The video headline is- “ دخول 4 أشخاص في الإسلام فور انتهاء محاضرة ذاكر نايك في كتارا”. The entry of 4 people into Islam immediately after the end of the lecture of Zakir Naik in Katara. (English Translation)

The video stated: International Islamic Preacher Dr.  Zakir Naik inspired four more people To embrace Islam. Four persons, including an Indian Hindu and a woman, converted to Islam after Zakir Naik’s lecture series in Malaysia. During a question and answer session after Zakir’s two lectures, the four people recited the Shahadah (declaration of faith at  the stroke of midnight.

Dr. Zakir Naik is a controversial Wahhabi preacher who faces charges of money laundering and hate speeches in India.

Conclusion:

It is clear from the fact check of DFRAC that the viral video is 6 years old of Dr. Zakir Naik’s lecture series in Malaysia, not Qatar. Therefore, the claim made by social media users is misleading.

Claim Reviewed: 4 People took Shahada at the hands of Dr. Zakir Naik in FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
