Mpango wa shetani huwa hausimami. Acha tuamini tunachoamini na waho waamini wanachokiamini. Mungu anajua yote, pia huna mamlaka ya kuhukumu mwingine maana hata biblia imesema msihukumu. Mungu hachunguziki. Asa so long as wanamwamini Mungu wa Ibrahim tunayemwamini tatizo ni nini?

Controversial preacher Zakir Naik's visit to Pakistan has raised concerns about rising extremist sentiment. It could also anger India, where the evangelist is wanted for hate speech.
Zakir Naik's trip comes at the invitation of the Pakistani government, alarming many activists and critics.
Indian Islamic preacher Zakir Naik arrived in Pakistan this week for a month-long visit to deliver lectures in major cities, including Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore.
The 58-year-old doctor turned televangelist has remained a controversial figure since the early 1990s and is wanted in India where he faces charges of money laundering and hate speech.
Indian authorities have accused him of "promoting enmity and hatred between different religious groups" through his public speeches and lectures.
Speaking in Malaysia , where he has sought asylum, Naik claimed he had not broken any laws in India and was being targeted by "enemies of Islam."
This marks Naik's first visit to Pakistan in three decades, having last traveled there in 1992. His trip comes at the invitation of the Pakistani government, alarming many activists and critics because he is banned in several countries - including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom - due to his religious extremism.
"I am saddened but not shocked that Zakir Naik has been invited as a guest of the government," nuclear physicist and social activist Pervez Hoodbhoy told DW.
"The state is adding more fuel to the fire," Hoodbhoy suggested.

Amit Ranjan, a research fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore, described Zakir Naik as "a radical Islamic preacher whose speeches and following have caused problems and tensions in Bangladesh and the Maldives."
"Since it is a foreigner to the Pakistani government, it will not benefit the country's social and religious system," Ranjan told DW.
But Qurat ul Ain Shirazi, a political and social analyst, argues that Zakir Naik's visit could help fill the void left by the rise of extremism in Pakistan.
"With the ongoing wave of scandal-related incidents, Naik has offered a fresh perspective by saying 'instead of killing someone in an alleged blasphemy case , [the law] should take its course in this area instead.' He has also condemned terrorism carried out in the name of religion," stressed Shirazi.
In the past, Naik's speeches encouraged people to commit violence against different groups or incite people of different faiths, Ranjan alleged.
"As Pakistan is already facing violence related to socio-political problems, giving space to Naik is nothing but an addition to the existing tensions," Rajan told DW.
Naik's visit to Pakistan comes at a time when relations between the neighbors are at a critical juncture.
"As a purveyor of hate speech, Zakir Naik has been banned from several countries including India. In giving him a royal reception, Pakistan is declaring that it is committed to embracing fundamentalism and is ready to set aside international opinion," Hoodbhoy stressed.
Naik has continued to be controversial because of his brand of Islam and preaching, which, according to media reports, recommends the death penalty for those who abandon Islam as their faith.
"I don't think it would disrupt the relations between the two countries as they are already tense," said Shirazi, adding that Naik has been careful not to mention the disputed region of Kashmir anywhere in his response, which perhaps suggests that he "does not want to start any arguments that could lead to a deterioration in relations between Pakistan and India."
"Pakistan is a very diverse and religious society, some of which follow different forms of Islam," Ranjan said. "Naik's comments could further disrupt sectarian relations in Pakistan among certain sects due to differing perspectives."
"With the Saudis having distanced themselves from orthodox Islam, Pakistan is now seriously seeking to assume the mantle of its protector. Inviting Naik as a state guest is a step towards that. In the process, it is likely to further upset the balance of sectarian forces within the country," Hoodbhoy said.
Shirazi concluded that he did not believe that Naik would consider religious issues.
"I think his visit to Pakistan could also indicate that he is also trying to improve his image because he has faced harsh criticism from certain groups in the past," Shirazi told DW.

