Text of Dr. Zakir Naik’s “letter of repentance”
By Abdul Hameed, TwoCircles.net
Mumbai: Controversy regarding Dr. Zakir Naik’s statement that offended a section of Muslims and threatened to disrupt his ten-day Peace Conference was laid to rest by him signing a “letter of repentance” and offering apology for his remarks.
A copy of the letter made available to TwoCircles.net displays Dr. Zakir Naik’s signature in English. Text of the letter is in Urdu and is on plain paper. In it Dr. Naik says what he said was an unintentional slip of tongue and he takes back his words.
Dr. Naik, who is famous for inter-religious dialogues and Islamic preaching also said that he will never repeat those words again. The Peace Conference that started on 14th November will continue till 23rd November in Mumbai.
Full text of the letter:
"I gave a controversial statement that it is forbidden for us to follow Prophet Muhammad(saw). After listening to it I, a true Muslim who believes in Allah and the Prophet (saw), can never utter such a thing. And in the future also I will never repeat the same. Whatever I spoke was unintentionally due to the slip off of the tongue for which I seek forgiveness of Allah and take back my words.
Signed,
Zakir Naik,

Islam
May be my topic might be different from the above arguements, but whatever i thought to explain i m posting it.
Islam is the best Example for humanity, Our Prophet(PBUH), always taught us to be on right path.
Ek Saccha Musalman: He will never say lies, he will never earn haram money, he will never hurt others.
Are we on right path, we were misguided by our daily living, & now the time is that we are surronded by lots of worries.
Whenever we are happy we will celebrate it, but when we have a minor problem we will react as we are in a big sorrow, at that time we will raise our hands in front of Allah & we will ask for help.
Our prophet(PBUH) never pointed anyone that he is Sunni/Wahabi/Deobandi/Ahle hadees/ Ahle sunnat/24/Laddu...?????
Then why we are merging in it???
Dr. Zakir Naik is the person who faced all the questions of non-muslims & muslims, & gave them a proper answer, but instead of collecting knowledge from him our community is finding his faults.
Whenever the matters come of Dargah people starts arguing on it.
When a person expires in islam its strictly warned that u cant make a pakki Qabar,all of us are aware of it.But all the Dargah's are of pakki Qabar + u will find that its surrounding is well furnished, there will be round Gumbbad,minars...etc
None of the wali-allah's told there followers to make pakki qabar,then why it is built???
Normally people says that we are not doing shirk by going to dargah, i would like to ask them,that when u know that the structure which is made there is against islam,then also is it fine to go there???
Or else do one thing make that structure according to our islam,then it will become like a grave & u can visit it.As visiting grave is not prohibited in islam
Agarbatti/Flowers/attar/Chadars what is it for??
Once our Prophet(PBUH) were passing on the way they found one grave,they kept some leaves on it,one person asked them why did they do so?
Our Prophet(PBUH)replied that the person inside the grave is screaming due to punishment,he will get some relief(cool) till the time the leaves are green.
This hadees peoples took as chadar's & flowers & they are continuing it.
Slightly misunderstanding became continue & now u can see the results of it.In ajmer khadim's ask u how much will be ur offerings or what amount chadar u want?
peoples pay 500-5000 for the chadars,the khadim will take the chadar with u,he will put it on the Mazaar & after some time the chadar will be found back in the khadim's shop,RECYCLE.
All knows about it but they still pay for it.
Is there any hadees which mentions that our Prophet(PBUH)
said to make dargah or go & ask for help from dargah???
I too used to go to dargah every thursday, i used to stand near the mazaar n recite quran aayaths, but when i was able to know the truth that i m wrong i stopped all that.
I was knowing that i will be not able to make that structure as per islamic terms,thats why i stopped.
Now a days peoples are celebrating our Prophet's(PBUH)birthday every year,is it right????
Islam never taught us to celebrate birhday.
Neither our Prophet(PBUH) told to celebrate birthdays.
Julus/Urs....etc is there any defination about it,no then also people are celebrating it.
May be i was wrong somewhere in the above topic,sorry if so.
Allah knows best,whats right & whats wrong.
be meaningfull not shameless
Zakir Naik is not like any uncivilized person, any body critising him has to look what he himself has contributted to Islam and its followers. We all know that he has not much command over Urdu and he always admitts it before the talks. Still if anybody wants to defame him, I personally feel that the deframer has no knowledge of Islam and is far from being a muslim. These are the work of the arrogant enemies of Islam. or their weak knowledge.
