Well, the inevitable finally happened. At least the British Home Secretary called Dr Naik in Mumbai prior to his trip and told him not to come. I arrived to London this Saturday morning, 19 June, at 8am only to denied entry and put back on a plane at 11am back to Doha!!! So, I was unable to attend the Qur’aan conference on the 20th as planned!!! Sorry to all who attended the conference expecting to hear from me or see me. Even the conference was harassed by the British National Party and had to change their venue at the last moment. And Allah is the best Protector and disposer of our affairs.

Allaahul musta’aan. First the British government failed to actually keep the radical preachers at bay, actually supporting them some way or another, and then it is trying to stop the Da’ees to Islam.
As Allaah ‘azza wa jal said about the disbelievers hostile to Islaam (interpretation of Verse):
9:32 “They (the disbelievers) want to extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the disbelievers hate (it).”
May Allaah make more disbelievers enter into Islaam through their own actions.
i think we can already see the new gouverments policies toward Islam,i had this email before david cameron was elected saying that the israelis were putting millions into his compaign to get their way to the parliement and its clear now that things are gonna be more and more complicated so the muslims should be aware of that and do something.
Allah has defined clearly the state of mind of the disbelievers in the Qur’an.So,this should not really be a surprise to us.The promise of Allah is true.
Successful indeed are the believers.Q23v1
“We have indeed written in Zabur(Psalms) from the past, that this Earth will be inherited by our servant devout muslims” From the Qur’an. If it were one democratic activist banned, you will hear from all the corners of the BBCs, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Frence, India, Amharic etc calling the country responsible for, with many names.
Someone did an excellent job refuting the out of context allegations thrown against Zakir Naik:

Zakir Naik refuted the allegations here, using logic, reason and truth:

Bilal, why were you banned also? You did nothing wrong. This exposes the unjust authorities of the UK. They have the power to lock you up and throw away the key, but Allah has the power to toss them in hellfire, were they belong
Allah, surely will keep on protecting His Deen irrespective of the actions and inactions of the Kuffars and the Munafiqs amongs t the Muslim ummah.
Asalaamu ‘alaikum brother Bilal.
Just a correction to your post, it was the English Defence League (EDL) and not the BNP that heckled the event in London.
To be more precise, it was the Jewish Defence League wing of the EDL.
They seem to have become a bit of a nuisance, I’m not sure if you’re aware of them (look at some youtube videos); they started last year in response to some misguided Muslims (Islam4UK / al-Muhaajiroon / Anjum Chowdhury) ‘protesting’ during a war commemoration of British soldiers and basically are taking on board anyone who hates Islam! Of course, it is under the banner of ‘against MILITANT Islam’ but all you have to do is watch a video or two and see their leaders and followers chanting anti-Muslim slogans which ANY Muslim would be deeply insulted by. Of course, the evidence is on tape and they have not been arrested…but you were banned!!
Thanks to the media campaign on Zakir Naik, the move from the real ‘militants’ has progresssed to the scholars and da’ees such as yourself and even brothers such as Abdur-Raheem Green! Little do the public know, of course, that you only have to watch Peace TV for an hour and see the proof that you all are not ‘extreme’ or ‘hate preachers’ and are against ‘militant Islam’ yourselves!
Their facebook (the EDL) has 20000+ members with hundreds joining daily, and now everytime there is a Muslim event (not just dispicable al-Muhaajiroon events), these idiots turn up!
In fact, I wanted to bring my wife to ‘The Book That Shook The World’ but decided that as we don’t have a car, I don’t really want to encounter those idiots on the train.
To put it into perspective, look at this article:

Please give us some advice bi’idhnillaah!
They will never stop fighting us, until they turn us back from our religion… The threshold of terrorism, and extremism is now lowering, and soon it may encompass all Muslims, including Bralevi’s and Sufi’s… Perhaps now the Ummah needs to awake, and realise the ideological war that is going on, the war of hearts and minds. May Allah (SWT) protect Dr. Bilal Philips from the evil of the Kuffar!
It starts like the holocoust started in Germany 1933 as Hitler came to power. In GErmany we say “Wehret den Anfängen” …that means be aware of the beginnings. There comes a day when there will be no lies and stories. Sometimes we as muslims feed the crocodile that will eat us. We must stop that. We must stop beeing naive. We have to be good muslims and a good role model for humanity but not naive.
They do the same with Pierre Vogel (Abu Hamza) here in Germany. Muslims are so scared to invite him to cities here in Germany although he never preached violence or something unlawful. People just don’t want a man to preach Islam. The one who speaks the truth is always under attack. No problem, Allah swt is all we need. If he wants the message conveyed nobody can stop it.
