Examining claims against Zaid Hamid

Examining claims against Zaid Hamid
By Muhammad SalmanPublished in Other Islamic Refutations

Assalam o alaykum,

In this article we shall rebut the lie and slander against Sir Zaid Hamid with clear reasoning, evidence and rationality.
Brief view at the lie and slander

With immensely growing popularity of Zaid Hamid and his intellectual videos and policy papers, which was seen by some people as a growing threat, there is a bizarre article being forwarded on emails chaining the inboxes and are also found on few bloggers pages which claim that Zaid Hamid have links with a paranoid person who claimed to be a prophet and was consequently murdered for this blasphemy.Indeed Prophet Muhammad SAW was the Seal of All Prophets.

The article is a very despicably written and shows the photo of the false Prophet - Yusuf Kazzab, taken from the cutting of the magazine and with it is a scanned copy of an article in Urdu which apart from other malice says that Yusuf Kazzab claimed to be Prophet and appointed Zaid Zaman as his first Khalifah. The article goes on to further say that the authors friends were deceived by this false prophet, and some later returned to Hidayah, when he was invited at some dinners and also Zaid Zaman was also accompanying them and his excellent communication skills and young handsome figure made people his fan. The writer continues on to say the false prophet said that he had the Noor of Prophet SAW. Interestingly then the writer says that at the time of the false prophet Yusuf Kazzab, Zaid Zaman was an extremely dedicated supporter and also promoted his cause and is still running his sect. If you are noticing the word Zaid Zaman and wondering what has this got to do with Zaid Hamid, then you are intelligent enough to get the meat of this article!. The author said that back then Zaid Hamid was known as Zaid Zaman!

These were the main lies and malice in the article which we shall now expose inshAllah.
Investigation

What is evidence? It is imperative that we first understand what constitutes an evidence. Evidence can be defined as:

-Information indicating whether something is true or valid.
-Information used to establish facts in a legal investigation or to support a case In a law court

It is essential that we verify the sources of information to check from where the information is validate from to check its authenticity and reasonableness before accepting the information and its conclusion as a belief or appropriate information.

It is a spiritual duty on us by Allah (SWT) to verify the source of information before accepting it and if you deny it then you can be a madman and believe anything which comes your way.

After familiarizing with what is an evidence, We should know that anything which does not have an evidence is an unsubstantiated claim having no foundation at all. For example , If you go to High Court and file a case against your friend and accuse him of stealing your car, the lawyers or authorities are going to ask you to provide evidence and substantiate your claim, If you don't have one then you are only gonna say that "This guy stole my car, I know it very well so arrest him!". The authorities wouldn't take more then a second to consider you a paranoia and tell you to go back home.
Finding evidence

Now we shall look at trace of evidence, if any, in the article under consideration & If we find information and claims without any supporting evidence or act of rationality, then it will be proved that the article linking Zaid Hamid with Yusuf Kazzab, is misinformation which makes a claim against an Intellectual of our time and would be
considered as a deception towards the public.

The readers are free to judge themselves as we shall base our entire article on sound evidence and which will appeal to rationality, to expunge the falsehood.
Source of information

The author says that he received all the information about Zaid Hamid accompanying Yusuf Kazzab and all the above mentioned events, through a message on facebook from a friend. That's it! The source of information is a mere message at the facebook. Would you or anyone form an opinion about any high profile person just based on some messages on facebook? I receive tones of messages each day saying that Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is going to descent on earth this year and few weeks back I got some message saying that I am going to get free tickets to Switzerland! But I am still enjoying the heat of Arabia!

The source of information is just a facebook message which is totally unrealiable, without any evidence as we have no idea about who the person who sent the message is actually is, and why should we take his word and not Zaid Hamids word when he said that all this is simply a mythology and lie fabricated against him to defame him. Why believe a person whom we have never seen or don't even have a proper profile but disbelieve in a person whom we know very well?

It is just like If I send a message to my friend on orkut and say that Barack Obama used to live with me 15 years back in Egypt and just to collect tins for the pepsi company! And then my friend whom I sent this message spread this piece of information to public! Would you really buy this fable? Ofcourse not!

Further more we have no other source of information confirming this fact, Its only one person story. If that would had been the case, then it would be reasonable to assume that there would be a group of people who would confirm this fact about Zaid Hamid links to the Cursed Yusuf Kazzab and would have provided us with some evidence. We would have had some pictures of Zaid Hamid with Yusuf Kazzab, when he was invited on dinners and was back then a prominent figure then its reasonable to assume that people would have taken pictures of this famous personality! While we have none! There are no testimonies of people who went astray by this false prophet and then some who reverted back to Hidaya, we don't have a word from them! Why? Because the event is totally untrue.

This clearly proves that the source of information is fabricated and totally un trustable, is dishonest and is just a small paper written by someone on facebook as a time pass to fool people and defame Zaid Hamid. All of this is based on anecdotal evidence which is pseudoscientific, in other words … It's a Joke without humor!
False Prophet Khalifah roaming around?

How come it is that the appointed Khalifah of the false prophet didn't got executed by the authorities or various zealous Islamic Groups in Pakistan? Didn’t any one initiate a search warrant for this guy? Then suddenly Zaid Zaman comes up after a decade and decide to open a defense and security analysis think tank!

Sir Zaid Hamid's early life is clearly documented and his website contain the events when he went to do perform Jihaad in Afghanistan, we have the fully documented evidence while for the Kazzab Zaid Zaman we don't have a clue who he was and how did he look like, we have no picture to identify him.
The Audio Speech

The most funniest thing in all this conspiracy was the audio file uploaded with speech of Yusuf Kazzab who then introduce Zaid Zaman, the so called sahabah, who gives the speech and It amazes me that people even have time to believe in this non sense. No where does the speech identify the man as ZAID HAMID or ZAID ZAMAN HAMID but just SYED ZAID ZAMAN. It's just like some one saying, that the BackStreetBoys Audio CD which I just bought from Music City which have a cover identifying the audio CD as BackStreet Boys and the CD contains BackStreetBoys songs, is the audio CD of eric Clapton and then insist me that the BackStreetBoys 10 years back were Indians and now they started making English Songs!

It is clear from all logical and empirical evidence that this was just a failed attempt to defame Sir Zaid Hamid.It is just a game lost game of misinformation. In this time of ours when paranoids like Salman Rushdie are honored and respected by our enemies, we will always see hate towards the Muslim leaders and Sir Zaid Hamid is the one who want to alert us of their games and hence they will do their best to defame him.
Its time we stand united and live with our eyes open and don't believe in any misinformation games created by our enemies.

All Praise be to Allah!