Dr Zakir Naiks Comment On Yazid
Its a propaganda machinery which started working just after the Shahadate Imam Husain (A S)& is evident from the facts that even the people of Shamu Kufa were not aware of the identity of AhleBAit(AS)when they were imprisoned so Let Dr Zakir Naik or anyone say what they want as Our Imam Is Here with us & lets leave the matter in his hand & yes we should keep on telling the world what is the Truth with our acts & deeds & moreover we are the Largest community in world who has been the target of TERRORISM since the Demise of Prophet (PBUH).So lets lift ourselves & behave in exempalary manner that TRUTH PREVAILS OVER THE FALSEHOOD.
Curse on Zakir Naik son of Yazeed LA'NATULLAH (curse on him)
Zakir Naik who favours YAZEED (CURSE BE UPON HIM) Who killed Imam Husain(as) in karbala in 61 Hijri. Zakir Naik is an american agent he always speaks against true Islam, MAY ALLAH CURSE ZAKIR NAIK AND HIS FAMILY AND PARENTS,
ALLAH HUMMA LA'AN QATLATA HUSAIN(as) WA AWLADIL HUSAIN(AS) WA AS-HABIL HUSAIN(AS).
Assalamu Alaeekum.
No. As a true Muslim, I can never start pointing at someone like this. Dr. Zakir Naik is the person who has put so many disbelievers and Non Muslims to the right path. He's the one who talks about Sahih Hadith and Quran. How can I just start blaming him for something that I don't even know much about. If you give references, why do you people don't think that he (who has done so much research) would say such thing without any proof and without any research. I really don't understand how people like us start believing whatever we see and whatever we hear from others.
At the end, I have questions regarding this "muafi naama" or "letter of repentace" whatever you call it. Why would he give his Muaafi naam "letter of repentance" in Urdu.
Why would he not use English, or Arabic?
If he preferred to write it in English. May I ask if this was written in Pakistan. As I don't think that an INDIAN Police Commissioner would read an URDU letter or even if they know Urdu at all.
How can his signatures be so poor (being a doctor)
If you notice in this letter, his signatures and the date the numbers are just like a kid from grade 1. While the Urdu is written in such a beautiful script. It's fake. It's fake and it's fake.
If there are any Muslim people here on this page reading my comment, I will ask you not to start abusing me. Not to abuse him. Not to start fighting with anyone who differs from you.
This is not the way how it should be. As a Muslim, first thing you should know is, Why, Why, Why did he say that. Let's find out if it's true or not.
Not true: Let's talk to him and let him know what's the right path (instead of blaming)
Lastly: I don't even think that there's any real person on this page. These are hidden identities aiming to make us fight. Just fight.
And that's what we do.
I am sure and I hope that all of you people are sensible enough to hit your little brother for a wrong doing but then you feel like talking to him and be friendly. Instead of turning into an enemy forever.
Thanks,
Allah u Akbar.
proof of islae sawab for those who passed away
brother mushafiq we go to dargah or khabar for isale sawab what other does dont compare to us may be they doing wrong things there
“It is Bid'ah (innovation) to recite the Qur'an for Isaal-e-Sawab of those who have passed away, regardless whether the deceased is your parent or relative. There is no evidence supporting this practice in the authentic sources of Islam, in the Seerah of the Prophet (Pbuh) or the life of his Companions. Didn't deaths occur during the time of the companions ? Why then, we do not find any such evidence from their lives ?”
The truth:
AlBayhaqiyy[1] related that Ibn ^Umar (radiya-llâhu ^anhumâ) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allâh (salla-llâhu ^alayhi wasallam) say (what means): “When one of you dies, do not imprison him, take him quickly to his grave and read the beginning of alBaqarah next to his head and the end of sura alBaqarah by his feet”. AtTabarâniyy reported the same text, except that it says (what means): “The fâtihah next to his head”.
The evidence:
AnNasâ'iyy, arRâfi^iyy[2] and 'Abû Muhammad asSamarqandiyy [3] reported that Imâm ^Aliyy (radiya-llâhu ^anh) said: “Whoever goes past graves, reads “qul Huwa-llâhu 'ahad” eleven times and offers the reward to the dead, receives as many rewards as the number of the dead”.
