Dr Naik: “The major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception of God is the common Hindus’ belief inthe philosophy of Pantheism. Pantheism considers everything, living and non-living, to be Divine and Sacred. The common Hindu, therefore, considers everything as God. He considers the trees as God, the sun as God, the moon as God, the monkey as God, the snake as God and even human beings as manifestations of God!” Comment: (1. Dr Naik speaks this sentence with a slight smirk in his face in his video shows so that the audience feels humorous. But either he is mistaken or deliberately acting humorous. 2. Because Hinduism basically represents a school of thought believing in Law of Karma. The rest of the details are left to individual interpretation. All Hindus do consider functioning of each object – living or dead – as a gift of God, but they DO NOT consider the tree, sun, moon, monkey,snake, human as same as God/Ishwar. 3. Even the Advait believers, also admit that even if these things are considered to have origin in Ishwar or Brahma, currently thereis a layer of ignorance or Maya separating them. 4. For rest of Hindus, they worship these objects, to show their thankfulness toIshwar/ God to have created and gifted such wonderful things! Different sects do take this thankfulness todifferent levels,but none would considereverything to be God in present state, as IRF foolishly believes or wants the world to believe. Thus the crux of thisarticle and its prime agenda become outrightly baseless. 5. The problemis that the neo-wahabi Islam which Dr Zakir Naik wants all Hindus to embrace does not have any philosophy or need for subtlethinking that demands finesse of mindand intellect. Itwould want us to believe that polygamy is right because there are morewomen in USA than men (Although there are far less women than men in marriageable age!). Or that had Islam beenbrutal in India, why would there be only 15% Muslim in India after so many centuriesof rule? (And he would conveniently ignore 33 crore Muslims in Bangladesh and Pakistan which were originally part of India. Not totalk of Afghanistan! But we need tobeware of designs of those who openly supportBin Laden and ban on other religions (including Shias, Sufis, Ahmadiyas, Bahais) in Muslim countries or have a vision to make India a Muslim country in 5 years!)
