For those of you who do not know who Dr. Zakir Abdul Karim Naik is by now he is a public speaker on the subject of Islam and comparative religion. He is the founder and president of the islamic Research Foundation. Before becoming a public speaker, he trained as a doctor. Naik says that his goal is to "concentrate on the educated Muslim youth who have become apologetic about their own religion and have started to feel the religion is outdated."He considers it a duty of every Muslim to remove perceived misconceptions about Islam.
How i wish one of my family members were like Zakir Naik or wish they would try to follow his pathways. If there was someone like him in my family, i would learn so much and would be motivated everday. InshAllah everyone sees the real light in the tunnel i.e ISLAM. I admire Dr. Zakir Naik the most in this world. I appreciate his messages and greatful that there are still people like that who not only teach others about the righteous ways but follows it himself. Surely, you cant be a true believer unless you follow it yourself first.
Naik is my motivation to be a better Muslim and I realized how important education is all due to him. Without education (in any field) we would remain ignorant and not understand Islam properly. We would focus on what we hear from others. We wouldnt try to use our own logic or knowledge and that would only lead to hypocrisy and ignorance. If you noticed, how some bengali parents\elders\youngsters are very hypocrite. For example, they would pray five times a day and would back bite others and think it is okay to treat people differently. They are unware of the fact that 'backbiting" is a sin as well. It is all because they do not try to get Islam , they only know what they were taught and would not try to find out or learn more. It is important to learn about Islam while you are alive in this duniyaa. We wont have a second chance after death. You can never learn enough , if we really try to get the Quran, life would be different and we would be a changed person from what we were before.
Dr. Zakir Naik not only tries to be a better Muslim everyday but he proves it through his actions. He tries to follow the true Islamic ways, he learns about it and speaks with the right sources. He even shows the right path to his children and as a Muslim this is the right way life should be led. Sometimes i wished i did major in Islam and was admitted in Islamic school. InshAllah, when i have kids , it is my wish to send them to Islamic school of teachings. hehe..ps: gotta get married first.
So, i hope you all listen to his lectures because they are real enjoyable. I actually get excited to listen to his lectures on Peacetv or youtube. He is a great man and a true inspiration for Muslims. I admire him like no other. May Allah bless him and his family. So, heres the end of this blog with the thoughts of today.
I from the bottom of my heart truly hope people who are ignorant and hypocrites try to learn more about Islam including me. I hope we treat people as we want to be treated. We remove jealousy and hatred cause those things lead to back biting. I hope we fight the shaitaan within ourselves first before judging others. May Allah keep us aloof from temptations, lies and decieving. Ameen!