AnNasâ'iyy reported through Ma^qil ibn Yassâr[4] that the Messenger of Allâh(salla-llâhu ^alayhi wasallam) said what means: “ Read/recite (sura) Yâsîn over your dead”. It is narrated by Abû Dâwûd in his Sunan (Janâ'iz), anNasâ'iyy in his Sunan (^Amalu lyawmi wallaylah), Ibn Mâjah in his Sunan (Janâ'iz), and Ibn Hibban in his Sahîh (Ihsan), and he declared it sound (sahîh). If people say: “some scholars declare it to be weak , it is replied: Imâm anNawawiyy mentioned in his introduction to the Forty Hadîths: “scholars have agreed that acting upon the content of a weak hadîth is one of the good deeds”.
Indeed this is a known rule: as long as a da^îf hadîth does not contradict what is reliable, it is rewardable to act upon it. This is the answer the hâfizu lhadîth, faqîh in the four schools of Islam, Shaykh ^Abdullâh alHarariyy answered to Mawlânâ Târiq Kamâl when he asked him a question on this very topic.
AlBukhâriyy [5] reported through Ibn ^Abbâs (radiya-llâhu ^anh) what means: Once the Prophet(salla-llâhu ^alayhi wasallam), while passing through one of the graveyards of Medina or Mecca heard the voices of two persons who were being tormented by Allâh in their graves. The Prophet (^alayhi ssalâtu wassalâm) said: “These two people are not tortured for {what looks like} a major sin; actually one of them would not purify himself of urine while the other used to go about reporting backbiting to its victims”. The Prophet (salla-llâhu ^alayhi wasallam) then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, broke it into two pieces and put one on each grave. On being asked why he had done so, he replied: “I hope that their torture might be lessened, till these get dried.”
alQurtubiyy said: “Some of our scholars deduced it is lawful to read Qur'ân on a grave from the hadîth (reported by alBukhâriyy and Muslim) where it is said that the Prophet (salla-llâhu ^alayhi wasallam) divided a palm leaf in two and then planted one half on a grave and another half on another grave and said (what means): “May be this will alleviate their suffering, as long as it does not dry”. He said: “If their suffering was alleviated by pieces of trees, what about a believing man reading Qur'ân!”.
Imâm anNawawiyy mentioned in Kitâbu l'Adhkâr that ashShâfi^iyy and his disciples said: “It is mustahabb (recommended) for people to recite something from the Qur'ân by him (the dead person) and they said, “If they complete the whole Qur’ân, this is good”, after burying the deceased person. AshShâfi^iyy wrote something to this effect.
It is related that al^Alâ' ibn alLajlaj said to his children: "When you bury me, say as you place me in the side-opening (lahd) of the grave: Bismillâh wa^alâ millati rasûlillâh - In the name of Allâh and according to the way of Allâh's Messenger - then flatten the earth over me, and read at the head of my grave the beginning of Sura alBaqara and its end, for I have seen that Ibn ^Umar liked it." Narrated by alBayhaqiyy in asSunan alKubrà, Ibn Qudâmah in alMughnî and atTabarâniyy in alKabîr that the latter’s narrators were all declared trustworthy.
^Aliyy ibn Mûsà alHaddâd said: “I was once with 'Ahmad ibn Hanbal at a funeral in the company of Muhammad ibn Qudâmah alJawhariyy. After the dead was buried a blind man came up and recited [from the Qur'ân] beside the grave. “O So-and-so”, 'Ahmad said to him, ‘Recitation at the graveside is an innovation (bid^ah)!’ But when we left the graveyard Muhammad ibn Qudâmah asked 'Ahmad, ‘O 'Abû ^Abdillâh, what is your opinion of Mubashshir ibn Ismâ^îl alHalabiyy?’ ‘A sound authority,’ he said, ‘have you written anything down from him?’... ‘Yes,’ he replied, ‘Mubashshir ibn 'Ismâ^îl related to me on the authority of his father, on the authority of AbdurRahmân ibn al^Alâ' ibn alLajlaj, on the authority of his father, that he had requested that upon his death the opening and closing verses of the Chapter of the Cow should be recited over his grave, saying: I heard Ibn ^Umar requesting that this be done.’ Thereupon, 'Ahmad said to him, ‘Return to the man, and tell him to recite’.” Narrated by alGhazâli in his 'Ihyâ', book of ‘The Remembrance of Death and the Afterlife,’ alKhallâl narrates it in al'Amr bilma^rûf , Ibn Qudâmah in alMughnî and Qal^a'jiyy in Fiqh Ibn ^Umar. AnNawawiyy said in Kitâb al'adhkâr: “We also narrated in Bayhaqi’s Sunan with a good (hasan) chain that Ibn ^Umar liked for the beginning and the end of Surat alBaqarah to be recited over the grave after burial.”