The debate over Zakir Naik's influence intensifies
Bangladesh has suspended Zakir Naik's television channel, Peace TV, which promotes his sermons, after media reports suggested that the jihadists who attacked the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka in 2016, killing 29 people, were his friends and followers. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.Amit Ranjan, a research fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore, described Zakir Naik as "a radical Islamic preacher whose speeches and following have caused problems and tensions in Bangladesh and the Maldives."

"Naik's comments could further disrupt sectarian relations in Pakistan among certain sects due to differing perspectives."
Muslim mob in Pakistan accuses Christians of blasphemy
Naik, who now lives in Malaysia, has apologized in the past for making racist remarks. In August 2019, Malaysian police banned him from speaking publicly and questioned him for hours about his views."With the Saudis having distanced themselves from orthodox Islam, Pakistan is now seriously seeking to assume the mantle of its protector.

Maamuma wa dini zote, madhehebu yote tunaweza kutekwa na ujahili wa muhibiri huyu Dr. Zakir Naik mwingi wa kutengeneza chokochoko kila aendapo

Ziara ya mhubiri mwenye utata Zakir Naik nchini Pakistani imezua wasiwasi juu ya kuongezeka kwa hisia za watu wenye msimamo mkali. Hii inaweza pia kukasirisha India, ambapo mwinjilisti anatafutwa kwa matamshi ya chuki.
Safari ya Zakir Naik inakuja kwa mwaliko wa serikali ya Pakistan, na kuwatia hofu wanaharakati na wakosoaji wengi
mhubiri wa Kiislamu wa India Zakir Naik aliwasili Pakistan wiki hii kwa ziara ya mwezi mzima kutoa mihadhara katika miji mikubwa, ikiwa ni pamoja na Karachi, Islamabad na Lahore.
Daktari huyo mwenye umri wa miaka 58 aliyegeuka mwinjilisti wa televisheni amesalia kuwa mtu mwenye utata tangu mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 1990 na anasakwa nchini India ambako anakabiliwa na mashtaka ya utakatishaji fedha haramu na matamshi ya chuki.
Mamlaka za India zimemshutumu kwa "kukuza uadui na chuki kati ya vikundi tofauti vya kidini" kupitia hotuba na mihadhara yake ya umma.
Akizungumza nchini Malaysia , ambako ametafuta hifadhi, Naik alidai kuwa hakuvunja sheria zozote nchini India na alikuwa akilengwa na "maadui wa Uislamu."
Hii inaashiria ziara ya kwanza ya Naik nchini Pakistan katika miongo mitatu, baada ya kusafiri huko mara ya mwisho mwaka 1992. Safari yake inakuja kwa mwaliko wa serikali ya Pakistani, na kuwatia hofu wanaharakati na wakosoaji wengi kwa sababu amepigwa marufuku katika nchi kadhaa - ikiwa ni pamoja na India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. na Uingereza - kutokana na misimamo yake mikali ya kidini.
"Nimehuzunishwa lakini sijashtuka kwamba Zakir Naik amealikwa kama mgeni wa serikali," mwanafizikia wa nyuklia na mwanaharakati wa kijamii Pervez Hoodbhoy aliiambia DW.
"Jimbo linaongeza mafuta zaidi kwenye moto," Hoodbhoy alipendekeza.
Naik bado ana utata kwa sababu ya chapa yake ya kipuritan ya Uislamu na mahubiri Image: HBLnetwork/imago images
Amit Ranjan, mtafiti mwenzake katika Taasisi ya Mafunzo ya Asia Kusini, Chuo Kikuu cha Taifa cha Singapore, alimuelezea Zakir Naik kama "mhubiri wa Kiislamu mwenye itikadi kali ambaye hotuba zake na ufuasi wake umezua matatizo na mivutano nchini Bangladesh na Maldives."
