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.
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.

He's really a good man with superb knowledge.

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.
Great Speaker backed by an excellent team who have done an excellent job in uploading his lectures, particularly on YouTube. The way they relate the videos to give proofs of what Sheikh says is commendable.

Apart from it, the way he delivers his lectures will definitely give you goosebumps. Your Emaan will be refreshed. Wallaho Alam. Jazak Allah.
Allah bless him, because he is a real Ahl al-Hadith, not like other half-educated Ahl al-Hadith.
Everybody, do you know what he said? He said, "Despite disagreement of any opinion, the unity of the four Imams is perfect for Taqlid."
I know it's indicative of his deep knowledge.

The Newcomers
He challenged most Gair Mukallid scholars like Jarjis and Tauseef, who are the puppets of the Saud family on their payroll. He openly challenged them with a debate on who is lying and deceiving Muslims. He proved that these two so-called scholars twist and fabricate the Quran and Hadith to their desires.
Farooq Khan Razvi also answered their Shirk labels by quoting the Quran, Hadith, and from the works of their own scholars whom they go against. They have simply sold their religion. If they were on the truth, they would have debated a long time ago.
One of the best Islamic scholars, Masha'Allah.
Must listen to his lectures.
Shaykh Talib ur-Rahman is a public speaker. His expertise is in Quran and Hadith, Ahl al-Hadith.
Dr. Talib ur-Rahman is an awesome speaker. Whenever I watch or listen to his debates, he effectively addresses the arguments of both the Hanafies and the Rawafidh.
I love Sheikh Talib ur-Rehman. He is really the great scholar of Mowahidin.
Without any doubt, he stands at the top position in the translation and commentary of the Quran. Others like Zakir Naik and Ahmed Deedat (R.A) stand nowhere near him.
A prominent scholar of Islam with vast knowledge.
He was a mujahid, and no one has the caliber to compete with him in this age. May Allah bless him.
A very good teacher showing the right path to women and kids. May Allah help her to open her school in every city of her country, at least.

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.
One of the great orators of Islam. He was awarded the prestigious King Faisal International Prize in 1986 for his 50 years of missionary work.

Authentic, upon the Way of Companions. May Allah bless him and preserve him, amen.
He is an excellent teacher who instructs us about Islam, like Tauheed, Aqeedah, Shirk, etc.
Sectarian hate mongers don't like him because he hits them where it hurts the most. The criterion is clear: who wants to unite the Muslims under one banner and who is deepening the ever-growing division between different sects? This guy should have been somewhere near the top, not at number 38.
No words for this person. He dedicated his whole life to bringing unity among Muslims. He had an ocean of knowledge!
One of the finest scholars of Islam. Whatever he preaches is based on the Quran and authentic hadith. Alhamdulillah.
Representing with fun is one of his best qualities.
