Dr Zakir Naik went to meet Dr Israr Ahmed in Lahore around 1991, as per his passion for meeting all the top living scholars of the world.
Upon meeting him, he told doctor Israr about his background and that he has just finished his medical studies and wants to be a surgeon. He further told him that he desires to do his MS and also wants to involve in Dawah (Invite people towards Islam).
When Doctor Israr Ahmed heard this, he gave two pieces of advice to Dr Zakir Naik that changed his life forever. Either to choose Medical practice or Dawah.
Dr Zakir Naik said that he practised medicine for 7 years and strived to handle both – medical work and dawah work – But he could not do it. So, with dr Israr’s guidance, he left medical practice and ended up choosing Dawah to serve Islam fully.
Also, according to him, dr Israr’s advice, “to make the personal expense the minimum”, is the cornerstone of his success.