"Kwa kuwa ni mgeni wa serikali ya Pakistan, haitanufaisha mfumo wa kijamii na kidini wa nchi," Ranjan aliiambia DW.
Lakini Qurat ul Ain Shirazi, mchambuzi wa masuala ya kisiasa na kijamii, anahoji kuwa ziara ya Zakir Naik inaweza kusaidia kujaza pengo lililoachwa na kuongezeka kwa itikadi kali nchini Pakistan.
"Pamoja na wimbi linaloendelea la matukio yanayohusiana na kashfa, Naik ametoa mtazamo mpya kwa kusema 'badala ya kumuua mtu katika kesi inayodaiwa kukufuru , [sheria] inapaswa kuchukua mkondo wake katika eneo hili badala yake.' Pia amekemea ugaidi unaofanywa kwa jina la dini," alisisitiza Shirazi.
Hapo awali, hotuba za Naik zilihimiza watu kutekeleza vurugu dhidi ya vikundi tofauti au kuwachokoza watu wa imani tofauti, Ranjan alisisitiza.
"Kwa vile Pakistan tayari inakabiliwa na ghasia zinazohusiana na matatizo ya kijamii na kisiasa, kutoa nafasi kwa Naik si chochote bali ni nyongeza ya mivutano iliyopo," Rajan aliiambia DW.
Ziara ya Naik nchini Pakistan inakuja wakati mahusiano kati ya majirani yakiwa yamedorora sana.
"Kama mfuatiliaji wa matamshi ya chuki, Zakir Naik amepigwa marufuku kutoka nchi kadhaa ikiwemo India. Katika kumpa mapokezi ya kifalme, Pakistan inatangaza kwamba imejitolea kukumbatia misingi na iko tayari kuweka kando maoni ya kimataifa," alisisitiza Hoodbhoy.
Naik aliendelea kuwa na utata kwa sababu ya aina yake ya Uislamu na mahubiri, ambayo, kulingana na ripoti za vyombo vya habari, inapendekeza hukumu ya kifo kwa wale wanaoacha Uislamu kama imani yao.
"Sidhani kama ingevuruga uhusiano kati ya nchi hizi mbili kwa vile tayari hizo ni za mvutano," alisema Shirazi, na kuongeza kuwa Naik amekuwa mwangalifu kiasi cha kutotaja eneo linalozozaniwa la Kashmir popote katika majibu yake, ambayo labda inapendekeza kwamba, "hataki kuanzisha mabishano yoyote ambayo yanaweza kusababisha kuzorota kwa uhusiano kati ya Pakistan na India."
"Pakistan ni jumuiya ya madhehebu mbalimbali na ya kidini sana ambapo baadhi yao wanafuata aina tofauti za Uislamu," alisema Ranjan. "Maoni ya Naik yanaweza kuvuruga zaidi uhusiano wa madhehebu nchini Pakistani miongoni mwa madhehebu fulani kutokana na mitazamo tofauti."
"Pamoja na Wasaudi wamejitenga na Uislamu wa kiorthodox, Pakistan sasa inatafuta kwa dhati kuvaa vazi la kuwa mlinzi wake. Kumwalika Naik kama mgeni wa serikali ni hatua kuelekea hilo. Katika mchakato huo kuna uwezekano wa kuharibu zaidi usawa wa vikosi vya madhehebu. ndani ya nchi," Hoodbhoy alisema.
Shirazi alihitimisha kuwa haamini kuwa Naik atazingatia masuala ya kidini.
"Nadhani ziara yake nchini Pakistan inaweza pia kuashiria kwamba anajaribu pia kuboresha taswira yake kwa sababu amekuwa akikabiliwa na ukosoaji mkali kutoka kwa makundi fulani hapo awali," Shirazi aliiambia DW.

Mjadala juu ya ushawishi wa Zakir Naik unazidi
Bangladesh ilisimamisha chaneli ya runinga ya Zakir Naik, Peace TV, ambayo inakuza mahubiri yake, baada ya ripoti za vyombo vya habari kuashiria kwamba wanajihadi walioshambulia duka la kutengeneza mkate la Holey Artisan Bakery huko Dhaka mnamo 2016, na kuua watu 29, walikuwa wapenzi na waumini wake. Islamic State ilidai kuhusika na shambulio hilo.Amit Ranjan, mtafiti mwenzake katika Taasisi ya Mafunzo ya Asia Kusini, Chuo Kikuu cha Taifa cha Singapore, alimuelezea Zakir Naik kama "mhubiri wa Kiislamu mwenye itikadi kali ambaye hotuba zake na ufuasi wake umezua matatizo na mivutano nchini Bangladesh na Maldives."

