Due to his great popularity among the Muslims of Albania, but also with other Albanians, he became known nationally and is regularly invited onto Albanian talk shows.

In 2019, Naçi was named Man of the Year by several Albanian magazines.

Naçi is a progressive Muslim and is a harsh critic of radical Islam in Albania. He accused the Albanian government of doing too little about radical imams. As a result, his mosque has had to engage a security service.
