Re: A disappointing Dr Zakir Naik
I don't want to get involved in this whole debate about shia and sunni, but i would like to share the correct opinion among Sunni scholars about Yazid bin Mu’awiyah. There are 3 views about him, 2 extreme and one moderate. First extreme view is that he was a kafir etc and other extreme view is that he was shaabi and loved by Allah etc. The moderate view, which is the correct view, is that he was neither loved by Allah and nor was he a kafir or a sahabi. He was a Muslim king who did good deeds and bad deeds and he was involved in the martyrdom of Hadhrat Husayan (RA). This is also my personal view about him.