Ziara ya Naik inazua wasiwasi huku kukiwa na mvutano mkubwa na India
Baadhi ya wachambuzi wanaonya kuwa ziara ya Naik inaweza kuzidisha mvutano kati ya majirani hao wawili wenye silaha za nyuklia .Hapo awali, hotuba za Naik zilihimiza watu kutekeleza vurugu dhidi ya vikundi tofauti au kuwachokoza watu wa imani tofauti, Ranjan alisisitiza.

Makosa ya madhehebu
Wataalamu wengi wanasema kuwa hotuba za Naik nchini huenda zikachochea hisia za itikadi kali."Pakistan ni jumuiya ya madhehebu mbalimbali na ya kidini sana ambapo baadhi yao wanafuata aina tofauti za Uislamu," alisema Ranjan. "Maoni ya Naik yanaweza kuvuruga zaidi uhusiano wa madhehebu nchini Pakistani miongoni mwa madhehebu fulani kutokana na mitazamo tofauti."
Kundi la Waislamu nchini Pakistan linawatuhumu Wakristo kwa kukufuru
Naik, ambaye kwa sasa anaishi Malaysia, aliomba radhi siku za nyuma kwa kutoa matamshi ya kibaguzi. Mnamo Agosti 2019, polisi wa Malaysia walimpiga marufuku kuzungumza hadharani na kumhoji kwa saa nyingi juu ya maoni yake."Pamoja na Wasaudi wamejitenga na Uislamu wa kiorthodox, Pakistan sasa inatafuta kwa dhati kuvaa vazi la kuwa mlinzi wake.

Ndio maana nakuambia wewe jamaa ni pumba tu sema ni muhubiri gani wa kikristo aliwahi kuacha kuhubiri habari za dini yake (Yesu) na kuingiza habari za mtume wenu Mohamed.
Believing vs thinking
When speaking or writing, I avoid using the word “believe”. Instead, I replace it with “think”. “I think that…” instead of “I believe that”.
What’s the point? Language matters. Believing is the opposite of knowing. If you believe something, you don’t know something. Instead, you guess. You hope. You connect a few randomly acquired dots. You want something to be the case. You have been told that something is a fact. But you have no idea if it’s true. You are either too lazy to gather the data, or you are afraid that the data would contradict your belief, or you know that what you believe is impossible to prove. But in order to still make it sound relevant and important, you use the word “believe”.
And so, from my observation, the use of the verb “believe” has become a revealing indicator for weak points in an argumentation. One’s own or others. Whenever believe is being used, it’s a sign that a debate goes into the wrong direction.
For myself, I have found that replacing “believe” with “think” creates a different perception, and it challenges me. If you say “I think that…”, it sounds more like what it is: A modest hypothesis; the temporary result of your brain working that comes without any entitlement of representing the truth or being close to the truth. It could be, but you do not expect other people to instantly accept your statement as the truth. What you are saying might be bullshit, too. But it’s ok because it is not your “belief”. If you say you believe something, it has a different sound. An ideological one. One lacking honest reflection. It’s something you would repeat over and over again in many debates, without ever feeling the need to question it.
Of course “I believe” can also be replaced with other phrases such as “In my opinion” or “In my eyes” or “from my point of view”. In my eyes (hehe), all these phrases are great, because they really emphasize the subjectivity in a message. And they remind those who say it of it. As I pointed out previously. It’s challenging, too.
Personally I use “believe” only when it comes to people. I believe in myself, I believe in some other people. That’s a way of increasing motivation and optimism. If you don’t believe in that you can accomplish something it’s less likely that you will try. If others don’t believe in your capabilities, it also might affect you negative.
But in all other situations, I try to avoid “believing”. I prefer knowing something or having a personal point of view/hypothesis instead of a belief. That leaves at least a bit room for alternative perspectives, contradicting ideas and doubt. “Believing” often does not
