That statue was historically cherished around the world and the destruction caused grief not just for Buddhists but for people around the world and especially Afghans. By Zakir's logic, if the Egyptian government wanted to destroy the Pyramids then its their right to and we shouldn't object to it. Nothing historically significant should be destroyed period, idc about which religion or country.
I am Egyptian, the pyramids are a 3D triangle which is actual just a huge grave under it, and no status in Egypt is worshipped but you know what is worshipped buddha, so yeah like all the prophets did you gotta destroy false idols.

This guy is juvenile middle school debator. What's scary is adults in hundreds of thousands are listening to him with such attention. 1. Taliban has no business educating Buddhists. 2. Bamyan Buddha may have had religious significance back in the day. Today it has historic significance. By same logic, if an Islamic government were to come to power in Egypt they should demonish the sphinx and the pyramids? 3. Sometimes a historic article takes significance beyond a geographic boundary. If tomorrow the BJP government decides to demolish the taj mahal there should be global outrage.
Classic Naik. Answering the questions with conjectures, quoting other scriptures, comparing other incidents. But never actually condemning anything. He only condemns when gets pressed by the people and media, and claims 'misquote'.
by destroying the statue in one country, they made the lives of so many Muslims across the world so much more harder since 2001. That is the law of cause and effect. And as Buddhist, I'm not mad that its destroyed. Nothing is permanent.

But the Bamyan buddhas were not a temple nor a book, nor did it have any active worshippers. So it cannot be compared to a mosque or a Quran or a temple or Geeta. By Dr. Zakir's policy, if the Indian govt. wants to destroy the Taj Mahal, Muslims can't do any objection because it's the property of the Indian govt. But mosques and Qurans aren't govt. property so they have no right to destroy them.

Very illogical answer! I am from Afghanistan and alhamdulillah I am a Muslim, surely I can say that majority of Afghan nation doesn't support Taliban destroying Budha as we Afghans don't worship Budha but we just use the statues as historical sites.
What I have to say about this: 1. The destruction of Buddha statues was vandalism and offensive to Buddhists. 2. Outside the abrahamic religions the word "idolatry" does not exist. Therefore Buddha and Hindu statues are not idolatry. 3. Who are the Taliban to "educate Buddhists" if they don't even understand Buddhism? 4. It doesn't matter if Siddhartha Gautama Buddha never asked for statues as it is not forbidden in Buddhist scriptures either. Prohibition of statues solely belongs to the monotheistic abrahamic religions anyway. 5. If Muslims oppose idolatry, why do they pray in the direction of Mecca and once if a life time walk around the Kaaba?
1. It’s really none of Muslims problems as long as it isn’t hurting people of the book. 2. This is just false lol and pure misinformed arrogance. 3. It’s their land And most importantly the fifth question can be answered with a quick google search 😊
I took a pic of my grandma before she pass away. If i miss her, i can see this photo. My grandma never told me to take her photo. I know photo is just a piece of paper.

You want the truth? I am a Muslim, and many Muslims believe that it is our obligation to destroy idols. Yes, this is classified as vandalism. No, the majority of Muslims do not destroy idols unless they are present in predominantly Muslim countries governed by Sharia. There is also some disagreement among Muslims as to whether we have the right legally to destroy people’s idols as they are not our property, so the majority of Muslims do not act on this without Islamic majority rule because we did not purchase or construct the idols and therefore cannot destroy them legally.

I believe that what the Taliban did was a grave mistake. This action did not help the Buddhists to learn any lesson nor did it spread any great lesson about Islam. On the contrary, it contributed well to harm the Muslim community and Islam in many ways. The Taliban is not representing the Muslim community nor are they the saviours of Islam. So when they do such a barbaric act the world won't accept it. As long as the non-Islamic world does not consider Islam to be superior, how can we teach them good lessons of such a global scale? We need to gain acceptance first. Else don't complain when others do untold cruelty to us. e.g. Chinese claiming that they are teaching Uigur Muslims to be civilised. Please understand the world we are living in. It is highly connected and misinformation can spread all around the world in seconds. Your intentions are nothing...and Islam and Muslims are not frozen in time. We need to learn to adapt to the changing world within the limits of Islam. Or lose it.

