[VIDEOS] Hamza Ali Abbasi has made a comeback to the entertainment industry with a new drama serial Jaan e Jahan

[Abdullah719]

Hamza Ali Abbasi, last month, took to Twitter and shared that soon he will be sharing some personal news with his fans and followers.

Taking to the micro-blogging website, the actor wrote, “A journey of more than a decade comes to an end. I have a very important announcement to make at the end of this month. Will hope my voice reaches many. Will be off social media till the end of October.”

Now, Hamza has shared that news. The actor has decided to bid farewell to his acting career for good. He also shared his journey from atheism to Islam.

In a 23-minute-long video, the Waar star shared that he has decided to leave the entertainment industry to follow the path of Almighty.

“I had this divine intervention some time back, that all that I am doing in this world will end the moment I die,” he shared in the video. “All these trophies, all these accolades will not bring me any good on the Day of Judgment when I meet my Maker. I have decided that I want to leave everything that might be a hurdle when it comes to making my matters easier on the Day of Judgment.”

The actor shared how when he was 14-15, he became an atheist since he could not find answers to who could create such a universe. He shared he had questioned his life. But it was science that made him come back to the religion.

“I thought about it and it came to my understanding that there has to be a Divine power that is controlling all of this,” he added. “That’s how I started reading and then came back to Islam. I found out that there is so much that has to be understood.”

He further added how, contrary to some rumours, he is not joining electoral politics any time soon. “I think in politics, you have to lie a lot to defend your party and your peers. It isn’t something I resonate with. I don’t wish to lie or do something I don’t believe in, so entering politics is not on the cards right now.”

Hamza added that what he really wants to do now is talk about religion and hopes to inspire others as well with his journey.

“My perspective of life has been changed since I realised that I have to meet my God. With this realisation, what I decided to do is that I now wish to talk to people. I wish to spread the message.”

Hamza added that he will now only make videos to share his knowledge about religion. He will also talk about this in various interviews and shared that he will be leaving the entertainment industry indefinitely.

The actor thanked his fans for the undying support and love over the years and further said that he will be making shows and films, even if he won’t act in it.

The actor claimed that his productions will not have any vulgar content, nor will it be obscene. Hamza vowed to use this medium for spreading the message he believes in.

He added his productions will show Pakistan, its culture and Islam in the right light. Hamza also said that he will be quite active on YouTube, on which he will keep on making videos on topics he thinks should be addressed.

[Rana]

Attention seeker on the move again!

 

[HussainRx8]

I like him, largely because he's among the few people whhl dared to take a stand on Ahmedi issue.

That said, how does not acting but producing solve his moral dilemma? I don't get it.

 

[Pakpak]

After milking money from acting and his activities now that he's got enough he's found the religion path.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

After milking money from acting and his activities now that he's got enough he's found the religion path.

To be fair, he's 35 years old. His acting career could easily last 20 year; 30 if he takes good care of his body.


I'm happy for him. Here is the video:

May Allah keep all of us on the path of righteousness, humility and truth

In this age with so much information, still being an atheist is meh

“I had this divine intervention some time back, that all that I am doing in this world will end the moment I die,” he shared in the video. “All these trophies, all these accolades will not bring me any good on the Day of Judgment when I meet my Maker. I have decided that I want to leave everything that might be a hurdle when it comes to making my matters easier on the Day of Judgment.”

Most people know these things already.

Fact is No one can be sure about weights of Perceived Virtues and Vices. An act we presume as a virtue may not weigh as a virtue and vice versa for Vices. Judgement is not a human domain.

All human beings are equal, regardless of their religions. And judgement of one's religion is exclusive to Allah. Till then one's sole responsibility is to be in harmony with every creature of Allah and to resist against any force that attempt to disrupt this harmony. Now obviously everyone finds a different criteria of "disruption of harmony" without ever realising that their criteria itself is offending the cause further. But dynamics should remain simple : You can not hate a creature of Allah. You can dislike one though (not on religious grounds, only on humanitarian grounds) and effort should be directed to pull the disliked ones into premises of liked ones rather than pushing him farther away.

