friends , dato and tansri,
for decades we have been losing the 'intellectual arguments' with the lost sheep of the world.
we were clobbered left, right centre.
muhammad was a paedophile, islam is rubbish religion etc etc ....
we have no answers.
even if we have answers, the media were dead silenced.
it is a science known as the 'science of apologetics'.
firstly developed by evangelical christiansin defence of the indefencibles, trinity, initially within the failing faith itself but later as debates against other monotheistic faith vis a vis islam.

inundated by christian evangelicals, protestant and catholic.
for decades the muslims had no answers...nor was there willing medias to counter their persuasions and inuendoes.
then come along a phenomenon in the form of the late ahmad deedat. deedat attacked faith with faith, quoting biblical facts from barnabas to king james version of the bible; from the torah to the injeel. his memories were phenomenal.
it was like him telling them, "if you guys want to play ball your way and your rules, i am ok. i will play ball you way and your rules!'', and trouncing them at it.

he clobbered all and sundry.......ministers, bishops, evangelists at the international level in well publicized debates etc etc.
he died 10 years ago, there was a void until dr zakir naik came along.
much better than the self educated ahmad deedat.
a doctor by profession ; fantastic photographic memory; master of all known major scriptures, etc etc. additionally he commit to memories hindu ancient texts such as bhagavid vita, puranas and the vidas.
along with his virtuosity, came a new media ......the internet.
it is human to plan , allah directs.
it is human to plan , allah directs.
all is fair and square in any debate.
both sides put up their facts and compare.
but when we have someone loaded with the exceptional intellectual ammunition, calibre and gifted with vast wisdom in comparative religion with respect to different scriptures all over the world, to win debates......... we , socalled muslim malays here want to ban him from our shore.
at least a group of clowns calling themselves g25 was rooting for that.
to my mind, zakir naik is a supreme gift to islam from allah
people like him or his mentor the late ahmad deedat cannot be produced in universities or pondok over decades.
not even in a hundred years!
of course debate is not the best way to daawah but if there is such thing as 'science of apologetics' and not even one muslim is good at it...
we are collectively responsible
this a fardu kifayah.
in 2017, along with other things, dr zakir naik , in my opinion, is a gift from allah to the present ummah who are so low now in their esteem that the world does not need or feel they do need to apologise if muslims get evicted from planes ; wrongfully labelled and 'talibanized'; or droned or killed like mad dogs elsewhere even in their homelands!
baik, bodoh dan kecil sangat hati melayu ni.
ni yang sampai negara sendiri tergadai kat orang!
pengemis di negara sendiri!
pengemis di negara sendiri!
we move on to ayat 34 to ayat 37 of surah fatir, gentlemen!
And they say: Praise be to Allah Who hath put grief away from us. Lo! Our Lord is Forgiving, Bountiful, (34) Who, of His grace, hath installed us in the mansion of eternity, where toil toucheth us not nor can weariness affect us. (35) But as for those who disbelieve, for them is fire of hell; it taketh not complete effect upon them so that they can die, nor is its torment lightened for them. Thus We punish every ingrate. (36) And they cry for help there, (saying): Our Lord! Release us; we will do right, not (the wrong) that we used to do. Did not We grant you a life long enough for him who reflected to reflect therein? And the warner came unto you. Now taste (the flavour of your deeds), for evil-doers have no helper. (37) Lo! Allah is the Knower of the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. Lo! He is Aware of the secret of (men's) breasts. (38) [ translated by pickthal ]