According to this explanation the destruction of the Bhamian statue was the correct thing for 2 reasons the first being that the Buddha never condoned idolatry so to make Buddhists aware of that fact , the destruction was fair. The second is that, as it was the Taliban that governed Afghanistan it was their prerogative to destroy it if they wished so. If you use the same argument (the second one) is it fair to destroy all mosques in non majority islamic countries? because it is within the right of that government to do so if they wish to and no one in that country or any islamic majority country has no right to protest against that. Do you agree with that argument which is fair as an argument while i never would subscribe to it. Because i believe in religious tolerance and anyone is free to believe in any religion of their choice. What type of tolerance is this. While i do not agree with the second imaginary event of destroying mosques in non majority islamic countries, at the same time i can't condemn it, if i agree with his second reason given for the destruction of the Bhamian statues because it is within the right of the government of that country if it wishes to do so. Most people of the world considered the Bhamian statues as marvels and a world heritage of the creative skills of a people who lived in the past and not as an icon of a religion. So where is the so called tolerance which Islam espouses so much about to the rest of the world even if the statues were considered as idols of the Buddha . Please also be aware that prophet Mohammed in his wisdom prohibited Allah, or Almighty god being depicted in a caricature or made in to a statue because the entire world is Allah, Almighty god or nature and is present everywhere and so cannot be made into one small caricature, statue, icon or idol. On the other hand most Buddhists consider that by creating an icon of thier messiah (as the prophet Mohammed and Jesus were messiahs ) the people will have some allegiance to the message conveyed by him although i agree that the Buddha never condoned idolatry and Just like the Muslms are asked to pray five times a day which is to make people aware about islam so that more people will be naturally inclined towards following the religion and making this world a better place to live for the people. Allah in Islam or Almighty god in Christianity which is none other than nature(if you want to call it Allah by all means do so) to which all of us have to subjugate ourselves willingly or unwillingly. (Insha Allah), The Buddha never dictated a set of precepts to follow blindly but to use your own wisdom to realise that there is a set of rules in nature(call it Allah if you wish so) that cannot be avoided by praying, worshipping or by way of offerings (pleading, submitting or offering bribes to nature or Allah or Almighty god) but to realise that, that is the way it is and if you have wisdom you can escape the suffering that is only a mind made illusion. May Allah help you realise that the whole world is an illusion of the mind and that is why when you are fast asleep there is neither the world nor you. That is equal to death in which neither you nor the world exist. You are not aware of your heart beat etc when you are aseelp but become aware of them only when you are awake and think that you were alive during your sleep only after you wake up from your sleep. May Allah help you realise this! and let there be peace in this illusory material world which in truth is an illusion of the mind.
Destroying a statue in the middle of nowhere that serves no religious purpose (not even allowed in Buddhism) is not the same as destroying mosques that serve an active religious purpose and are places of worship for Muslims every day. To put this in another way, it is not okay for a state to destroy a place of worship like a Church or Synagogue that is actively used, but there is no problem with destroying a giant statue of Jesus or Moses which has no place in Christianity and Judaism and also makes the majority of the people uncomfortable.
@@arshmash5340 There are plenty of Buddhist in Malaysia and many Buddhist temples as well. There were offers to move the statues abroad but they were rejected

According to this guy's same logic its okay to destroy mosques in a christian country because its their countries property like taliban did with bhamian😂
Muhammad commanded his followers NOT to build a tomb for him after his death. They built it anyway and it remains one the most holy sites in Islam. By Naik's logic if another country, say the U.S., were to destroy Muhammad's tomb that would not be wrong because they are merely "educating" Muslims on what Muhammad commanded....
So when muslims are in power, they have the right to destroy religious icons of other faiths but when muslims are a helpless minority, other faiths have to respect and let the muslims flourish.

I didn't see a single comment on this video from a muslim challenging/questioning zakir's point of view.

I strongly disagree with Dr Zakir Naik on this issue. These statues of Buddha in Bamiyan were being worshipped by Buddhists and not Muslims. No Muslim must have worshipped them. Islam does not allow destroying the religious places and scriptures of other religions
Oddly enough, these statues were actually built during the 6th-7th centuries, when a Turkic empire called Hephtalites aka White Huns ruled this area. There was a turkic tribe called Kalaj amongst them. This empire practised buddhism before they were conquered by Muslims. After a long period of time these Kalajis intermixed with the local population and become pashtunisized. Today their heirs are called Ghilzai or Ghilji, from Kalaj-zai = sons of the Kalaj. The Taliban leader who gave the order to destroy this statues was from the Ghilzai tribe himself (of the Hotaki subgroup). Mullah Omar Muhammed.... history is mindblowing...
Maybe you should think about what he said real hard. After all, you're the guys (assuming you and others here are Muslim) who place great reverence on some meteor in the center of Meccah.