Few hours before "Devine Relevation" , this person was not what he later changed into. Same applies for everyone. You can not judge or predict or refuse to accept the right of one's moment of Devine Revelation. It can arrive on the exact moment when you are bashing him/her.

Its the opposite. You cannot be a theist after seeing the literature of the so called God. These religious divine books are not fit enough to be compared to a 3rd grade text book.

 

[JaDed]

What does religion say about attention seeking?

Also i never understand why cinema is immoral for Muslim actors when they become religious, its not a judgement just that it feels it happens often.

Another example just 3 months ago Zaira wasim..

Sad irrespective he looked amazing in Maula Jatt

Watch the above posted video, he claims he finds nothing wrong with acting per se.

When it comes to acting, Actors have to be in front of opposite sex whom they are not related to. That can play a major part in their decisions.

 

[JaDed]

Watch the above posted video, he claims he finds nothing wrong with acting per se.

Is tara ka kam zaida banta nahi jispe mujhe lage Islam ko aitraaz nahi hai


Not sure what does that say.. if he believes that? Most Pakistani dramas and movies are extremely censored and not provocative at all.

 

[Syed1]

This guy is a massive attention seeker, and I thoroughly dislike his personality

 

[DoosraTeesra]

Religion in Pakistan and many places elsewhere is good business to invest into. You get societal respect and make a lot of money with it too if you become popular.

Look at Tariq Jameel, Big mansion, many mureeds, drives around in Land Cruisers and travels all over the world (especially the west) to give sermons.

 

[PakPremi]

Great job for dedicating his life to Islam. Pak filmindustry need to resist the temptation of spreading vulgarity amongst our youth like other film industries.

Pretty much, he's a natural attention seeker and a massive hypocrite at that.

not a fan of this guy, and didnt watch much of his work. but why people always assumes that if someone change his/her life path he/she is just a hypocrite or attention seeker ? i am not talking about him, i am talking about generally. why people assume and judge others life choices ?

Have to agree with this, I don't know much about Hamza Ali Abbasi but some people do genuinely change their lives. I think we should wait a bit before labelling someone a hypocrite or an attention seeker.

While what you are saying is fair, the reason for judgement is because of the video, the self importance as to why his decision matters, what is weird is he had announced in advance that he would be releasing a video.

This could had been a personal thing, his journey his private life, if he wants to flaunt his enlightenment in public I’m sure it comes with people judging and questioning him.

Because he has spent most of his life criticising item songs, actresses and what not yet himself he had no problem doing anything else. He bashes anyone who's not religious yet was free to date and have 'lovely platonic evening walks' with his woman. Again, no problem, I support his choices but he shouldn't have been the judge when it came to others.

You probably only feel that way because it has to do with religion.

Had it been about any other reason for quitting industry then you probably would have had no issue?

 

[PakLFC]

Don't know why he felt the need to make such a statement about it. Just quit for goodness sake and no one would even notice. It is not as if he's an Amitabh Bachchan or Shahrukh Khan that he is telling the world about departing Lollywood. He'd hardly any film's to his credit.

Doesn't he have freedom to speach? He is actually really popular in Pakistan with dramas such as pyara Afzal and films such as Waar, Maula Jatt and Javani Phir Nahi Ani. So people will notice!

You missed the point. Maula Jatt remains unreleased, the remaining few movies of his are to few for him to think he'll be missed. Just retire quietly instead of justifying yourself thereby boring people to death with a tedious video.

Yeah, i am not buying this whole facade. Didnt he just marry a super model, Naimal Khawar recently? Is the super model going to stop modelling, acting too and stop her instagram lives or is it going to be the same way?

I am sure if he was to turn molvi he would go for a rather conservative biwi instead of the best pick of the lot.

He is going to live off YouTube money now. He has already setup a channel.

He has slept with half of Islamabad but now he is suddenly “enlightened” after marrying Naimal Khawar.