AshShawkâniyy in Tuhfatu_dhdhâkirîn cited alJazariyy’s instruction in alHisnu_lHasîn: “Let one recite over the grave, after burial, the beginning of Surat alBaqarah and its end.” This is based on Ibn ^Umar’s words narrated by alBayhaqiyy in his Sunan: “I like that it be read over the grave the beginning of Surat alBaqarah and its end.” ashShawkâniyy comments: “AnNawawiyy declared its chain good (hassana 'isnadâhu), and even if it is only Ibn ^Umar’s saying, such as this is not uttered on the basis of mere opinion. It is possible that because of what he learned of the benefit of such recitation generally speaking, he then deemed it desirable that it be read over the grave due to its merit, in the hope that the deceased benefit from its recitation.”
alZa^farâniyy said: "I asked ashShâfi^iyy about reciting Qur'ân at the graveside and he said: lâ ba'sa bihi - There is no harm in it." alKhallâl narrated it in al'Amr bilma^rûf and asSayûtiyy in Sharhu sSudûr.
zakir naik comments on Yazid
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
This is in reference to article in Times of India dated 09-11-08, “group threatens to disrupt Zakir Naik’s conference” by Mohammed Wajihuddin.
As per the above article, Zakir Naik has refused to label Osama bin Laden as terrorist but ‘condemns the perpetrators of 9/11’ since many of the innocent people including women and child were killed in the world trade centre bombing.
However, he believes that Yazid (c.b.u.h.) son of Moaviya, (the Bani Umayyad clan) needs to be hailed and not condemned. Yazid, who under his instructions, Shimar (c.b.u.h.) decapitates Imam Husain (A.S.) and his Companions and does not even spare 6 month old Aliasger (a.s.) son of Imam Husain (A.S.) and even he is killed. Further, the women and Imam ZainulAbedin (A.S.) were taken from Karbala to Damascus and kept in prison. What was sin that they commit that they need to be kept in prison? Just because they were the only surviving family of Imam Husain (A.S.) and Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W.).
One has to understand the hypocrisy of Zakir Naik. He condemns the perpetrators of 9/11 and praises and has good regards of Yazid(c.b.u.h.) who killed the grandson of Imam Husain(A.S.). Imam Husain (A.S.) and his followers were also true believers and innocent people. Zakir Naik may justify that imam Husain (A.S.) had rebelled against Yazid. However, that is untrue, Imam Husain (A.S.) was invited by the people of Kufa and that is why Imam Husain (A.S.) came with his family.
When a man speaks then only his worth is known. My appeal to all muslim brothers is that he is allowed to speak. If Allah wants to levy punishment on someone, then the punishment can be imposed only when the person commits the sin and does not repent. Hence no apology etc needs to ask from Zakir Naik. May Allah keep all the Faithfulls on right path and the muslims brothers need to awaken their faith in Islam and understand and judge who is right and who is on wrong side before death overtakes and before it becomes too late.
It is important for all Muslims that the importance of progeny of Prophet Muhammad is respected by Muslims as it ought to be respected. Who is near to Prophet Mohammed, the companions or his family? But ironically when Muslims pray namaz (salaat) 5 times a day and 17 rakats – he prays respect to Prophet Mohammed (p.b.u.h) and Ale Mohammed (his descendents)(p.b.u.t). But practically the respect that is expected is lost and it is proven in Karbala where Imam Husain (A.S.) was killed by muslim army. Allah Subhanu mentions of two word in Quran – munafiqeen (hypocrite) and momineen (faithful), faithful to Prophet Mohammed (p.b.u.h.) and his descendants.
Few verses of Quran so that you may inquire and investigate so as to increase ones faith in Islam and Iman.
“ and We did not send any Messenger except to be obeyed by the permission of Allah. And if any one wronged themselves, they had come to you and asked Allah’s forgiveness and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them surely they would have found Allah Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.” Surah 4: v 64.
“ Or are they jealous of the people for what Allah has given them from His Bounty? But surely we gave the family of Ibrahim the Book and the wisdom and gave them a great kingdom. Then of them are some who believed in him and of them are some who turned away from him. And sufficient is Hell as a Blazing Fire.” Surah 4: v 54-55. one has to understand that who has believed in the family of Ibrahim and who has turned away even in today’s time.
