assalam 'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh my beloved brothers and sisters
Did we ever thought who our real enemy is? Who we should hate and love? Who we must take arm against and whom not?
My dears! Love and Hatred is not something just as simple as we think it is. It is a matter directly Related to the Testimony of faith, and the Tawheed.
In regard to the Muslims either a Scholar, Da'ee, Rular, Professor, Normal citizens etc etc, they all will have mistakes and cannot be 100% perfect. The hatred we are allowed to make against our fellow Muslim brother who does Zina, drink alcohol, theft etc is only to that particular level their wrong deeds are. NOT to the level of hatred we have against the Harbi Kuffar who bombards the homes of our brothers and sisters daily. It is really dangerous that some of us take the level of our Muslim brothers even far away to the level of Kuffar, asking others "not to listen or help them".
As per Dr.Zakir Naik, I am aware that there are some people in this Ummah who calls people not to listen him and to hate him. To which level? Even a person who claims to have knowledge of Islam said from his mouth, "It is better to attend the musical show of Shahruk Khan, than attending the lecture of Dr,Zakir Naik." La Hawlawala Quwwata Illa Billah! Is this what they learnt from Islam? Where are our minds which Allah has given us brothers and sisters? He even did not make Shahruk Khan's show equal to Dr.Naik's lecture, but he said "it is better" then that. A'oodhubillah min Dhaalik!
IF Dr.Zakir Naik has a problem proven wrong in 'Islam' then just keep you hatred to that particular limit. Remember, it is NOT allowed for us to hate ANY Muslim to the level we hate the Harbi Kuffar. It is not a small matter, infact it is one of the MOST dangerous matters in Deen which most of us are not aware of, either by ignorance or because of the wrong information we have, regarding Deen.
We say Dr.Zakir Naik makes Ummah split, but we could not give a reason or proof to back our claim. Rather, what we see is that with his hard work by the Will of Almighty Allah, thousands convert to Islam directly or indirectly each year. If we have watched PeaceTV, we will be sure of it.
Just remember one thing. The methods and Hikmah (wisdom) to be used differs with time and situation always, and Da'wah is not such a narrow thing that we think. Its one of the most wonderful thing in Islam.
Allahumma Arinal 'Haqqa 'Haqqan Warzuqunat-Tibaa'ah! Wa Arinal Baatila Baatilan, Warzuqunajtinaabah! Ameen!