Hamza Ali Abbasi has always had a fetish to speak, to share his opinion with everyone even if unwanted

Have heard the second part from a colleague of mine as well, apparently he had a special apartment in collab with the Jaswals in Centaraus for this particular activity.

Thing is that even if he has turned a new leaf, its fine. But his actions dont reflect what he is saying such as marrying a super model, making a youtube channel etc.

Haven't seen her wearing anything indecent in public to be honest. Seems like a nice girl with a personality and a self awareness of where her roots are.

Buddy, i am not delusional. I have personally no issue with acting and modelling but your and mine elders consider it an unethical profession.

 

[IAJ]

The same nobodies in this thread thinking they are better than rest and keep repeating same stuff; Attention seeker, hypocrite bla bla.

If you watch his video he clearly says he has sinned in past and he is starting with rectifying himself. So all your arguments are already floored. It is up to Allah to judge him and it is also Allah who guides people so now it is probably his turn. May Allah SWT help him on this journey.

 

[Salma_T]

After milking money from acting and his activities now that he's got enough he's found the religion path.

He isn't an actor who has done a lot of work to be fair! A handful.of movies and handful of dramas.

 

[Salma_T]

“I had this divine intervention some time back, that all that I am doing in this world will end the moment I die,” he shared in the video. “All these trophies, all these accolades will not bring me any good on the Day of Judgment when I meet my Maker.

Many of you obvioulsy don't know much his Naimal, she is first and foremost an artist who has done 1 movie and one drama and not a model. Why is there so much hate here on here for someone's choice?

 

[kk1992]

Buddy, i am not delusional. I have personally no issue with acting and modelling but your and mine elders consider it an unethical profession.

Mine do not consider it unethical.

 

[saeedhk]

Pakistani celebrities are a special breed. They appear in item songs, maintain extramarital relationships and do intimate scenes on TV but they also wear a cloak of self-righteousness and religiosity.

A recent example is Rabi Pirzada. When the #metoo movement hit Pakistan and a number of Pakistani women came forward with allegations of sexual harassment, Pirzada said they were do it for the sake of publicity and there is no harassment in Pakistan. Now, when Pirzada’s private photos were released, the same women came forward to support her.

She did not stop here. She also went to Twitter and berated and cursed Ahmedis and called them the worst people. ASWJ replied and lauded her stance. Then, karma caught up with her.

Coming back to Abbasi, he has been appearing on TV and saying item songs are ruining Pakistan and that they should be stopped. But, he starred in so many of them. Recently, he praised an actress on live TV because she never appeared in item songs. A confused individual.

 

[saadibaba]

This guy is a massive attention seeker, and I thoroughly dislike his personality

Wow, we finally agree on something!

 

[saadibaba]

Actually thinking is what makes one an atheist. The realization of ones mortality and the uselessness of all of these rituals is what turns most people into atheists or agnostics. Its strange that it had the opposite effect on him.

 

[Mamoon]

The problem with “rectifying yourself” is that it tends to happen at a very convenient time. Where was this realization before entering showbiz or during his first few years when he was doing vulgar shots? Where was this realization when he was sleeping around in Islamabad?

After earning a fortune and doing vices to his heart’s content, he has suddenly received and is no devoting himself to deen after enjoying the dunya to the max.

Similarly, let’s consider Junaid Jamshed. He was also “enlightened” around 2003-2004 when Vital Signs were long gone and his solo career had started to fade, and he conveniently made the switch to naats.

Where was his love for Allah SWT and his deen when Vital Signs were at the top?

I am not suggesting that the likes of Hamza and Junaid are not genuine. However, I find it interesting that these celebrities always seem to make the switch when it is most convenient.

 

[Itachi]

I am failing to grasp the social structure of Pakistan. Is it Conservative or is it Liberal?

People criticise for modelling/acting yet, I have seen those people watching their movies too. In YouTube, in the Pakistani videos, especially in metros, I haven't seen the dresses of the girls much different than that of India.

In rural aspect, I believe it won't be that different because rural India also has some restrictions on attire.

Is Islamic code (I apologise if I am not using the proper term for it as I am not knowledgeable in this matter) strictly followed in Pakistan or not?

