The Only TV Channel that Uses the Best and Latest Cameras is Peace TV - Dr Zakir Naik
Dr. Zakir Naik discusses Peace TV's use of high-end cameras purchased in 2015, his ambitions to surpass Sheikh Ahmed Deedat's audience reach, and his personal financial earnings from a self-described minimal business schedule of two days per month.
Summary
In this brief clip, Dr. Zakir Naik makes several claims about Peace TV's technological superiority, asserting that it is the only television channel in the world equipped with a particular set of high-end cameras purchased in 2015. He mentions that when he was forced into 'Hijra' (migration/exile), the government confiscated their equipment, but that they subsequently acquired even better cameras. He uses the metaphor of a Rolls Royce to describe his desire for the best quality equipment.
Dr. Naik then reflects on his ambitions relative to the late Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, whose peak live audience reached approximately 12,000 viewers. Naik expresses that he wanted to surpass this figure, and attributes the subsequent growth to Allah, claiming audiences of 50,000, 100,000, and even 1 million live viewers. He repeatedly emphasizes humility, stating that the achievement belongs to Allah rather than himself.
Finally, Dr. Naik shifts to discussing his personal finances, claiming that he conducts business for only two days per month on average, yet earns more than one million dollars per year and over $100,000 per month. He notes that his earnings were previously higher before his Hijra.
