Zakir Naik’s controversial statement
Fugitive Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, who is known to give controversial speeches is once again in the news for giving another controversial statement which is going to hurt the religious sentiments. Zakir said that it is better to go to a factory that makes weapons for terrorists rather than going to a temple or church.
Zakir said that building such religious places is the biggest sin and attending their inauguration ceremony is also wrong.

These comments of Zakir Naik came when some time ago a young man named Mohammad Zeeshan asked him about getting a job in a temple building company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In such a situation, because he is a Muslim, should he do this job or not?
In a video shared on the Huda TV’s YouTube channel, the Islamic preacher can be heard replying to the person, “It’s like when you ask me if I can work for an alcohol manufacturing company, which is a big sin. If a company makes cocaine or marijuana then it is a big sin because these things take the lives of thousands of people but shirk is the biggest sin in Islam. Cannot work for any other religious place except this, it will be considered haram.”

Zakir Naik angry at ‘secular’ Muslim leaders!
Zakir Naik also said that the work of making weapons for terrorists who kill thousands of innocents is more acceptable than the work of building a temple or church.
He further said in the video, “Unfortunately today there are many Muslim leaders in different parts of the world, who go to the inauguration of churches and temples and show that they are secular. This is not tolerance or secularism. In simple ways. you are helping each other to sin.”
