Recently, Aina Asif appeared on Good Morning Pakistan along with her co actor Abul Hasan where they promoted drama serial Parwarish. During the show, she sparked a heated discussion by commenting on depression, stating that while Namaz is important, depression is a serious mental health condition that requires professional help from a psychiatrist.
Aina Asif said, “Sometimes, therapists are really mean, your kid will go to seek medical help and they will say, ‘Recite Namaz’—yes, Namaz is important—but what can I do in that moment when I am depressed?” Abul Hassan added, “For a cure, we need a therapist; we can’t rely on Namaz for all our solutions. Allah has given us a mind to think—we should go to a therapist to seek medical help.” Here is the link to the video:
Social media users have expressed significant anger towards Aina Asif and Abul Hasan for discussing religious topics without possessing sufficient knowledge. One user commented, “Now these professional actors and influencers will teach us Islam” Another remarked, “Allah has stated in the Quran: “Seek help through patience and prayer.”A fan noted, “Namaz is undoubtedly the cure for all problems.” Another added, “Namaz is obligatory; why do liberals get offended when encouraged to pray?” One user shared, “For me, Namaz is the ultimate source of peace; it has been a lifelong experience.” Another social media user wrote, “It’s all about our faith and belief. This faith is a blessing from Allah that only a few are fortunate to receive.”
