Zakir Naik's alleged follower arrested under UAPA for role in conversion'

July 22, 2016

Mumbai, Jul 22: In more trouble for doctor-turned-Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, as one of his alleged followers has been arrested by the Maharashtra ATS and the Kerala Police in a joint operation in connection with suspected conversion case of missing Kerala youths.

Police sources said that Arshid Qureshi was arrested after one of the relatives of a missing youth from Kerala accused the former of instigating Hindus and Christians to stop idol worshipping and accept Islam.

Meanwhile, news agencies such as ANI and Times of India have claimed that Arshid Qureshi was a close aide of Dr Zakir Naik and that he was recruiting Kerala youths for the terror outfit Islamic State. However, police have not confirmed these allegations.

Based on a complaint of a Kerala family, the police have booked Qureshi under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups), 34 IPC and 13 UAPA.

If Qureshi's links with IRF is established, this could be the first arrest of a Dr Naik's organisation, which is under scanner since a section of media claimed that two of the Bangladesh cafe attackers were inspired by his preaching.

According to reports, Qureshi was held after the police raided a flat in Seawoods. He was produced before a magistrate's court in CBD-Belapur on Thursday and remanded in transit custody for four days. He will be questioned by the Maharashtra ATS and later taken to Kerala.

Ebin Jacob (25), the brother of Merin alias Mariam who is missing along with her husband Bestin Vincent alias Yahia from Kerala, had told police that there was an attempt to forcibly convert him to Islam and make him join IS.

Ebin had reportedly told Kochi police that Bestin and Qureshi were behind the attempted conversion.

Based on this statement, the Palarivattom police slapped charges under Section 13 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on the duo and booked them under sections of the IPC.

The case against Qureshi and Bestin could be the first registered under UAPA against any of the 21 Keralites who have gone missing under suspicious circumstances.

I will re phrase my previous question..... Did prophet ( PBUH ) told us to follow Shafi / Hanafi /Maliki / Hambali after him ????

If he has not told, then why we are doing like that ( Got divided in to 4 groups )

Dear Sk,

why our prophet will follow any imam...he is the imam of all our imam...same we are following...

As u said u r admiring zakir naik.. same we are admiring all our 4 imam, sahaba, ambia and awliya and all scholors of ahle sunnah wal jamath

Mone. moodbidri..... Do not assume as u like.... I am not a follower of Dr Zakir Naik.... I just admire him for his vast knowledge .... I listen to all types of Moulanas ....I will pick up which looks correct for me Allah has given me brain to analyse the things....I am not a blind follower of any thing.....In Islam every thing has LOGIC and we have to undrstand properly....So you do not have any answer, as to which Imam was followed by Prophet ( PBUH )

Dear Sk,

Same question for you?

why you are following zakir naik?....

There is nothing logic dear its all about true understanding of islam....in 40 days jamath you will not learn everything about islam...for that you need to concern scholar who spent his life on islam...

Mono, why we are not following Prophet (PBUH ) ???????/
Why we are following the Imams, ????// what is the logic......don't we have any hadees telling how the Prophet was following ??????

dear sk

Different imams have different opinion about our beloved phophet , but you can follow any one of then no harm in that...but they never twisted any meaning of quran and hadeeth...as a ahl sunnah wal jamath we believe in all imam and their companions

now ur turn, if u r telling ki u r following directly from prophet, then u will give me hadees reference and that hadees was revealed by sahaba right?...same hadees we are following which are revealed by sahaba's

i guess now u understood...

Mone, Moodbidri......pls tell me our Prophet ( PBUH ) was following which Imam.....Shafi, Hannafi, Maliki, Hambali........... Today what we are doing and what we are following ????????????????????????????

sk sir,

our prophet followed his own way which is as per almighty wish ..later same way is followed by sahaba, ambia, aulia and ahle sunnah wal jamath

but now some bussiness man came with some follower and changed the real meaning of quran and hadees as per his requirment

May allah bless all

Mone, Moodabidri......I asked about the Prophet ( PBUH ). and not about you.....answer specifically.....do not go round the Bush

iam following prophet, sahaba , ambiya , auliya and great scholors of ahle sunnah wal jamath

Mone, Moodbidri..... Which ......ism was followed by our Prophet ( PBUH )

Dear Guru,
Zakir naik studied Comparative religions and it is his right to tell the TRUTH...
In Vedas it is mentioned that NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI. (There is no idols).. For so long YOur own hindu priests have misguided U guys and ask u people to worship the man made creation like Pratima, idols, pictures, status, worst is the animals and some even worse, they worship the naked people instead of following the Scriptures.