Dr. Zakir Salaam, Just because you are on a stage it does not mean you should talk about any topic. Sir, to anyone who knows Taliban you just embarrassed yourself. You tried to justify their terroristic actions by giving it a Islamic cover. You should be ashamed of yourself by calling the Taliban the Afghan government. Taliban has and are still killing more Muslims than any non muslim forces in Afghanistan. You praised a terrorist group and justified their actions as the government of Afghanistan. It is true that Taliban took control of most of Afghanistan via war and force not election but they were only recognized as Afghan government by three terroirst sponsor countries such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. Remember sir, we all have to answer to Allah one day. How are you going to justify Taliban's actions to the Afghan orphans, widows, mothers, and fathers that have lost and or still loosing their innocent loved ones? How are you going to justify Taliban's actions to Allah? You spoke about the Taliban as if they were the legitimate government of Afghanistan and as if they committed an Islamic act. By doing so you legitimized all of their actions since a government is the legitimate establishment of a country. You need to apologize to the Afghan people and ask Allah for forgiveness. 99% of Afghan have been muslims for well over a 1000 years and most are practicing muslims. They did not need to wait for Taliban to destroy the buddha statues. Furthermore, when the sahaba kiram brought Islam to Afghanistan they could have destroyed the statues if the statues would have harmed the muslim faith. Therefore, there is no justification in Islam about destroying the buddha statues unless you know more the the first generation of Sahabas. Finally, sir it is these types of talks that has confused the uma because our scholars want to show off and protect their egos and most of them have turned the religion into their full time business for the wrong reasons. Sometimes in order to protect their business they have to save face. Please do not get me wrong. I respect your over all religious knowledge. I appreciate your hard work and apologize in advance if I have miss spoke but we all need to be careful and speak only on subjects that we have knowledge of. Islam is a very simple religion and the lines between right and wrong is very clear. Whoever tries to blur the lines looses face. This video is extremely offensive to Afghans. I hope it is either taken down or supported by your new video apologizing to Afghans and the muslim uma as it is a misleading video.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE EXISTENCE AND ONENESS OF GOD 1- introduction and divine uniqueness 2-existence of God 3-rules of application. 1- First of all, let us define reason and see its reliability: reason consists in understanding, ordering, prohibiting or administering through its distinction between good and evil to reach the reasonable one who serves and does not serve. Let's see if reason is reliable:everyone of good reason confirms that reason is educated by its environment from a young age in order to distinguish good from evil,true from false,it starts with: fire or needle hurts, milk makes good, then truth and lie, with internal and external verification by experience, then we generalize to the extension of reason (like happiness and unhappiness) and to the abstract by returning from time to time to the experience of reason by recognized examples, so we can say that reason is reliable. As for the ego, the self, it has its importance in my subject, because it compares and seeks (in cooperation with the reason) the ideal, the most powerful because the top is the most reasonable for him otherwise if a strong thing is not enough for him,he will get tired of it and look for something stronger than it, he'll be unhappy, in relative insecurity, because he's looking for the solid pillar, hence the expression "in myself something" to say that it's not satisfactory. Definition of worship in religion: to submit oneself to a being or a thing by love and veneration, to believe that it is useful and harmful (we see the link with the definition of reason and its combination with the ego and that then we live to worship anything and in a correct and reasonable way we seek "summit" happiness (for the ego, the summit is the most satisfying for the heart-ego) through that being or that thing since we take the reasonable). Definition of a god:a god is a being or a thing that we worship or is worshipful (worshipful=which deserves to be worshipped),we will be satisfied (this is the goal) to take the definition of a god as a being or a thing that is worshipful Equivalence "a god" and "he is a creator (from nothing)": A creator (from nothing) is a god: everything around us is made up of already existing elements, so creation from nothing is superior and it is the most impressive form of creation so it is summit (the heart and the ego confirm), so any creator from nothing is a god. Every god is a creator: if a god was not a creator then he would not deserve to be a god because God the Necessary Being (see part 2) is a creator (the creator see 2), therefore superior to that god, therefore that god does not deserve (for reason and ego) to be a god, he does not bring anything more, hence every god is a creator.Hence the equivalence. God the creator, the necessary being is the summit for the heart-ego: if he had a superior then that superior would be unknown, erased, moreover for the heart-ego it would imply that the necessary being is no longer a god (the heart-ego sees higher) therefore no longer a creator whereas it is the necessary being (contradiction) therefore that superior is not a god therefore is not a creator therefore God is uncreated and is at the summit. God is unique: if there were two different gods (at the summit), then either their will is different, then either each god applies his will (as they are gods it applies to the whole universe (not erased god)) then it is impossible (if their will is different at the same point),seeing the universe as it is without defect, and it is harmonious( else:if the different will of each god at a same point applies we then have a form of contradiction, from which we have the