Dr. Zakir Naik
Dr. Zakir Naik explains things logically and uses references from holy scriptures as a comparative religion student. The scriptures, especially the Holy Quran, talk about the truth overcoming falsehood. When this is explained to the public, they get upset because it is human nature, since the beginning of mankind, not to accept the truth.
That is why all the prophets of the world were rejected, except Prophet Younus PBUH. It's a fact.
His memory is incredible, like a computer. Some people are looking for his mistakes. Nobody's perfect, but he is one of the best Islamic scholars. Allah indeed increases the degrees of the scholars and blesses them all with very good memory to spread the truth.

Muhammad Jarjis
Assalamualaikum. Maulana Jarjis is a very good public speaker, and I think he is a fearless man while giving speeches in public. That is his best quality. His flow of speech, the loudness, and the clarity of each word he says make it very easy to understand. It is great to listen to his speeches and to act on them.
Yesterday, he gave a speech in Sarkhej Masjid, Ahmedabad. I was very close to Jarjis, just in front of him with a maximum gap of 5 feet between us, and it's my pleasure.
Maulana Jarjis is a public speaker. He has a strong grasp of the Quran and Hadith, Ahl al-Hadith.

Advocate Faiz Syed
He's really an awesome man! Most of the speakers speak in English, which many Indians don't understand. In India, people are really uneducated about Islam. He is not hesitant in speaking the truth and covers all the topics. He speaks in Urdu, which is understandable by almost all Indian Muslims.
May Allah bless him.
I look at this Brother as a God-sent medium of knowledge for me. My life has significantly changed through the correct understanding of Islam by watching around 83 videos delivered by Faiz Syed. Listening to him was like reading many books, as I can't read Urdu. InshaAllah, he continues to be a medium of Hidayah and stays consistent in his work in spite of the fame.

Sheikh Abu Zaid Zameer
While I respect all the Ahl ul Hadith Scholars, I don't understand why you guys are not giving enough importance to Shaikh Abu Zaid Zameer, who undoubtedly is one of the best among top-rank scholars of the world. Please don't try to be ignorant of him, even if you don't admit he's number one, me and millions of others love him and give him the great respect he deserves, mashaa Allah.

Zubair Ali Zai
He is undoubtedly the best scholar of this generation, the Muhaddith of Pakistan. However, only the true seekers of knowledge, perusing books, unlike those whose source of knowledge is mere videos of public speakers, know the profundity of his knowledge. There is a high probability that those who detest him are either innovators or ignorant or arrogant.
Very knowledgeable. No other person I know of in our time is as knowledgeable as he is.
I miss him the most. May Allah grant him the best of Jannah. May Allah make me meet him in paradise. Ameen.
