"Living in Pakistan offers more chances of attaining paradise compared to the US," says Zakir Naik

Karachi: Renowned religious scholar Dr. Zakir Naik has stated that Pakistan is far better than the U.S., and despite complaints about the country, the chances of attaining paradise while living in Pakistan are hundreds of times higher compared to the U.S.

During his address at the Governor House in Karachi, Dr. Zakir Naik expressed his disapproval of Muslims leaving an Islamic country to settle in non-Muslim countries. 

He emphasized that one cannot achieve the true purpose of life by imitating others, but only by following Allah's commandments.

Naik further stressed the importance of being kind to parents as instructed in the Quran, but clarified that if parents instruct against the teachings of Allah and His Prophet, one should not obey them.

The religious scholar also shed light on the governmental pressures that led him to leave India, reiterating that Pakistan is far superior to the U.S. in terms of living a life that leads to paradise.

It is noteworthy that Dr. Zakir Naik is visiting Pakistan on the invitation of the government and is scheduled to address various events in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, while meeting with key national figures.

Currently, Dr. Zakir Naik is in Karachi for a 10-day visit.