same will (contraposition)) and If one of the two gods imposes his will on the other, then the other is weak and therefore is no longer a god (contradiction), so their will coincides on everything, so it means that one flatters (strokes) the other, so it makes the ego-heart feel a weakness of this god in its power, so is no longer a god, so there is only one god, or again: if the two gods have their will which coincides in every point ,then they constitute a god of their union but God being at the top (the ideal), an indivisible god who creates, possesses and administers everything by himself is more impressive than several gods together, hence God is unique in every case. This reasoning applies even if there is a universe we do not know, because God (worshipful) must act everywhere otherwise he is no longer a god. 2-existence of God: There is an administrator for the universe:any example:a palace hyper organized in decorations,arrangements,household,if you are told:this palace does not have a butler(administrator),you will answer:it is not possible that it happens by itself without anybody,your distinctive healthy reason rejects it (you are not crazy),therefore all the more so (a fortiori): (organization much, much better than the palace) all the organization and harmony of nature and the universe make you reject that there is no administrator for the whole universe (we can already say that it is unique, the cycles and others are the mark of the same author, for example nike is the mark of a single manufacturer, example of all the atoms of the universe same process therefore same mark therefore same author), so there is an administrator for the whole universe, and even it is obliged to think that otherwise it is chaos,. ..and many many other examples like the ship without a captain,... there is a creator of the universe: You see a humanoid walking around and you're told no one created him. You're not crazy. Your reason will reject that.So a fortiori,all the more so Your good reason will reject that man has no creator.So There is a creator of the universe, and so on throughout creation, but again the whole universe has the same mark (like nike), so the same author, so the creator is unique and the administration of his creation is the same (layout, arrangement of the way of creating) so the creator is the administrator. As He is unique, He is the great owner of the universe, and He is the one who makes the rules of the universe (such as the instructions of the electrical appliances (operation, maintenance), so it has been proved that the universe has one Lord (the Creator, the owner and the administrator) and He is the only one who deserves to be worshipped, so He is the only God. Otherwise, as God the Creator is at the top, He is also the owner and the administrator. All this is the domain of the reasonable and if you come out of it you are no longer in the reasonable (chaos). Conclusion: Divine existence and oneness are then demonstrated by reason, but reason does not say everything that God wants from us, hence the prophets and messengers. 3- Application: The verse of the Qur'an that says that there is no god except Allah means that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah, so it means that there is no imperfection on any face, so the Qur'an, its word, has no imperfection since it is one of its characteristics and therefore one face of its perfection, Therefore, by the perfection of the Qur'an (read it in Arabic to see this reality and its explanation) and the uniqueness of the true (you must respect the rules of this book if you are honest) you must take the best interpretation of the verses and the Sunnah (path) of the Prophet (the Qur'an calls to follow the Prophet therefore apply his hadiths (hadiths=words in Arabic) and you must reconcile between the verses (of the Qur'an) and the verses, and verses/hadiths hadiths/hadiths (authentic) because the truth is quite unique and the best sought after is perfection (so correct yours intentions), for example the thief the penalty starts at 1/4 gold dinar, it costs (recently) 39€ for its weight in gold whereas a meal costs 5€, source: the pious predecessors (rule: the Koran says to follow the prophet and the prophet spoke of the first three generations which are the best and he said (ask your heart for clarification), and Allah calls in the Koran to the good and known between the good people (conciliation), etc,. .go on with the rest of the rules of Islam if you are honest (seek the best, perfection, truth, conciliation). There are rules in Islam and if you don't follow them you find imperfections (which reflect your bad intention), while when you correct your intention you find perfection (it exists, scholars communicate it to each other, I have been reading books about Islam in Arabic for a long time, I testify and I testify that this perfection exists. Why don't you take it if it is possible and the rules of Islam are to take it, hence your attacks are unfounded since this is not what God and his prophet mean (i.e : your words that it is imperfection). ..
People taking drugs is very different from those who build a replica of the person whom they revier. If something is wrong as per your faith does not mean it is wrong as per anothers faith. If the Buddhist scriptures does not say that they should build a statue it also does not say that they should not either. If the Buddhist scripture said that they could build a statue, would you still destroy it then since you scripture says you should not build any statues? Why are you, and who are you to correct someone else about their faith. According to them they think they are right just as much as you think you are right. If according to some other religion, building a place of worship is wrong as per their scripture and the land becomes theirs. Would you be okay if they started demolishing all the mosques in the land? This man is just twisting wrong deeds to make them look right.
That excuse is very gratuitous. Yes, buddha wanted no statues but historically the cultures of that time and to to this day feel the need of imagery. Buddhists religiously would shrug their shoulders and point to the fact all is change. Nothing is permanent BUT the statues had historical and cultural significants.

