Watch: From Preaching to Plunging: Dr Naik Goes Sky-High
Renowned Islamic scholar Dr Zakir Naik has surprised his followers once again, not with a sermon, but with a sky-high leap during his ongoing visit to Indonesia.
While visiting Bali, the 59-year-old founder of Peace TV took a plunge from a 430-foot-high platform in a daring bungee jump, showcasing a thrill-seeking side that few associate with the scholar. The stunt, performed off a coastal cliff, was part of a series of adventurous activities that included cliff diving and wild water sliding.
Photos and videos of the jump, shared on his official social media pages, quickly went viral. Supporters praised the act as a bold blend of physical courage and spiritual confidence. Many described his actions as a motivation to embrace life with both discipline and daring.

This is not the first time Dr Naik has ventured into extreme sports. In 2024, he made headlines in Uganda after a 165-foot bungee jump. His latest jump in Bali took that feat to new heights — almost three times higher.
The timing of his adrenaline-fueled exploits has also sparked conversation. As political tension and instability continue to dominate headlines in Pakistan — with rallies being called off and public unrest rising — Dr Naik has captured attention in a very different way: flying high above the chaos, quite literally.
