DR. ZAKIR NAIK Q&A 12

Q. Are there any common errors you can mention relationship to culture and country? All the errors i mentioned earlier were general for Muslims throughout the world. There are certain errors by people living in certain country, belonging to certain culture. For example – in the Indian Subcontinent, these are people living in India, in Pakistan, in SriLanka. During Ramadan many Muslims play night cricket and they spend most of the time in night cricket rather than doing ibaadah of Allah subhanwatala. So playing night cricket is more common in Indian sub-continent. If you go to the Arab countries, especially the gulf countries there many of the working places and offices they change their timings, they hardly work for couple of hours in the day time and they open most of the times during night. So what happens it encourages the people to do shopping in the night rather than the day and they get more business and they are inviting people rather than spending time in remembering Allah subhanwatala, Muslims spend their time in shopping, in eating during night time. Further more those people who are employed in these shops are forced to come.