Dr Zakir himself is double standard. When French newspaper made fun of prophet Muhammad . He is the one to protest. It's their property. Why are you objecting then. If west ban burkha then why do you object.
That statue was historically cherished around the world and the destruction caused grief not just for Buddhists but for people around the world and especially Afghans. By Zakir's logic, if the Egyptian government wanted to destroy the Pyramids then its their right to and we shouldn't object to it. Nothing historically significant should be destroyed period, idc about which religion or country.

But the Bamyan buddhas were not a temple nor a book, nor did it have any active worshippers. So it cannot be compared to a mosque or a Quran or a temple or Geeta.

But mosques and Qurans aren't govt. property so they have no right to destroy them.

What I have to say about this:

2. Outside the abrahamic religions the word "idolatry" does not exist. Therefore Buddha and Hindu statues are not idolatry.
3. Who are the Taliban to "educate Buddhists" if they don't even understand Buddhism?
4. It doesn't matter if Siddhartha Gautama Buddha never asked for statues as it is not forbidden in Buddhist scriptures either. Prohibition of statues solely belongs to the monotheistic abrahamic religions anyway.
5. If Muslims oppose idolatry, why do they pray in the direction of Mecca and once if a life time walk around the Kaaba?
1. It’s really none of Muslims problems as long as it isn’t hurting people of the book.
2. This is just false lol and pure misinformed arrogance.
3. It’s their land

You want the truth? I am a Muslim, and many Muslims believe that it is our obligation to destroy idols. Yes, this is classified as vandalism. No, the majority of Muslims do not destroy idols unless they are present in predominantly Muslim countries governed by Sharia. There is also some disagreement among Muslims as to whether we have the right legally to destroy people’s idols as they are not our property, so the majority of Muslims do not act on this without Islamic majority rule because we did not purchase or construct the idols and therefore cannot destroy them legally.

I believe that what the Taliban did was a grave mistake. This action did not help the Buddhists to learn any lesson nor did it spread any great lesson about Islam. On the contrary, it contributed well to harm the Muslim community and Islam in many ways. The Taliban is not representing the Muslim community nor are they the saviours of Islam. So when they do such a barbaric act the world won't accept it. As long as the non-Islamic world does not consider Islam to be superior, how can we teach them good lessons of such a global scale? We need to gain acceptance first. Else don't complain when others do untold cruelty to us. e.g. Chinese claiming that they are teaching Uigur Muslims to be civilised. Please understand the world we are living in. It is highly connected and misinformation can spread all around the world in seconds.

accounting to this logic . I must started to destroy mosques and islamic things . Thanks for your explanation
Go on then. I bet u don't despite the logic. 🐔
According to this explanation the destruction of the Bhamian statue was the correct thing for 2 reasons the first being that the Buddha never condoned idolatry so to make Buddhists aware of that fact , the destruction was fair. The second is that, as it was the Taliban that governed Afghanistan it was their prerogative to destroy it if they wished so.
If you use the same argument (the second one) is it fair to destroy all mosques in non majority islamic countries? because it is within the right of that government to do so if they wish to and no one in that country or any islamic majority country has no right to protest against that. Do you agree with that argument which is fair as an argument while i never would subscribe to it. Because i believe in religious tolerance and anyone is free to believe in any religion of their choice.
What type of tolerance is this. While i do not agree with the second imaginary event of destroying mosques in non majority islamic countries, at the same time i can't condemn it, if i agree with his second reason given for the destruction of the Bhamian statues because it is within the right of the government of that country if it wishes to do so.
Most people of the world considered the
Bhamian statues as marvels and a world heritage of the creative skills of a people who lived in the past and not as an icon of a religion. So where is the so called tolerance which Islam espouses so much about to the rest of the world even if the statues were considered as idols of the Buddha .
Please also be aware that prophet Mohammed in his wisdom prohibited Allah, or Almighty god being depicted in a caricature or made in to a statue because the entire world is Allah, Almighty god or nature and is present everywhere and so cannot be made into one small caricature, statue, icon or idol.
On the other hand most Buddhists consider that by creating an icon of thier messiah (as the prophet Mohammed and Jesus were messiahs ) the people will have some allegiance to the message conveyed by him although i agree that the Buddha never condoned idolatry and Just like the Muslms are asked to pray five times a day which is to make people aware about islam so that more people will be naturally inclined towards following the
religion and making this world a better place to live for the people. Allah in Islam or Almighty god in Christianity which is none other than nature(if you want to call it Allah by all means do so) to which all of us have to subjugate ourselves willingly or unwillingly. (Insha Allah), The Buddha never dictated a set of precepts to follow blindly but to use your own wisdom to realise that there is a set of rules in nature(call it Allah if you wish so) that cannot be avoided by praying, worshipping or by way of offerings (pleading, submitting or offering bribes to nature or Allah or Almighty god) but to realise that, that is the way it is and if you have wisdom you can escape the suffering that is only a mind made illusion. May Allah help you realise that the whole world is an illusion of the mind and that is why when you are fast asleep there is neither the world nor you. That is equal to death in which neither you nor the world exist. You are not aware of your heart beat etc when you are aseelp but become aware of them only when you are awake and think that you were alive during your sleep only after you wake up from your sleep. May Allah help you realise this! and let there be peace in this illusory material world which in truth is an illusion of the mind.
Destroying a statue in the middle of nowhere that serves no religious purpose (not even allowed in Buddhism) is not the same as destroying mosques that serve an active religious purpose and are places of worship for Muslims every day.
To put this in another way, it is not okay for a state to destroy a place of worship like a Church or Synagogue that is actively used, but there is no problem with destroying a giant statue of Jesus or Moses which has no place in Christianity and Judaism and also makes the majority of the people uncomfortable.

