A young man from Iran told Dr. Zakir Naik that after he studied the history of the Iranian nation, he read that Muslim soldiers came and attacked his country. He read that the Muslim army forced the Iranian population to embrace Islam. He did not agree with the coercion. He also told me that his family embraced Islam, but because he did not want to be born as a Muslim, he therefore decided to apostasy from Islam. This is part of Dr.'s question and answer session Zakir Naik at UITM Shah Alam, Malaysia.
BIOGRAPHY DR. ZAKIR UP
Zakir Naik was born on 18 October, 1965 Mumbai (Bombay at the time) he was a public speaker of Indian Muslims, and author of Islam and comparative religion. Since 1991 he has been a cleric involved in Islamic da'wah and religious comparison.
Zakir Naik is also the founder and president of the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) a non-profit organization. Topics that he often talks about include: Islam and Modern Science, Islamic and Christian Equality, Christology, Islam and Secularism, Divinity of Jesus Christ, Crucifixion of Jesus, Divinity of Jesus, Prophecy of Prophet Muhammad in the Bible, Prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad in Hinduism, Prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad in the Buddhist Scriptures, etc.
If we look at the video show Dr. Zakir Naik on Youtube, his lecture was not only Muslims but also by Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, even atheism. And we see from his lectures on YouTube, many of the non-Muslims included priests, pandids, etc. who had previously held a religious debate with him but eventually converted to Islam.
Dr. Zakir Naik with his ability in the form of memorization is very strong not only able to memorize the Qur'an and Sahih Bukhari Muslim, but he also has mastered the Vedas, Tripitaka, Bhagavad gita, even has moved the hearts of thousands of Hindus in India and become a Hindu mu'allaf. He without hesitation also corrects priests and priests if they are wrong in quoting verses in the Bible or the Gospel.
However, unlike his teacher, namely Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, Dr. Zakir Naik does not have as much Open Debate agenda as Ahmed Deedat because almost all the debate challenges presented by Dr. Zakir Naik many who did not get a response from the church, even until now there has been no news whether there is a priest who dared to face him directly. Therefore, Dr. Zakir Naik was nicknamed "Ahmed Deedat Plus" who had made priests and priests horrified to face him whose arguments had never been broken.
