Dr Zakir Naik was asked as to Yazid Ibn Muawiyah (may Allah deprive him and his followers of His Mercy), the so-called Caliph in the History of Islam who was infamous for the murder of Imam Husain, the Grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny).

To be fair, Dr Zakir Naik did not praise Yazid nor express explicitly that he approved of what Yazid had done. What he did do though was to say, “May Allah be pleased with him”, referring to Yazid.

Here are some of the traits & habits of Yazid according to renowned Sunni scholar-historians:

• He loved drinking alcohol even though he was the so-called Caliph of the Muslims.
• He committed incest with his own mother.
• He pleased himself with “beautiful young boys without facial hair” (I leave it to your imagination).
• He said that the religion of Islam was nothing more than a political plot for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) to gain power over Arabia.
• He played with monkeys more than he engaged in worship (if he EVER did any worship).
• After the battle of Karbala, he ordered the raid on the cities of Medina and Mecca. In Medina, his soldiers pillaged the houses, slaughtered the Muslim civilians and raped the women. In Mecca, his army burnt and destroyed the Kaabah, the holiest shrine of Islam, the very House of Allah, with catapults.