This is no way of educating anyone as he claims. The blowing of the statues was taliban's pandering to their massive egos n bigotry. This can't not be called educating, you don't educate people by heaping humiliation on them. Dr. Naik is very much out of depth here.
According to this guy's same logic its okay to destroy mosques in a christian country because its their countries property like taliban did with bhamian😂
Go on then, do it. After all, you've got logic on ur side.
Muhammad commanded his followers NOT to build a tomb for him after his death. They built it anyway and it remains one the most holy sites in Islam. By Naik's logic if another country, say the U.S., were to destroy Muhammad's tomb that would not be wrong because they are merely "educating" Muslims on what Muhammad commanded....

If majority of Indian muslims do not see anything wrong with this lunatic's views in this video, then i really hope that India becomes a Hindu rashtra soon. Or at least a nation that outlaws islam.
It is against teaching of Buddha to build Buddha statue.
@@sabinayasmin4877 wow so are you saying that taliban (murderers of innocent men, women and children) are the reliable authorities on religions foreign to them? Whatever happened to free will? If building statues makes someone happy, who the hell gave you and your taliban the right to demolish those statues.
I didn't see a single comment on this video from a muslim challenging/questioning zakir's point of view.
I am convinced that an overwhelming majority of mainstream "moderate" muslims such as yourself are nothing but closet extremists. In other words, an extremist muslim is someone who wants to murder non muslims and a moderate muslim is someone who wants an extremist muslim to murder non muslims. If this is the state of modern islam then i am proud to call myself an islamophobe.
No offence but, Islam is a serious mental illness and should be treated as such by professional psychiatrists.
@@gaurangpatil4192 Tantrum from you was really enjoyable though. What is striking irony is that you come from a country where demolishing mosques and churches are daily occurrence. You must be knowing famous Babri mosque demolition which party is in power now. The fun part is Taliban wasn't an elected government by Afgan Muslims, it has an installed government by your country where you are so proud, USA. So your false analogy, red-herring are very clearly visible. However you are yet to prove that Buddha preached idol worship. Buddha preached against idol worship and it's a fact.
@@sabinayasmin4877 whether buddha preached idolatry or not is irrelevant. You being a muslim have no right to interfere in someone else's religion. You have no right to mess with someone's free will of practicing any religion peacefully.
As far as babri masjid is concerned, it was a symbol of tyranny as it was built by demolishing a Hindu temple. I do not support the building of a temple back at the site but I do support the destruction of all those mosques that have been built on the ruins of Hindu and Jain temples.

Oddly enough, these statues were actually built during the 6th-7th centuries, when a Turkic empire called Hephtalites aka White Huns ruled this area. There was a turkic tribe called Kalaj amongst them. This empire practised buddhism before they were conquered by Muslims. After a long period of time these Kalajis intermixed with the local population and become pashtunisized. Today their heirs are called Ghilzai or Ghilji, from Kalaj-zai = sons of the Kalaj.
The Taliban leader who gave the order to destroy this statues was from the Ghilzai tribe himself (of the Hotaki subgroup). Mullah Omar Muhammed.... history is mindblowing...

