Took place in Bangalore in front of a jam packed crowd of about 50000, at the Palace Grounds on 21st Jan 2006.




The stage was set. A Fifty Thousand plus strong crowd.

In a slight change in schedule at the behest of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Dr. Zakir Naik presented his talk first.

"The difference between Hindus and Muslims happens to be just a small apostrophe in the way they think. Hindus think that everything — sun, moon, stars, water, snake, earth and all — is God. Muslims, on the other hand, think that everything is God’s creation. Hence the difference between the two is just the apostrophe." This is how Dr Zakir Naik began the dialogue.



Zakir talked about concept of God in Hinduism and Islam in the light of religious scriptures.

During last 20 minutes, he quoted the book authored by Ravishankar and brought various errors in the same. Dr Naik quoted extensively from Hindu and Islamic scriptures. “The best way to understand religion is to learn them from the scriptures,” Dr Naik said.

Dr. Zakir Naik addresses the gathering.



This was followed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's talk. Ravishankar quoted that "we don't need study of various scripture to understand God!". He spoke about importance of loving each other. He spoke for about 35 minutes, out of his alloted 60 minutes.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.



Then again Dr. Zakir Naik came in to respond to the talk of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

This was followed by a very interesting Open Question and Answer session. First three questions were directed at Ravishankar that he should have talked about "concept of God" nothing else. He accepted that the book written by him, was published in hurry and came forward to acknowledge it openly that it contains errors. He informed the enlightened audience that he would not publish the second edition. Dr. Zakir thanked him for this noble decision!

Peace TV is finally here

PEACE TV an Islamic channel that follows Aqeedha of the Quran and Sunnah!

And we don't have to feel guilty about seeing TV anymore (really?).

Scholars like Dawood Adib (Highly rcomended Audio Lecture: How to Build an Islamic Household) would tell you the concept of TV itself, is not good for a man practicing Islam (see how I'm avoiding the word 'Haram' here). If pictures of animals and human beings keep away the angels from entering our house then TV which is nothing but motion picture or picture in motion, would defenitly not encourage angles to stay. Further if angles stay away from a house the only other unwelcomed guests would be that of Jinns considering there are unguarded human beings there to exploit.

Nevertheless I'm sure for most of you, watching TV was a difficult habit to break.
This is a great way to start by migrating from 'Bad TV' to 'Good TV' to 'NO TV'.
For those who have left TV totally i would recommend them to stay away from this also. Either you can enjoy this channel for what it is or at least you have found one good use for the old TV in the corner.

PEACE TV can be tuned on:-

If convincing the cable operator to air this channel does not help, you could still get a Set-Top-Box dedicated to this channel alone.