Pakistan has a very complicated social structure, and some would say we suffer from identity crisis.

Pakistan’s ideological foundation was built on a Muslim homeland, but M. Jinnah was an anglophile who had no Muslim values, and thus Pakistan was established as a secular state.

However, soon after his death, the military dictators took over and destroyed the country in multiple ways. They propagated religious extremism to strengthen their rule, and since then Pakistan has been confused over its identity.

We play the Islamic republic card when it is convenient and we also preach liberalism and secularism when it suits us.

Socially Conservative but Economically Liberal (Classical Liberalism).

I usually don’t like using the Liberal-Conservative spectrum since they’re very vague and you can be a liberal and right-wing at the same time but this is the best explanation of Pakistani society.

Also, it varies from place to place. In Punjabi Villages, some Hindu customes are still common amongst Punjabi Muslims whereas the cities and urban areas are more Islamized. Pakistan is not a homogenous nation and is very diverse. Everyone is slightly different, there is no single unifying identity even though there has been many attempts by the establishment to foster a single unifying Pakistani identity.

I don’t live in Pakistan but I’ve an idea of how the country functions (Punjab and Islamabad) since I’ve been there a lot.

 

[Slim]

Mine do not consider it unethical.

Parents in Pakistan, majorly, consider entertainment industry as unethical because it was rife with prostitution, casting couch culture etc. However, what pains parents as well is that they are against women showing skin, or interacting physically with the other gender on national television.

This might come of as weird but is true. [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], spare some thoughts on this dichotomy?

He is clueless as usual.

The vast majority of the families do not encourage their children to get into showbiz because it is not considered a respectful profession. It is the usual “log kya kahenge” stuff.

Even most of the actors who made it were discouraged by their families initially. Basically if you are not from a showbiz family, it is extremely unlikely that your parents and family will be happy with your career choice.

That is how our society and culture is. Anyone who denies is obviously clueless and has spent very little time living in Pakistan.

But there's a difference between log kya kahenge and judgement of one's own.

You may not against something yet you may forbade because of society. In this case, the person isn't Conservative inside but in order to avoid conflicts, he or she will go in the conservative way.

Many of these parents, perhaps may not see it as unethical but due to incoming criticism by neighbours and family members, they choose to forbid it?

I have seen many people in life turn to religion after sinning and enjoying their youth when they enter their mid 30's and early 40's. Lol, people definately start worrying about their old age, after life and ofcourse this is also the problem when you start developing health issues.

"Turn to religion ", unless you get guidance from the almighty there's no turning no where, judgemental is a trait of people with the real issues

He isn't an actor who has done a lot of work to be fair! A handful.of movies and handful of dramas.

A lot of Pakistani film stars and singers have their careers shortened and diminished because of the boycott from the Indian industry
That might be why is filmography is as minuscule as it is
Although he’s much more famous for his off screen comments than anything he’s done on screen

I suppose repenting and getting enlightened at a convenient time is also a blessing from the Almighty.

You get to enjoy all the worldly pleasures to the max and also get the opportunity to take care of your afterlife. The best of both words really.

 

[Slog]

These realizations always happen at convenient times

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I am actually surprised there is quite a healthy acting industry in Pakistan given the incompatability with strictly religious Islamic countries, and as an Islamic republic which carries that status quite proudly, you would have to describe Pakistan as one of those.

It wouldn't be such a big deal if religion wasn't a major part of the identity of the country.

 

[mgtow]

No one is stopping you.

Two groups of sinners are taken to hereafter. One group is rewarded while other group is being punished. The crimes are same. Yet one group is in heaven while other is in hell. Why? Repentance.

Repentance is available for everyone and that includes you as well. Who are we to get involved which is strictly between subjects and ALLAH. We should mind our business and worry about our affairs.

Repentance is available for everyone and that includes you as well. Who are we to get involved which is strictly between subjects and ALLAH. We should mind our business and worry about our affairs.

Yet for some reason, repentance only happens when it is convenient. I wonder why it isn’t available when you haven’t had enough of the worldly pleasures.

