1) He is an innovator (mubtadi'). He practices things which have never been practiced by the companions of prophets or currently practiced by the acknowledged Muslim scholars of today.
2) In a well known Hadith Prophet Muhammad has prohibited his companion Umar (R) not to handle other people's scriptures. Even though Prophet Muhammad claimed that he was foretold in previous scriptures he never tried to prove it by examining other people's scriptures or encouraged others to do so even when he had a chance. Now this is during the period when the previous scriptures were relatively pure. Now what Zakir Naik is going to prove with today's Books which he himself claims to be full of fabrications?
3) If Zakir Naik methods are so great why it is not promoted or practiced by the Arab Islamic learning centers?
4) If Zakir Naik is such a brilliant person why he doesnt do something great in the field he studied (medicine) -for example find medicine for Aids or Zika virus - and not where he is qualified to do?
5) Freedom of faith is not a one way road. Will Muslim countries allow proponents of other faiths to do to Islam what Zakir Naik does to them? I believe they should not. Nor should they allow Zakir to do it!
6) Zakir methods will breed only resentment in other religious followers and a false sense of superiority in members of Muslim community, thus affecting inter-religious harmony. For example as an Indian Muslim I consider Zakir Naik to be a great nuisance to Indian Muslims, creating religious discord and worsening Muslim's situation there, all for nothing. If he had done something to better the position of Indian Muslims it would have been welcome, which of course is not his cup of tea.
7) Question to promotors of Zakir Naik videos in Qatar. Why are you displaying his videos only in bus stands and market places and not in international summits where world leaders meet? Is his videos so cheap?
Why you should not care about Zakir Naik?
