Dr Zakir Naik, a globally known Islamic scholar, recently took part in a 430-foot bungee jump during his visit to Indonesia. The moment was captured and shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, surprising many of his followers.
The Zakir Naik bungee jump Bali video shows the 59-year-old preacher leaping off a high platform near a beach in Bali, fully strapped to a safety harness. This activity was part of a series of adventure sports he enjoyed during his trip, which also included cliff jumping and water sliding.
Dr Naik is widely recognized for his lectures on Islam and interfaith dialogue. His adventurous activities during this trip show a different side of the scholar, one that embraces physical challenges and outdoor excitement.
This is not the first time he has taken part in extreme sports. In 2023, Dr Naik performed a 165-foot bungee jump while visiting Uganda, showing his growing interest in adventure tourism.
Dr Naik’s recent travel to Indonesia follows his visit to Pakistan last year, where he received a warm welcome. During that visit, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in Islamic Studies by the University of Karachi. The ceremony was held at the Sindh Governor’s House, with top academic and government officials in attendance.
The honorary degree was presented by Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, who praised Dr Naik’s contributions to Islamic preaching. During his stay in Pakistan, Dr Naik also spoke at public gatherings in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
The video of the Zakir Naik bungee jump Bali has sparked conversation across social media, especially in Pakistan and India, with many expressing surprise and admiration for the preacher’s daring act.
