Ahlus sunnah wal Jamaah respects the family of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi
wasallam) and also the companions of the Prophet.Unfortunately, shia have gone
extreme in the religion by taking the family of Prophet as intermediaries, and
by abusing the companions of the Prophet such as Umar and Abu Bakr(may Peace be
upon them). Dr. Zakir Naik says what the scholars of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal
Jamaah say. If you are criticizing Dr. Zakir Naik, then you are also
criticizing the stand of the Ahlus sunnsh wal Jamaah.visit www.islam-qa.com on

thought he knew better than Allah how to worship Him.Worship means nothing but
obedience--disregarding ahlul baith is as bad deviation as that of Shaitan.---

concerned. There is no Wahabism Islam in the World. A man with the
name of Muhammad Bib Abdul Wahab who is follower of Mazhab of Imam Ahmed
Bin Hamble (RA). Imam AhmedBib Hamble (Hambly Mazhab) is one out of
four Mazhabs. It is said that these fourMazhabs are on Haq.
Even then some persons having no knowledge of Islam do not hesitate to
blame the Mazhab of Imam Ahmed Bin Hamble (RA). When we say that these
four Mazhabs came into existance more than 100 years after the
completion of Islam, and are not on the right path, even then some says
that these four Mazhabs are on the right path. This is the admission of
those people who blame Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab (Hambly Mazhab) as on
right path and on the other handthese people blame Hambly Mazhab as on the
wrong path. However, Islam is a name of Quran o Hadith, the
follower of these two books are also consideredWahabi by Qabar Parast
group. Even I have seen some non-sense people who are
basically from Mazhab Hanfi declare to the follower of Hanfi Mazhab as
Wahabi. They have no sense of Islam. Mr. Zakir Naik from India is a
great schollar of Islam. He has won so many Munazras withghair
Muslims. He is true follower of Islam. I have seen on
Internet that so many Hindus and other people have converted / accepted Islam
with his struggle and knowledge. May Allah give him more courage to spread
true Islam in the continent. Please do not hear / take care of such mails
which are spread to defame schollare of Islam. Thanks. Shafi ---