As I said, it is probably a blessing because you get the best of both worlds. Imagine if Junaid Jamshed would have repented after the astronomical success of Vital Signs 1 in 1989.

He would have missed out on a decade long stardom and the perks of being a pop-star. No girls, no parties. Nothing.

Repenting when he was around 40 with a rapidly evaporating musical career was certainly a much better deal for him.

Similarly, Hamza Abbasi repenting in the 2000s or early 2010s when he was a theatre actor would have been inconvenient.

He would have missed out on the opportunity of sleeping around in Islamabad, partaking in wild parties and marrying Naimal Khawar.

Now that he is 35 and slowly transitioning out of his youth - and has married a star - he can grow a 3 ft beard, roll up his pants and sit cross-legged in Raiwind, preaching the ills of the entertainment industry.

35 is no age to be retiring as an actor to be fair. You are just coming into your prime at that stage of your life. He should have waited until he hit 50 at least. Just look at Bollwood stars, and Hollywood for that matter, most of them are still trying to play hero roles well into their 50's.

In Pakistan being an entertainment personality with a religious touch has its own huge market and he will likely cater to that now

He's not retiring as an actor though.

Mamoon was talking about the reason for him donning the religious garb was because he was transitioning out of youth, I was just pointing out that 35 is not really old by actor standards, he could have waited another 15 years.

That said, if religion is a selling point in Pakistan, then all of us who live in market driven capitalist countries should understand that angle as well. This is how the world works whether purists like it or not.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

Don't think he is person who would have worked in India so not an issue for him. He was very selective it seems no fan of his but seems people like to bash celebs for everything. If he came out atheist these same people would be knocking him!

Maybe it’s because he wasn’t considered as a bad egg ever compared to Junaid jamshed or veena malik

 

[DeadBall]

Repenting when he was around 40 with a rapidly evaporating musical career was certainly a much better deal for him.

He also charged thousands of dollars to give sermons, sing naats or attend religious ceremonies home and abroad. His turn to Deen also helped make his J. brand a huge success so not that bad of a deal after all.

It may seem like opportunistic but those who are born Muslims are not necessarily same as those who are guided to ALLAH through spirituality process because those who became Muslims intended to practice purest sense of Sunnah are guided through the research, life struggle and curiosity.

As for born Muslims, we are taught that materialistic worlds offer values and practical needs down to our throats. That is the case with majority. Plus we have on-off buttons. We tend to be on off-mode when we are drawn to materialism not seeing the benefits of spirituality especially since one happen to be celebrity which deals directly with temptations to say the least.

I woke up in terms of spirituality after I went through depression and guided me back to Islam after experiencing atheism for the time being. Similarity, he woke up just the same. That is ALLAH opening our eyes which has been hidden through the third eye that allows us to experience spirituality. Ultimately at the end ALLAH does what ALLAH wants with its subjects.

Only different is that I am not celebrity whereas he is and we are on same wavelength. If I was celebrity with off-mode, I would have done the same - living luxurious life at given opportunity. But I had nothing so easy for me to transition into spirituality while he had everything and giving up everything to come back to ALLAH through spirituality and beyond.

Even at that age with temptations, people will take fully use of opportunity till the death. People who are old still do the same. Only different is that his off-mode is now on at the prime age giving up everything which people will kill for.

Even if people repent at the old age, it is still not hypocrite because some takes forever to wake up and some wake up early. It is case with diseases. Not everyone have same disease would react to the same way. Similarity, that is the way with people. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) got first revelation at the age of 40 and many companions of his (R.A) submitted Islam were also middle aged. It is peak time where people are going through the transition period.


At the end, People with nothing to lose find it easier to transition into spirituality than people with everything to loss. So hypocrisy is out of question here.

Religion is also a business if you know how to run it.

Hamza Ali Abbasi has made a comeback to the entertainment industry with a new drama serial Jaan e Jahan opposite Ayeza Khan.

I watched the first episode of the drama. It doesn't seem promising because Hamza is reprising the same roles he has done in previous dramas.
