Renowned Islamic scholar Dr. Zakir Naik arrived in Pakistan earlier this week to deliver a series of lectures across major cities, including Karachi. However, due to security concerns, the venue for his Karachi lecture has been changed. Originally scheduled to take place at Bagh-e-Quaid, the lecture will now be held at Bahria Auditorium on October 5 and 6, according to reports from Dialogue Pakistan.
Dr. Zakir Naik’s visit to Pakistan comes at the special invitation of the government. His lectures are highly anticipated, with large audiences expected to attend, including scholars and members of the public eager to learn from his teachings. However, due to heightened security concerns, Dr. Naik has been prohibited from delivering lectures in open public spaces.
While in Karachi, Dr. Naik interacted with a limited group of professors and students at Jamia Binoria Aalamia, in accordance with instructions from intelligence agencies. This private interaction replaced any larger public events, as security officials have restricted his appearances in public settings.
Despite the adjustments to his schedule, Dr. Zakir Naik has expressed his gratitude for the warm reception he has received in Pakistan. During his lectures, he continues to emphasize the importance of unity among Muslims, urging them to come together under the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah to address the challenges faced by the global Muslim community.
For those interested in attending his Karachi lectures, the updated schedule and venue information are as follows:
- Date: October 5 and 6, 2024
- Venue: Bahria Auditorium, Karachi
Stay tuned for more updates on Dr. Zakir Naik’s lecture series and further information on his tour across Pakistan.