Bismillah [IslamCity] Dr. Zakir Naik - Defame And Destroy.To: "eGroup For
Muslims Around The World" Date: Tuesday, 10 February, 2009, 4:33 AMDr. Zakir
Naik - Defame And Destroy.Jamshed IqbalOne comes across several interesting
comments from the people who have been defending Mr. Zakir Naik on Indian
Muslims Blog. Most of my brothers and sisters are impressed by his immense
knowledge without knowing that his kind of knowledge (database or retention)
has nothing to do with religion at all. In other words the knowledge he and his
fans boast of is irreligious in its very essence, for any true religion is an
ever-flowing fountain of wisdom not knowledge.However, Mr. Naik is not an
only man basking under this false impression but, it is pity that most of our
so-called Muslim scholars are making the profits of same deceptive notion. And
it is about this subtle subversion that Muslim world or Muslim identity has
suffered a great deal. Therefore in this article, I would talk about a whole
range of scholars of this nature and use the name of Mr. Naik as an
all-purpose unit to bring my point home.A wise man may have some knowledge
but it does not necessitate that every knowledgeable man is wise. For
knowledge comes with analysis but wisdom with synthesis. Analysis demands
scattering the whole into parts and pieces, on the contrary, synthesis demands
uniting and reassembling the parts, once again, into a whole.Men of knowledge
without wisdom are far more harmful for human family than mad men. For
knowledge without wisdom lacks comprehensiveness of vision, feelings, beauty
and empathy. Therefore it is not beneficial at all, and in religious terms, it
is irreligious! How?A man of knowledge studies the composition of the atom from
a disinterested desire for knowledge, and incidentally places it in the hands
of powerful lunatics as the means of destroying the human race.In such ways the
pursuit of knowledge may become harmful unless it is combined with wisdom; and
wisdom in the sense of comprehensive vision is not necessarily present in
specialists in the pursuit of any kind of knowledge.The point is so-called men
of knowledge lack comprehensive vision that is necessary to make them wise.
Ask, for example, a man of science to define human being! If he is sociologist
he will tell you that, man is a social animal for he cannot live without
society. Ask the same question to a physicist and he would brief you about
material composition of a human being and reduce it to material hump. Raise
this question before a chemist and get ready to listen that man is nothing but
product or composition of different chemicals. A chemist would also open your
eyes by telling that man is a chemical animal and his emotions and character
is mainly controlled by chemical balance or imbalance. Go to a biologist to
listen, human being is an organism composed of different organs. See a human
being have been dissected into piece and lost! Even if all of these definitions
cannot include what makes a human being a humanbeing!Definitions, I mean to
say, are the foundations of analytical thinking and they always fail to spot
the corethe essence. For example, in above definition of human person, what
makes human person a human person is nowhere, as no definition could be
holistic! Moreover, in definition, metaphor or simile, as logic demands, is not
allowed to make analytical thinking free from feelings but religious wisdom or
morality is absurd or impossible without feelings! There is no room for
aesthetics (beauty) in analysis and morality or wisdom gushes from these two
springs as well!I think Islam is very clear about this point as:Allah is
beautiful and loves beauty. Allah (The Supreme Reality) is truth and truth
cannot be revealed unto those whose whole effort is demystification and
dissection!Has analysis anything to do with love? Isnt beauty a mystery so
beyond the logic (Allah Him/Herself) ? Have analytical sciences, from so-called
Enlightenment Age onwards, not been trying to demystify the mysterious
phenomenon of existence or being? Was it not an organized effort to obliterate
God from human consciousness? Has sciences (knowledge not wisdom) not been
consciously trying to omit suggestiveness from natural phenomena to make it
dull and ugly!There have a tendency among Quranic scholarsthe tendency to
count! For example word (or Ism-e-Zat) Allah has been used so many times in
Quran. Mr. Zakir Naik, and others of course, can safely claim 10 GB memory
containing these types of calculations. But, so far as I know, no one has told
that how many similes and metaphors are used in Quran. How many attributes of
Allah (the beneficent the merciful) reflect rationality and others feelings or
emotions?Mr. Zakir Naik could not deny that Prophet Mohammads (May peace by
upon him) holy life is an evergreen epic of compassion and empathythe gift to
feel with others! Remember once my Lord was running for milking the sheep to
feed a crying cat when West was not familiar with animal rights! Was it
analysis or feelingfeeling with and for the whole creation?Islam is known to
be the highest point of Abrahamic tradition and Prophet Abraham dived into the
fire! A rationalist or an analyst (or a man of knowledge) would never think
that fire could behave otherwise!In short the whole range of knowledge mounted
up by sciences is of analytical nature, and therefore today, world is rich with
knowledge but poor in wisdom. For if it were rich in wisdom we would have been
living in paradise! The main problem with our age is that our age far surpasses
all previous ages in knowledge (rotted data) but there is a correlative
famine of wisdom. Since wisdom includes not only intellect but also feelings,
and this world is mostly steered by those whose knowledge is wide but feelings
are too narrow! Therefore they have made it a hell of hatred!One of my
brothers, Mr. Wasif, wrote about Zakir Naiks comments about Sufi saints.
According to him Zakir Naik says:Sufism is an alien plant in the soil of
IslamThese are actually the words of Allama Mohammad Iqbal (1877-1938) who, no
doubt, was an extraordinarily profound and inspiring poetbut as a philosopher,
he used to wear several hats of intellect like Herbert Spencer in Western
philosophical tradition. Actually, as I think, his poetry and thought begins in
trivial metaphors, pretty metaphors, then culminates into grace metaphors and
finally goes on to profoundest thinking that we have. Mr. Zakir Naik should
note that in his profundityIqbal himself is a Sufi! For example:Ik
Danish-e-burhani, ik Danish-e-ruhaniHai Danish-e-burhani hairat ki frawani(One
the one hand there is an argumentative/ logical wisdom, and, on the other hand
spiritual wisdom! But argumentative/ logical wisdom is nothing but surplus of
wonder
.)Qadhe khirad froze keh Frang dad maraHama aftab lekin asar-e-sahar na
darid(The shining wine cup of rationality offered by the West is the full Sun
but powerless/impotent to bring into being lime light of the morning)Iqbal used
to call himself a disciple (mureed hindi) of Jalal-ud-Din Rumithe great
Persian Sufi poet! Therefore, he was highly impressed by Persian influence on
Islamic culture, community and thought. For example, in his famous chapter, The
Muslim Community, in The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam, Iqbal
writes:The conquest of Persia gave to the Musalmans what the conquest of
Greece gave to the Romans. But for Persian, our culture would have been
absolutely one sided.It is doubtless that Mr. Zakir Naik is advocating and
pushing exclusively soulless, fanatical and chauvinistic Saudi (Wahhabi)
version of Islam that has become a disgusting scar on the face of highly
inclusive Islamic teachings! It is duty of Wahabism to wage war against
teachings of great Sufi saints who kept the divinely prophet-consciousne ss
alive not by preaching the truth but living like truth! Naiks grudge towards
Hussain (may Allah be pleased with him) is a clear sign that he is an agent of
un-Islamic Saudi state employed to save her from Hussain who exposes and
challenges Yazid of every age!Wahhabism is troubled by Sufism for it is a
message of inclusiveness and tolerance! Wahhabism wages war against it for it
is a message of freedom and core of Islam that is, in its essence anti-
hierarchy and anti-establishment! Wahhabism is afraid of Sufism for it shows a
beautiful face of Islam but Saudis allies (especially United States) are
funding her to prove it ugly and dangerous for peaceful coexistence!Mr. Zakir
Naik and all his friends are stakeholders in the highly lucrative and hideous
business of a great conspiracy Defame & Destroy. For it is duty of
Wahhabism to promote blameful and reproachably bigoted religiosity for
facilitating its funders to wipe Muslims from the face of the earth by
declaring them potentially dangerous creatures!May Allah save my innocent
brothers and sisters in Islam from felling a prey to a vicious alliance! May
Allah help us to show our non-Muslim brothers and sisters that Wahhabism is not
the real face of Islam! Islam is one of the most inclusive religions wherein
ink of a scholar is holier than blood of a martyr and killing one human
person is killing humanity! Islamthat is a religion of heart, love, empathy
and compassion!Amen!Jamshed Iqbal is a student and teacher of English
