The sultan
had invited me
for this program
more than 3 months back.
And after I accepted the invitation
to come on 2nd November,
my lawyers told me that there's an important
case going on in Malaysia. You have to
attend on 2nd November. I said, no. I've
given the vote to the sultan. I cannot
cancel my trip.
And today morning, few hours back, was the
hearing,
the final verdict of the case. I had
sued.
I had filed a defamation case
against Rama Swamy,
who was the deputy chief minister of Penang
because he insulted me.
4 years ago, in August
2019, I gave a talk in Kelantan,
a state
in Malaysia.
And masha Allah, there were more than 100,000
people for my talk.
It was the largest
religious gathering in Malaysia, Masha Allah. A foreigner
coming
and giving a talk in Kelantan.
More than 100,000 people gathered, and the chief
minister gave me the award, Die of Duma.
The non Muslim enemies of Islam, they could
not digest it.
Few days after the talk, they started maligning
me. Zakir is a terrorist,
Zakir is a hate preacher.
So what I did, I picked up the
5 most important people who maligned me,
and most of them all of them were
politicians.
What I did? I sued them in the
court of law. When I sued them, 1
person
was a cabinet minister
of human resources.
2nd person was a deputy
chief minister of Penang.
1 person was member of parliament.
4th person and the 5th person, they were
member of assembly, all politicians.
All of them of Indian origin,
maligning me. What I did, I filed a
suit against them. They told who is the
foreigner. When we criticize the prime minister, no
one. There's a case against us. Who is
the foreigner
who is suing us?
Allah blessed.
Most of them,
they did the outside court settlement with me,
and they apologized to me. I said, no
problem.
But the biggest
enemy of Islam,
who I call,
I did not forgive him. I said, we
let the court case go on. The court
case went for 2 years, and today morning
was the verdict.
Today morning, a few hours before the verdict
was there, and the judge told Ramasamy,
who was at that time the deputy chief
minister of Penang,
to pay a fine of 1,520,000
Malaysian ringgit to doctor Zakir Naikha's compensation.
1.52,000,000
Malaysian ringgit is equivalent to
320,000
US dollars.
It is equal to
383,000,000
naira.
If $1 is 1,200
naira,
the judge of high court ordered Dhammaswami
to pay doctor Zakir Naik within 30 days
1,520,000
ringgit, which is equal to 320,000
US dollars, which is equal to 383,000,000
naira.
And today,
I pledged this amount,
this complete amount for the cause of Palestine.
I want to donate this full amount.
This is the least I can do. This
complete amount of 1,520,000
ringgit,
320,000
US dollars,
383,000,000
naira, I pledge it as a donation
to the Palestinian
cause for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
And this word, it just came few hours
before, today early morning. I pray to Allah
that may He grant the martyrs,
May He give tawba to the brothers and
sisters in Palestine.
May He give them his tikamah.
And Insha'Allah, Insha'Allah, victory will be ours.
Surely,
Allah is testing us. Are we following the
Quran or not?