Gajab zakir Naik.......
Dr. Zakir Salaam, Just because you are on a stage it does not mean you should talk about any topic. Sir, to anyone who knows Taliban you just embarrassed yourself. You tried to justify their terroristic actions by giving it a Islamic cover.
You should be ashamed of yourself by calling the Taliban the Afghan government. Taliban has and are still killing more Muslims than any non muslim forces in Afghanistan.
You praised a terrorist group and justified their actions as the government of Afghanistan. It is true that Taliban took control of most of Afghanistan via war and force not election but they were only recognized as Afghan government by three terroirst sponsor countries such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.
Remember sir, we all have to answer to Allah one day. How are you going to justify Taliban's actions to the Afghan orphans, widows, mothers, and fathers that have lost and or still loosing their innocent loved ones? How are you going to justify Taliban's actions to Allah?
You spoke about the Taliban as if they were the legitimate government of Afghanistan and as if they committed an Islamic act. By doing so you legitimized all of their actions since a government is the legitimate establishment of a country. You need to apologize to the Afghan people and ask Allah for forgiveness.
99% of Afghan have been muslims for well over a 1000 years and most are practicing muslims. They did not need to wait for Taliban to destroy the buddha statues. Furthermore, when the sahaba kiram brought Islam to Afghanistan they could have destroyed the statues if the statues would have harmed the muslim faith.
Therefore, there is no justification in Islam about destroying the buddha statues unless you know more the the first generation of Sahabas.
Finally, sir it is these types of talks that has confused the uma because our scholars want to show off and protect their egos and most of them have turned the religion into their full time business for the wrong reasons. Sometimes in order to protect their business they have to save face.
Please do not get me wrong. I respect your over all religious knowledge. I appreciate your hard work and apologize in advance if I have miss spoke but we all need to be careful and speak only on subjects that we have knowledge of. Islam is a very simple religion and the lines between right and wrong is very clear. Whoever tries to blur the lines looses face. This video is extremely offensive to Afghans. I hope it is either taken down or supported by your new video apologizing to Afghans and the muslim uma as it is a misleading video.
Excellent answer !!
Who made u the censorship police. Stop crying about statues in comments
Let them destroy what they want. It is material, passing, and temporary. Dhamma is not of this world. It is indelible.
This is also called Al-Hikmah in Islam and it is gifted by Allah to whoever He wills to gift. Allah states in Quran:
(هُوَ ٱلَّذِی بَعَثَ فِی ٱلۡأُمِّیِّـۧنَ رَسُولࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ یَتۡلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ءَایَـٰتِهِۦ وَیُزَكِّیهِمۡ وَیُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ *وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ* وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ مُّبِینࣲ)
[Surah Al-Jumu'ah 2]
He (Allah) it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from among themselves, reciting to them His Verses, purifying them (from the filth of disbelief and polytheism), and teaching them the Book (this Quran, Islamic laws and Islamic jurisprudence) and *Al-Hikmah (The Wisdom*, the Sunnah: legal ways, orders, acts of worship, etc. of Prophet Muhammad SAW). And verily, they had been before in mainfest error.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE EXISTENCE AND ONENESS OF GOD
1- introduction and divine uniqueness
2-existence of God
3-rules of application.
1- First of all, let us define reason and see its reliability: reason consists in understanding, ordering, prohibiting or administering through its distinction between good and evil to reach the reasonable one who serves and does not serve.
Let's see if reason is reliable:everyone of good reason confirms that reason is educated by its environment from a young age in order to distinguish good from evil,true from false,it starts with: fire or needle hurts, milk makes good, then truth and lie, with internal and external verification by experience, then we generalize to the extension of reason (like happiness and unhappiness) and to the abstract by returning from time to time to the experience of reason by recognized examples, so we can say that reason is reliable.
As for the ego, the self, it has its importance in my subject, because it compares and seeks (in cooperation with the reason) the ideal, the most powerful because the top is the most reasonable for him otherwise if a strong thing is not enough for him,he will get tired of it and look for something stronger than it, he'll be unhappy, in relative insecurity, because he's looking for the solid pillar, hence the expression "in myself something" to say that it's not satisfactory.
Definition of worship in religion: to submit oneself to a being or a thing by love and veneration, to believe that it is useful and harmful (we see the link with the definition of reason and its combination with the ego and that then we live to worship anything and in a correct and reasonable way we seek "summit" happiness (for the ego, the summit is the most satisfying for the heart-ego) through that being or that thing since we take the reasonable).
Definition of a god:a god is a being or a thing that we worship or is worshipful (worshipful=which deserves to be worshipped),we will be satisfied (this is the goal) to take the definition of a god as a being or a thing that is worshipful
Equivalence "a god" and "he is a creator (from nothing)":
A creator (from nothing) is a god: everything around us is made up of already existing elements, so creation from nothing is superior and it is the most impressive form of creation so it is summit (the heart and the ego confirm), so any creator from nothing is a god.
Every god is a creator: if a god was not a creator then he would not deserve to be a god because God the Necessary Being (see part 2) is a creator (the creator see 2), therefore superior to that god, therefore that god does not deserve (for reason and ego) to be a god, he does not bring anything more, hence every god is a creator.Hence the equivalence.
God the creator, the necessary being is the summit for the heart-ego: if he had a superior then that superior would be unknown, erased, moreover for the heart-ego it would imply that the necessary being is no longer a god (the heart-ego sees higher) therefore no longer a creator whereas it is the necessary being (contradiction) therefore that superior is not a god therefore is not a creator therefore God is uncreated and is at the summit.