“ And be patient over what they say, and avoid them with gracious avoidance” Surah 73: v 10.
“ When the hypocrites come to you, they say, “ we testify that you are surely the Messenger of Allah.” And Allah knows that you are surely His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are surely liars. They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they turn away (people) from the way of Allah. Indeed, evil is what used to do.” Surah 63 : v 1 - 2
“ that is because they believed, then they disbelieved; so their hearts are sealed, therefore they do not understand” Surah 63 : v 3
“ And when you see them, their bodies please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. (They are) as if they were pieces of wood propped up. They think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them ! How are they deluded?” Surah 63 : v 4
“ And when it is said to them, “Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you.” They turn aside their heads and you see them turning away while they are arrogant.” Surah 63 : v 5
“ it is same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or you do not ask forgiveness for them. Allah will never forgive them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.” Surah 63 : v 6
“ And certainly We have sent Nuh and Ibrahim, and We placed in their offspring Prophet hood and the scripture; and among them are guided ones, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.” Surah 57; v 26
“ Nay, they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused state.” Surah 50 : v 5
“ Certainly We have brought you the truth, but most of you are averse to the truth.” Surah 43: v 78
“ and indeed, they turn them away from the path but they think that they are rightly guided.” Surah 43 ; v 37.
“ and if Allah willed, He could have made them one community, but He admits whom He wills into His Mercy. And the wrongdoers have no protector or helper.” Surah 42 : v 8.
“ So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare. “ Surah 36: v 76.
“and it is the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.” Surah 36 :v 10
“and they will say, “ Our Lord! Indeed we obeyed our chiefs and our great men, and they misled us from the right way.”” “Our Lord ! Give them double punishment and curse them with a great curse” Surah 33 : v 67-68.
“ and whoever disbelieves, let not his disbelief grieve you. To Us is their return, then We will inform them of what they did. Indeed, Allah is All-Knower of what is within the breasts” Surah 31 : v 23.
“ they intend to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His Light although the disbelievers dislike it.” Surah 61 : v 8
“ and it is not for a soul to believe except by the permission of Allah. And He will place the wrath on those who do not use reason.” Surah 10 : v 100.
“ and the Shaitaan will say when the matter has been decided, “indeed, Allah had promised you a promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot be your helper, nor can you be my helper. Indeed I deny your association of me before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers there is a painful punishment.” Surah 14 : v 22.
“ none will have the power of intercession except he who has taken a convent from the Most Gracious.” Surah 19 : v 87.
“ do the people think that they will be left because they say, “we believe” and they will not be tested? And indeed, We tested those before them. And Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.” Surah 29 : v 3
“ but they will surely carry their (own) burdens and (other) burdens with their burdens, and surely they will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about what they used to invent.” Surah 29 : v 13.
“and if you obey most of those on the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah. They follow nothing except assumption, and they are not but guessing. Surah 6 : v 116
“indeed, those whom the Angels take (in death) while they were wronging themselves-they(the Angels ) will say, “in what (condition ) were you ?” They will say, “we were oppressed in the earth.” They (the Angels ) will say “was not the earth of Allah spacious (enough) for you to emigrate therein?” then those will have their abode in Hell and evil it is as a destination.” Surah 4 : v 97.
“ and of the people there are some who say “we believe in Allah and in the Last Day,” but they are not believers (at all). They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe, but they do not deceive except themselves and they do not realize it.” Surah 2 : v 8-9.
“ O mankind! Surely a convincing proof ( Arabic : Burhanoon ) has come to you from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a clear light. So as for those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him – he will admit them in his mercy and bounty and will guide them to himself on a straight way.” Surah 4 : v 174 – 175.
Zakir Naik calls himself as “servant of Allah” and a Daee (Dai) calling to Islam and doing Dawaat to non-muslims. But in Quran Surah 33 : v 46 “And as one who invites (Dai) to Allah by His permission, and as an illuminating lamp.” And in Surah 46 : v 31 Allah says “ O our people ! respond to the caller (Dai) and believe in him. He will forgive for you your sins and protect you from a painful punishment. And whoever does not respond to the caller (Dai) of Allah, then he cannot escape on the earth and he will have no protectors besides him. Those are in clear error.”
How has Allah given Zakir Naik permission ?
