Hamza embarked on his own journey of studying Islam and he has since been sharing his thoughts on what he has learnt from his own studies and lectures. The actor spoke to Ahmad Fozan and he had to share his opinion on why he decided to officiate his friend’s Nikkah and why he speaks about religion when he is an actor.
Hamza Ali Abbasi recently officiated a Nikkah and the video went viral on social media.
Here is the video of Hamza Ali Abbasi solemnising a Nikkah:
The actor said that officiating a Nikkah or reciting a janaza is something very basic and all Muslims can do it. He revealed that he had a religious scholar there who was keeping an eye on him so that he did it in the right manner. And we should all learn how to do it.
The actor also spoke about the criticism he gets on speaking about religion when he is just an actor. Hamza Ali Abbasi is often criticized for sharing religious knowledge when he is in the field of acting. Hamza Ali Abbasi said that he follows Ghamdi school of thought and he feels that he is not doing anything wrong with acting either. He works inside moral bounaries. He did something which was not very moral before his Islamic journey began but now he works well and does not repeat any of his mistakes after 2017. He further added that he speaks what he has learnt from scholars. He is not quoting any of his own knowledge. If he did that, it would be wrong. As a Muslim, he is sharing what he has learnt after studying Quran and taking lectures from scholars. And no one can stop a Muslim from speaking about his religion.
