Renowned Islamic scholar Dr Zakir Naik’s recent lecture in Karachi took an unexpected turn when MQM-P leader Farooq Sattar was caught sleeping on camera. The session titled ‘Zakir se Pochye’, held at Polo Ground next to the Governor House, drew a large crowd, including several prominent MQM-P leaders.
The event saw attendance from MQM-P’s Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, Syed Mustafa Kamal, Farooq Sattar, and other notable figures. However, the highlight of the evening was Farooq Sattar’s impromptu nap. The cameraman caught the MQM-P lawmaker dozing off during the lecture, which was broadcast on SMD screens for everyone to see.
The audience couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight, prompting Dr Naik to inquire about the commotion. One of the volunteers kindly informed the 58-year-old scholar that Mr Sattar had fallen asleep. The matter was quickly dissolved after a brief moment of laughter.
Dr Naik is currently in Pakistan for a month-long visit, which began on September 30. His visit includes public lectures and private meetings in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. The lectures are being broadcast live on Peace TV, allowing a broader audience to benefit from Dr Naik’s expertise in comparative religion.
Farooq Sattar sleeping during such a significant event has become a talking point, adding a humorous twist to an otherwise serious lecture. The incident has been widely shared on social media, with many finding it amusing and relatable. Despite the unexpected nap, the lecture continued smoothly, and Dr Naik’s message reached the audience effectively.
