Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, who is a fugitive in India, recently delivered his first lecture in Oman on the topic 'The Quran is a Global Necessity’, and made several remarks about how the Hindus in India love him and follow his teachings.
During his speech in Oman, Zakir Naik said that most of the Hindu population in India which is why political parties are against him, as they want to divide the vote bank. Naik made these comments on Thursday, during an event to mark the commencement of Ramadam 2023.
As quoted by India Today, Zakir Naik said, “The problem is that the majority of Hindus in India love me. They love me so much that it is creating a problem for the vote bank. In India, when I do talks and meetings, there are hundreds and thousands of people, 50 million to 100 million, especially in Bihar and Kishanganj, and out of these, 20 per cent are non-Muslims.”
The Islamic preacher said that his Hindu followers approach him and tell him that the things that they learn from him, they haven’t learned these things from their own religious preachers in 40 hours of lecture.
According to a video shared on social media, Zakir Naik converted a Hindu woman to Islam during his speech. He read some lines the Quran during an event in Muscat, and asked the woman to repeat after him, sparking a major controversy on social media.
