian denominations other than Catholics are allowed to build their churches. Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks.
From Bashir:
Dr Zakir Naik is a genius. I have seen him answer many questions. I am impressed by his scholarship. He said once that Jihad was conditional…..
I was so impressed….

From Mahbubur Rahman:
Zakir Naik always quotes from the proper religious holy scriptures by heart accurately. He is an honest, modest and genious person. Ahmadiyyas (non-muslims) wrongly accused him of not quoting reference. Why didn’t the ahmadiyyas remove the curtain from their eyes and see the “full” debates/discussions delivered by Zakir Naik. I found some videos of Zakir Naiks debates posted by ahmadiyyas are intentionally edited and out of context.
From Zahid Aziz:
The first post above by Rashid Jahangiri states that Zakir Naik’s presentation on prophecies about the Holy Prophet Muhammad, especially in Hindu scriptures, is based on Lahore Ahmadiyya books published long ago.
At this link you can access the first English edition of Muhammad in World Scriptures by Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi published in 1940, almost 70 years ago. Just look at the Hindu and Zoroastrian sections of the book and compare with Zakir Naik’s lectures. If he is that honest, he should at least acknowledge this. Perhaps his supporters could ask him this question at a lecture.
Then in my comment above, I gave links to interviews with Zakir Naik on a Pakistani TV channel where he stated that Islam prohibits non-Muslims from propagating their religions or building places of worship in a Muslim country. But he himself is living in a non-Muslim country preaching Islam to its non-Muslim majority!
His argument is laughable, that it is like appointing a teacher to teach children mathematics who himself doesn’t know 2+2 correctly. This means he thinks that Muslim adults in a Muslim country are like little children who will accept whatever they are told by some non-Muslim preacher! Children in a school have to have a teacher who must teach correct facts because they believe whatever the teacher says. Adults listening to a preacher can make up their own minds.
From Mueen khan:
when prophet Muhammad preached Islam, Kufar Macca always miss qutted him.
If you are true follower of Islam and know the knowledge of Islam,then you should not write anything against Dr Zakir Naik.
Dr Zakir naik is truely genuess.
From Zahid Aziz:
Blog readers, ever since we dared post critical remarks about Dr Zakir Naik I have been receiving, now and then, comments such as the above from his admirers, many of which I did not post. My article Dr Zakir Naik and the Lahore Ahmadiyya book Muhammad in World Scriptures has also provoked the wrath of his devotees.
What this Mueen Khan has written is absolutely absurd. It means if anyone wants to go to heaven as a true Muslim he should not write anything against Dr ZN! To criticise ZN is like attacking the Holy Prophet Muhammad!
Another person wrote to me:
“If Dr. Zakir reveales the The Same Truth as Maulana Vidyarthy did many years before, he has not committed any crime against morality and ethics.”
So if someone, in some remote part of the world, publishes the teachings of the religion of Islam as if they were his own, he is revealing “the same truth” as the Holy Prophet Muhammad and has not committed any crime against morality!
There seems to be a whole industry of blind admirers of Dr ZN. There is even a website called “I love Zakir Naik”: http://www.ilovezakirnaik.com. Is this a personality cult?