REGARDING TERRORISM
Reference to article “Muslim leaders lash out at govt” in Times of India, it was reported that Maulana Bashiruddin said that only solution to the riots was jihad and asked muslims to be ready.
In Quran, Allah says “indeed, those whom the Angels take (in death) while they were wronging themselves-they (the Angels ) will say, “in what (condition ) were you ?” They will say, “ We were oppressed in the earth.” They (the Angels ) will say “was not the earth of Allah spacious (enough) for you to emigrate therein?” then those will have their abode in Hell and evil it is as a destination.” Surah 4 : v 97.
Muslims in India have to understand that they are residing in Hindustan, land of the Hindus. They are in majority and they are like elder brothers. If the young brother is grown in well mannered then if the elder brother hits or scolds then the young brother should not hit back. If he is discomfort, he will merely voice out his opinion to his elder brother. If there is no improvement, he will relocate himself to any other place.
In Quran, Surah 2 : V 153, “ O you who believe! Seek help through patience and the prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient ones.” In Surah 103 : v 1-5, “ by the After noon, indeed, mankind is in loss, except those who believe and do righteous deeds and enjoin each other to the truth and enjoin each other to patience.”
Muslims should practice patience if there is any discomfort in the society. But in no way violence needs to be practiced when there is no Islamic rule. When there is Islamic state, Jihad is a defensive battle to safegurad the property, women, children etc from the invading country.
Presently the Muslim brotthers may just voice out peacefully to the ruling government the problems but cannot demand. They have to be sure that what ever troubles befalls them is by the Will of Allah.
“ do the people think that they will be left because they say, “we believe” and they will not be tested? And indeed, We tested those before them. And Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.” Surah 29 : v 3
Jihad is defencive violence to be practiced when there is threat to the state and not create civil war or rioting and disturb the peace in the nation in which the muslims are staying. Jihad is also the inner struggle to control the desires in the believers.
From Prophet Musa(Moses)(A.S.), Prophet Isa(Jesus) (A.S.) and Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W.) all did not take up violence as a means to overcome the trouble that they were put in by Allah.
MOUHAMMAD WOULD HAVE WEPT IN THE GRAVE
I as a HINDU thought so. Muhammad would have wept in his grave when YAZID KILLED HUSAIN WHO GREW UP ON THE LAP OF MUHAMMAD AND EXTERMINATED "ahl al bayt". I as a grand father can well imagine the pain felt by Muhammad. How can any MUSLIM - a Sunni or Shia ever hold YAZID in any esteem?????
Repentance by Dr. Zakir Naik Saheb
There is not even an iota of doubt that a true Muslim will not tolerate anything against beloved Prophet (SAW). I have been watching Dr. Zakir Naik almost regularly on TV speaking on varied topics. He has been delivering lectures both in English and Urdu and from his lectures there seems to be no reason to doubt his faith in the finality of Prophethood and he has been stressing to follow the teachings of glorious Quran and Hadith. I have even heard him saying that Zakir Naik is zero and whatever he quotes is from Quran and Hadith and that is what we should follow. Dr. Zakir Naik’s speeches in English are very forceful and elaborate but he does not have full command on Urdu which he has himself been admitting and requesting people to forgive him for any mistake. Dr. Naik has admitted that he has made the statement purely due to a slip of tongue and not intentionally and has sought forgiveness of Allah. It is our faith and belief that it is the Almighty Allah who forgives a person and we are nobody to doubt anybody’s faith and call him Kafir or anything else. There is therefore no point in stretching this issue more so when he has tendered an unconditional apology and taken his words back. We must understand that Dr. Naik is a human being and he is expected to commit a mistake for which he has sought forgiveness of Allah. Only Prophets do not commit mistakes because they speak Allah’s words through their tongue. Let us seek blessings of Allah for the whole Muslim Umah which is faced with number of problems.
Appology only for Slip of his tongue.
We all know that zakir naik recently started to give talks in Urdu, and always and i mean always he says in the start of the talk that If i make a mistake in urdu please apologize me and concentrate on the main topic and what i am trying to convey.
So in the video zakir naik says "You only we worship and You only we ask for help"(Surah Fatiha) in urdu/hindi he said, "Teri Hi Ibadat karte hain Allah aur tujese Hi [b]MAANG TE[/b] hain." and in explaining this he said, "Prophet(pbuh) ko MAANG na bhi allowed nahi hai"
But.. This "MAANG na" by slip of his tongue came out as "MAAN na" And the so called people caught him on that, if you listen to his lecture you will understand exactly what he was saying.. Even the Asst.commissioner of police explained them, But these people were very arrogant. So zakir naik apologized only for that, though he had already apologized in start of his lecture.
