Naik says that his goal is to “concentrate on the educated Muslim youth who have become apologetic about their own religion and have started to feel the religion is outdated”. He considers it a duty of every Muslim to remove perceived misconceptions about Islam and to counter what he views as the Western media’s anti-Islamic bias in the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 attacks in the United States.

He received his Bachelor of Surgery and Medicine from the University of Mumbai.

Some of his extreme views, like advocating the death penalty against homosexuals, have drawn heavy criticism.

Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen described Naik as “dangerous” because he “promotes 7th century Quranic texts on sex slaves, polygamy and wife beating in 21st century”. She said in a series of tweets that, “I listened to Zakir Naik’s speeches. He cites Quranic texts and tries to justify. He’s dangerous because it’s dangerous to spread 7th century texts in the 21st century”.

In 2004 Naik, at the invitation of the Islamic Information and Services Network of Australasia, made an appearance at the University of Melbourne, where he argued that only Islam gave women true equality. He said the more “revealing Western dress” makes women more susceptible to rape. Sushi Das of The Age commented that “Naik extolled the moral and spiritual superiority of Islam and lampooned other faiths and the West in general”, further stating that Naik’s words “fostered a spirit of separateness and reinforced prejudice”.

In The Wall Street Journal, Sadanand Dhume criticised Naik for recommending the death penalty for homosexuals and for apostasy from the faith. He also criticised him for calling for India to be ruled by Shariah law. He added that, according to Naik, Jews “control America” and are the “strongest in enmity to Muslims.” He maintained that Naik supports a ban on the construction of non-Muslim places of worship in Muslim lands as well as the Taliban’s bombing of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. Dhume argues that people reportedly drawn to Naik’s message include Najibullah Zazi, the Afghan-American arrested for planning suicide attacks on the New York subway; Rahil Sheikh, accused of involvement in a series of train bombings in Mumbai in 2006; and Kafeel Ahmed, the Bangalore man fatally injured in a failed suicide attack on Glasgow airport in 2007. He also stated that “unless Indians find the ability to criticise such a radical Islamic preacher as robustly as they would a Hindu equivalent, the ideal of Indian secularism would remain deeply flawed.”

Saleem Kidwai, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Wales, stated that “people who know about him [Naik] know that he is one of the most uncontroversial persons you could find.