God is unique: if there were two different gods (at the summit), then either their will is different, then either each god applies his will (as they are gods it applies to the whole universe (not erased god)) then it is impossible (if their will is different at the same point),seeing the universe as it is without defect, and it is harmonious( else:if the different will of each god at a same point applies we then have a form of contradiction, from which we have the same will (contraposition)) and If one of the two gods imposes his will on the other, then the other is weak and therefore is no longer a god (contradiction), so their will coincides on everything, so it means that one flatters (strokes) the other, so it makes the ego-heart feel a weakness of this god in its power, so is no longer a god, so there is only one god, or again: if the two gods have their will which coincides in every point ,then they constitute a god of their union but God being at the top (the ideal), an indivisible god who creates, possesses and administers everything by himself is more impressive than several gods together, hence God is unique in every case. This reasoning applies even if there is a universe we do not know, because God (worshipful) must act everywhere otherwise he is no longer a god.
2-existence of God:
There is an administrator for the universe:any example:a palace hyper organized in decorations,arrangements,household,if you are told:this palace does not have a butler(administrator),you will answer:it is not possible that it happens by itself without anybody,your distinctive healthy reason rejects it (you are not crazy),therefore all the more so (a fortiori): (organization much, much better than the palace) all the organization and harmony of nature and the universe make you reject that there is no administrator for the whole universe (we can already say that it is unique, the cycles and others are the mark of the same author, for example nike is the mark of a single manufacturer, example of all the atoms of the universe same process therefore same mark therefore same author), so there is an administrator for the whole universe, and even it is obliged to think that otherwise it is chaos,. ..and many many other examples like the ship without a captain,... there is a creator of the universe: You see a humanoid walking around and you're told no one created him. You're not crazy. Your reason will reject that.So a fortiori,all the more so Your good reason will reject that man has no creator.So There is a creator of the universe, and so on throughout creation, but again the whole universe has the same mark (like nike), so the same author, so the creator is unique and the administration of his creation is the same (layout, arrangement of the way of creating) so the creator is the administrator. As He is unique, He is the great owner of the universe, and He is the one who makes the rules of the universe (such as the instructions of the electrical appliances (operation, maintenance), so it has been proved that the universe has one Lord (the Creator, the owner and the administrator) and He is the only one who deserves to be worshipped, so He is the only God. Otherwise, as God the Creator is at the top, He is also the owner and the administrator. All this is the domain of the reasonable and if you come out of it you are no longer in the reasonable (chaos).
Conclusion: Divine existence and oneness are then demonstrated by reason, but reason does not say everything that God wants from us, hence the prophets and messengers.
3- Application: The verse of the Qur'an that says that there is no god except Allah means that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah, so it means that there is no imperfection on any face, so the Qur'an, its word, has no imperfection since it is one of its characteristics and therefore one face of its perfection, Therefore, by the perfection of the Qur'an (read it in Arabic to see this reality and its explanation) and the uniqueness of the true (you must respect the rules of this book if you are honest) you must take the best interpretation of the verses and the Sunnah (path) of the Prophet (the Qur'an calls to follow the Prophet therefore apply his hadiths (hadiths=words in Arabic) and you must reconcile between the verses (of the Qur'an) and the verses, and verses/hadiths hadiths/hadiths (authentic) because the truth is quite unique and the best sought after is perfection (so correct yours intentions), for example the thief the penalty starts at 1/4 gold dinar, it costs (recently) 39€ for its weight in gold whereas a meal costs 5€, source: the pious predecessors (rule: the Koran says to follow the prophet and the prophet spoke of the first three generations which are the best and he said (ask your heart for clarification), and Allah calls in the Koran to the good and known between the good people (conciliation), etc,. .go on with the rest of the rules of Islam if you are honest (seek the best, perfection, truth, conciliation).
There are rules in Islam and if you don't follow them you find imperfections (which reflect your bad intention), while when you correct your intention you find perfection (it exists, scholars communicate it to each other, I have been reading books about Islam in Arabic for a long time, I testify and I testify that this perfection exists. Why don't you take it if it is possible and the rules of Islam are to take it, hence your attacks are unfounded since this is not what God and his prophet mean (i.e : your words that it is imperfection). ..
People taking drugs is very different from those who build a replica of the person whom they revier. If something is wrong as per your faith does not mean it is wrong as per anothers faith. If the Buddhist scriptures does not say that they should build a statue it also does not say that they should not either. If the Buddhist scripture said that they could build a statue, would you still destroy it then since you scripture says you should not build any statues? Why are you, and who are you to correct someone else about their faith. According to them they think they are right just as much as you think you are right. If according to some other religion, building a place of worship is wrong as per their scripture and the land becomes theirs. Would you be okay if they started demolishing all the mosques in the land? This man is just twisting wrong deeds to make them look right.
Drug addicts have rights too, so get off ur high horse (pun intended)
That excuse is very gratuitous. Yes, buddha wanted no statues but historically the cultures of that time and to to this day feel the need of imagery. Buddhists religiously would shrug their shoulders and point to the fact all is change. Nothing is permanent BUT the statues had historical and cultural significants.

No matter what The prophet ﷺ orders we hear and obey as we know him to be the messenger of Allah swt. We can't pick and choose which part of Islam we like and which part we don't.

If Allah is saying to destroy idols and you're disobeying and saying Allah is saying wrong authobillah I don't know what the consequence will be. You mentioned the 'modern world'. Unlike other religions that have submitted and changed due to the modern world, Islam has not and will not.

THE DIDNT DESTROY IT FOR ISLAM..THEY DESTROYED HUNDREDS OF SAME LIKE PLACES TO LOOT.. ....if it was unislamic ...Ghorids Empire..Ghaznavid Empire.. Ahmad Shah Baba etc etc would have destroy it..whom were known to do such acts.....
Dr Zakir himself is double standard. When French newspaper made fun of prophet Muhammad . He is the one to protest. It's their property. Why are you objecting then. If west ban burkha then why do you object.
You're basically saying destroy all the statues in the world.
A little racist Dr!🙂
Statues have nothing to do with race, duuurrr. It's faith or religion. Where does ethnicity come into it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
What if this happened to mosques or black cubes how would yall feel
Sub han allaha
Then why are you opposing France?
He supports the French farmers though 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