The so called group of people who objected,were cornered by zakir naik and the Shia dint even pick up the Yazeed issue. they dint have any other Proof against zakir naik and they became arrogant on that statement.

Repentance of Dr. Zakir Naik. For those brothers & sisters who a
Only Allah Subhanahuta'la is the final authority to forgive any one & in this respect there are numerous verses in Holy Quran for seeking Allah's mercy in the way of Tawba. There lies the difference between socalled modern Mullahs like Dr. Zakir Naik & those great Awlias like Hazrat Khawja Moinuddin Chisty (Rh) who were devoting their life in praise & love of Allah Almighty & love for His Prophet (SWA). They never had any personal motive of gaining cheap popularity through publicity. Non Muslims in thousands turned to Islam being moved by their piety & selflessness, love for Allah, His prophet (SWA), simplicity of their life style and above all for their humanity. This is the reason they are remembered with reverence hundreds of years after their demise. Man like Dr. Zakir Naik because of their arrogance & proudness in mind Allah Subhanahutala give them lessons sometime-one such lesson Dr. Naik had to shoulder now. May Allah forgive him & shows the right path.

Dr. Zakir Naik is on truth
to Dr. G. Ahmed,
Sir, how many non muslims have u reverted to Islam? If no then u have no right to target a sincere and selfless person like Dr. Zakir Naik. What he said was only slip of tongue. There is something called common sense which u dont have. If he by slip of tongue said that it is forbidden to follow Prophet Muhammad, then he also in other lectures says that we should follow the Prophet. Do u have common sense or not? Giving example of Moinuddin Chisti(ra) here and comparing him to Dr. Zakir Naik again is absurd. It is Allah alone who know the intentions. By you saying that Dr. Zakir Naik wants to gain cheap publicity, You are alleging a wrong thing which u have non authority to say. u should b ashamed of calling urself a muslim. What are u doing for Islam? People like u dont carry any weight. u only know how to pass comments. These thug maulvis who passed fatwa against him only know to pass fatwas and eat halwa. Dr. Zakir Naik is a humble. He signed this nonsense document to let peace prevail. He is far better than u. What he says is DONT WORSHIP GRAVES. ok
Moinuddin Chisti(ra) never told u to worship him. Why are u worshipping him and giving a wrong picture to non muslims. One hindu told me I went to Ajmer and u muslims also worship saints. Now, learn to shut up sometimes. Dont dare to criticize Dr. Zakir.ok.
Why for just one Zakir Naik,
Why for just one Zakir Naik, You are doing to hold the entire Ummah of The Holy Prophet SAWS as mushrik. who says that giving respect to the pious people is a shirk. This statement is false as the western media picturising islam as a religion of terrorism.
We being muslims, need to adopt the character of The Holy prophet SAWS for it is the only way we can be forgiven. The Holy Prophet SAWS never called a muslim as a mushrik. Instead of that he disliked a community which used to attribute shirk to the Ummah. The HOly Prophet SAWS said, "I do not fear that after me, You will commit Shirk. But I fear that you will become worldly poeople".
Therefore, have full trust in the statements of The Holy prophet saws. Why do you have an outlook towards the Ummah, which the Holy Prophet SAWS never has.
Huzaifa R.A narrates that the holy prophet SAWS said, " I fear to a person who has read the Quran so much that it's reflections appeared on his face. But one day, he threw The quran behind his back, went onto his neighbour with a sword and started uttering 'you committed shirk'. " Huzaifa RA asked the Holy Prophet SAWS, 'who among them was more near to Shirk' the one who are accusing or the one who was accused. The holy Prophet SAWS said " The one who was accusing".
Therefore dear friend, never accuse a muslim as a mushrik, if you do so, you are violating the code of conduct of Islam.
Now, think with cool mind. Is Zakir naik, not like the same person whom the HOly Prophet SAWs feared of in the light of the above Hadith.
