He is not a televangelist

according to Wikipedia a televangelist is someone who preaches (= gives religious speeches) on television in order to persuade people to become Christians and give money to religious organizations:

 So really he preaches Islam Salahjun (talk) 17:47, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Naik is absolutely a televangelist. Although the word is customarily used for Christian TV preachers, by adding the adjective "Islamic" or "Muslim" (as in Islamic/Muslim televangelist), the problem is solved. 19:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hathilub117 (talk • contribs)

Complete a reference

Reference 10 is incomplete -- lacking the author's name. Matthew J. Kuiper should be added as the author of the chapter "Zakir Naik and the Islamic Research Foundation", in the book Da'wa and Other Religions. 19:04, 7 December 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hathilub117 (talk • contribs)

Add this paragraph in views: social issues section or make a new saction naming homosexuality in views section: Zakir Naik claimed in a public lecture's question-answer that, the cause of homosexuality is not genetic^[1], because research of gay gene (Xq28) was later proved as false and the man (Dean Hamer) who claimed to discover it, later himself identified as a homosexual, thus he falsely claimed the discovery of this gene as genetic^[2]^[3]; the actual cause of it is satisfying sexual desire outside the law of Allah, which is lawful marriage in Islam; when someone meets sexual desire outside marriage such as premarital and extramarital sex, gradually he or she gets bored and doesn't get pleasure, then he or she tends to find new experience and tries new ways to have pleasure, by this way, at a level of this line up, people tends to homosexual activities, which has happened in present western world; thus, it is not genetic, rather than a psychological choice.^[4]^[5] 202.134.13.134 (talk) 23:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saudi Citizen?

This report by the MEMO claims that Naik was granted Saudi citizenship. Following this report, many other news agencies cited it and published similar news, such as Ary News and India Today. Both cited the MEMO report; however, Naik himself denied these reports, stating, “It (news of Saudi citizenship) is false, unless Allah wills. This is how the media even prints gossip as facts.” Given that Naik has denied the report and is currently residing in Malaysia, should we consider removing this information? The MEMO article is brief, lacks an author, and provides little detail on the citizenship claim. Please share your opinions. My opinion is to remove it, as Naik has denied it and is currently in Malaysia. Pining Xoocit who added the Saudi citizenship. GrabUp - Talk 10:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know about the authenticity of MEMO, there is a lot of backnforth for Naik's citizenship claims , he has claimed to be an Indian citizen travelling with the Indian passport but the government of India says that his citizenship and passport were cancelled.

If he is not a Saudi Citizen then then citizenship parameter can be removed. Xoocit (talk) 15:53, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Xoocit: Cancelling citizenship and cancelling a passport are different things. Do you have any source to support that the Indian government cancelled their citizenship? I know Indian laws don’t allow dual citizenship, and if someone obtains new citizenship, their Indian citizenship is automatically cancelled. However, in this case, Naik has not acquired new citizenship. GrabUp - Talk 18:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Xoocit: I have removed the disputed template along with the claim of Saudi citizenship. He is still an Indian citizen, as no reliable sources confirm his citizenship has been revoked. A passport is a travel document, not a certificate of citizenship, and revoking a passport does not automatically revoke citizenship. GrabUp - Talk 09:41, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, this report from TOI is badly titled.

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/zakir-naiks-passport-revoked-hes-now-a-stateless-person/articleshow/59657352.cms Xoocit (talk) 19:37, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That’s why RSN considers TOI to have reliability ranging from unconsensus to generally unreliable. When citing TOI, additional consideration may be applied; personally, I don’t see it as a reliable source. We should also look for reliable sources for these types of factual claims. GrabUp - Talk 19:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I said my bad. Xoocit (talk) 23:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
