Questioner: Assalamu Alaiklum! My name is Imran Mohammad. I’m an IT manager. My question is regarding the media and conspiracy theories. How should a Muslim respond to conspiracy theories such as America’s trying to take over the world, suppressing Islam, etc. etc. All too after finding Muslims who are not educated in Islam correctly. Dive into the conspiracy series more than the knowledge we should be acquiring. How should a Muslim respond to these conspiracy theories?
Dr. Zakir: The brother has asked a question that how should a Muslim respond to the conspiracy theory by the Americans etc. against Islam and we don’t have our own knowledge. What should we do? Brother the first thing we should do is we should know our Deen. Unfortunately, most of the Muslims don’t know their own religion. That’s the reason we are in this problem. If you know Deen very well this media would not have a chance to say what its saying. Unfortunately, we ourselves don’t know our Deen and that’s the reason when the media says many things, we Muslims become apologetic, we tend to agree. I’ll just give you an example.
There was a very good pious Muslim, mashaAllah he comes and tells me that Brother Zakir do you know these Talibans they are very ruthless people, bad people. I said WHY? What happened? Because they beat the women. I said who told you? I saw it with my own eyes. Where did you see it? He saw it on BBC. See I’m not here to defend the Taliban. They’re not my friends neither are they my enemies. I haven’t met them. I’m not to defend them. But when I keep on traveling. I meet people. I was in Malaysia giving a talk. And there was a couple, both of them were doctors. There was a Gynecologist & a Pediatrician, both of them were doctors. They spent more than a month in Afghanistan. Trying to help the injured people. And that lady doctor, she told me they shot they show on the television Taliban hitting the women, they aren’t Taliban. I said how do you know? She said, see because I’ve been with the Talibans, I know how they tie their turban, for example we as non Arabs we will not find a difference between the way the Gatra is tied of the Arabs. But Arab knows the way an emirate ties a Gatra is different. The way a Saudi ties Gatra is different, the way a Kuwaiti ties is different. They know, we don’t know. So she being with Taliban she knows the way the turban is tied in that shot it can’t be a Taliban. So even the shooting they did in Hollywood, where they did I don’t know. They didn’t do a good job.
The media can change anything. For e.g. If I ask you that how is Georg Bush? Is he good or bad? You’ll say he’s not good, For example, I will chop off the ‘not’ and it’ll sound “ George Bush is Good” when I show you your own recording you’ll say by slip of the tongue I said he’s good. Actually you didn’t say that. You said he’s not good. I chopped off the not. I show you see this is, brother, you’ve said he’s good. So you’ll say okay it was a slip of the tongue. It wasn’t a slip of the tongue; you wanted to say he’s not good. I chopped off the not and it sounds like he’s good. So this is the media plays games. So we as Muslims what we should do that we should know our religion very well. We should know our Deen very well. And when anyone replies we should not be swayed by how they portray Islam. And to judge Islam we should go to the authentic sources the Qur’an and the Sahih Hadith. We should not look at what Muslims do or what the Muslim society does…