Zakir Naik is meant to divide the society by making controversial statements. He is encashing the knowledgelessness of the Muslim Society. I strongly criticise the way he uttered the words against the Holy prophet SAWS and Imaam Hussain R.A. The apology, by Zakir Naik was only to escape the outburst anger of the Ummah. He will comeback with controversial statements in a different way. Therefore, never trust that guy. He surely has no knowledge of Quran and Hadith, except that he has bye heart certain relevent verses from the holy Quran for the purpose of using in his interfaith Dialogue. he should limit himself to that aspect only, and he should never open his mouth in the matters of Ahkam a Sharia (Rulings of Shariah), since he has no knowledge at all of Qur'an interpreatation and Usool ul Hadith.
I have a confussion about YAZEED topic.
I have confussion about two hadith that dr. Zakir Naik had coaeted.
If you read sahi hadith what Hussain(RA) wanted was three things:
1). I will make allegiance with Yazeed.
2). Or let me go to makkah.
3). Or let me go to such a country where i can have war.
and another hadith say
According to sahi hadith when Yazeed heared the news that Hussain(RA) has been killed he cried!.
if these hadith are right than how we can say that yazeed is involve in the matter of karbala.
please reply me on my ID
zee_me143@yahoo.com
ZEESHAN- YAZEED falsified HADITHS too.
YAZEED was a cunning man- he got his army to exterminate the AHL-AL-BYAT at Karbala so that the challenge to his authority would be extinguished permanently. After having achieved his aim he would have "shed crocodile tears" to absolve himself of the responsibility. There have been instances where RULERS have done this before and on some occasions even killed the soldiers who carried out the kings direction to finish off his opponents so that king is absolved of the responsibility. "the people of Yazeed had stopped water since the 7th of Muharram" and kept IMAM HUSSAIN (RA) surrounded for so many days that YAZEED had adequate time to withdraw the ARMY if he so wanted.
The HADITHs you mention could have been written by the followers of YAZEED to show YAZEED in "good light" and absolve him of the responsibility of the massacre at KARBALA. IMAM HUSSAIN (RA)who was a peace loving man would never ever have wanted the THIRD option- "Or let me go to such a country where i can have war". He would have only sought to go to a "country where he can have PEACE. YAZEED and his followers will burn in HELL FIRE perpetually for the crime they committed against the AHL-AL-BYAT and for falsifying HADITH too.
Dr.Zakir Naik
Dear Mushafiq,
I agree with u.U are absolutely right.
One thing I would like to tell u is
that to be polite is the best way of
communication.
You are right only Allah
You are right only Allah Subhanataala is the final authority for acceptance of Tawba.But Mr Ahmed you are comparing Hazrath Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti to Dr Zakir Naik and by this comparision which you have made shows how narrow minded are your thoughts. Its people like you who are glorifying Awlia's and seeking all the wordly favours by visiting their Dargah's time and again forgetting that it is Allah subhanataala to Whom we have been commanded to seek any kind of help .In these modern days what Dr Naik is doing to Propogate Islam to the masses is Highly commendable.It was his good wisdom that he has repented and given a written apology in order to avoid a Major Controversy among the same community, after all he is a Human being who is bound to commit mistakes. These Awlials are not remembered for their achievements by people like you but you have a wrong notion that by glorifying and visiting them frequently you believe your wishes will be fulfilled which is totally Shirk and Bidaath for which there is no forgiveness from Allah Subhaataala.
Dear Hassan brother, what u
Dear Hassan brother,
what u think about our muslims how can u say that (you believe your wishes will be fulfilled which is totally Shirk and Bidaath for which there is no forgiveness from Allah Subhaataala.)
first off all u have to understand the meaning of shirk. shirk means sharik (to bear witness that there is deity except God) if any muslim is going to dargah its does not mean he is doing shirk. visiting daragh,kabarastan is the sunnat of profet Sallallahu alahi v sallam. any muslim can visit kabarastan or daragah but he cant wish to sahibe kabar he should PRAY dua for him we are not worship of daragah we belive Allah is only one & bear witness that there is NO deity except Allah.......
Abdul Qadir
qabrastan is right and not kabrastan. instead of insisting only on sunnat we are here, not able to pronounce words. Even your reverred dargah is not clear from your side.
Additionally your literal English too is very bad. you might claim you know Urdu and English as well but my dear brother, you need to work on it instead of aligning with the so called 'sunnis' or the alleged 'wahhabis'.
We all should seek the forgivenness of Allah. If we get His raHmat, sattari, we need nothing.
the most impotant thing is
the most impotant thing is aqeeda so first let the aqeeda be correct than we should talk on makhaarij, good or bad english is not important.
ALLAH please show all of us the right path.
aamin.