Now ZAKIR naik is telling the truth that there is no IDOL worship in Hinduism itself and the people (who says we are Head) who discriminate others are the leaders of YOUR religion...
U have to learn Y VEDAS say NA TASYA PRATImA ASTI... read and PONDER on this verse also compare it with what ISLAM says about Worshiping ONE GOD.... without image or statues... It will be clear to U & U will realize U are being FOOLED by the HEADS to bow down to the CREATION of ALLAH (god).
God's help come if YOUR intention is HONEST and U search for the TRUTH... TRY it (Just say : O the one who created ME - Guide ME)

TRUTH will prevail Falsehood will perish... even if the deception is as high as the mountain... which many people are blind to see.

Dear Sister Fatimah,

Let him stop poking other religion .. we used to leave happily in 90's .. why only now we are facing problems?...Why my friends ( not a naik's fans) are such a loving persons compared to zakir naik followers ..It shows thier mentality towards others .. its not good for society

Brother Guru,

Brother Neither Naik nor rss gangs can harm India.It is only our thinking ,assumptions promote it.Zakir Naik is a self made man,since it is duty of every mislim to invite non muslim for dialogue(da'wah) ,he is following it.We are obliged to spread the Islamic views to world or else it is a debt on us when we die.Thats it.He was doing his duty.He didnot force anyone to Islam.As he himself asks the non muslim openly do anyone force yo?Is it for fame or money you come to Islam etc?So there is no question of forced conversion.

However all Indian must understand it is a political gimmick by ruling party and some vested intrests who finds profit in defaming nother community people.They are slowly brainwashing the good hindus to hardcore hindus and attach social stigma status on muslims.But we dont care coz we know whatever Allah does is for good.Islam is the solution to mankind not a problem.

No one can convert by force anyone....people are understanding what is right and wrong...if someone understands what is Islam and its truthfulness...then he or she does not need anybodies force to convert...

Zakir Naik did not convert anyone forcefully...if you look at any of his speeches....

one of my friend was die hard fan of zakir...but after the media exposed about his assets and drama about conversion he changed his mind...now he is not following him to save india

so i request my fellow indians to not to follow fraud naik and please save our beautiful country

follow sufism to stop terrorism

One new convert was asked to support jihad ...it is well known fact that women are being trapped to fall in love by giving money to jobless jihadists ...then they are made to join Isis ..same thing happened in Kerala ...yesterday we saw Pakistan flag flying over a jihadis house and last week PFI shouted anti India and pro Pakistan slogans and owaisi offered help to Isis members ...it proves this community wants serious escalation of violence.

Mr.zakir naik is next asaraam bapu of india...soo many dumb followers with lot of property...jaago followers jaago

Bengaluru, Jul 1: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief DK Shivakumar on Wednesday said that the state Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa should apologise to the nation for the Ballari incident.

"It is shocking to see the Ballari incident. The way the dead bodies of the corona victims have been treated is very unfortunate. The entire country witnessed it. I request the Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to apologise to the nation. India is known for its values and traditions," Shivakumar told reporters here.

Earlier, Shivakumar had posted a video which allegedly showed officials 'inhumanly' dumping bodies of those patients who die of COVID into a pit in Ballari, the district administration confirmed it and said that the entire field team involved in the incident has been disbanded.

"It's disturbing to see bodies of COVID patients who have died being dumped inhumanly into a pit in Ballari. Is this civility? This is a reflection of how the government has handled this Corona crisis. I urge the govt to take immediate action and ensure that this doesn't happen again," Shivakumar's tweet, which also had a video of the incident embedded, read.

The Deputy Commissioner, Ballari issued a press note which stated that it had conducted an enquiry after the video surfaced and it was found that the video belonged to the district and "comprises of burial of eight people who passed away after succumbing to COVID-19."

Although, according to the DC, all protocols and SOPs were followed by the team during the burial process, however, the "disrespectful handling of the bodies while being lowered on to the ground by the field staff" led to the entire field team involved being disbanded and will be replaced by a new team trained by the HOD, Forensic, VIMS.

The district administration also issued an unconditional apology to the families of the deceased and to others who were hurt by the incident.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa also termed the behaviour of the staff "very inhuman and very painful" and urged the staff to tread cautiously with humanity in handling the funeral of those affected by the disease, and added, "Let's walk with humanity, and realize that there is no greater religion than humanity."
