Dr. Affan Qaiser is quite a famous Pakistani doctor and a digital creator known for his rants against digital influencers, wrong social practices and media celebrities. He has successfully built a strong presence on digital and social platforms, where his opinions are widely followed.
Recently, Dr Affan Qaiser made a video in Atif Aslam’s favour after he faced severe public backlash for doing a concert next day of his father’s passing.
Talking about it, Dr Affan Qaiser said, “Atif Aslam proved what is the value of a professional commitment. His father passed away a day before 14 August but he fulfilled his concert commitment. This agreement was done four months ago. Yesterday, I visited a medical centre where more than half of the staff was absent for 14 August, this happens by many of us we take off without informing our workplaces but he was fulfilling his commitments, it was his professionalism. Those criticizing him are being unjust. He was just doing his duty. This is the commitment of Atif Aslam that he is hiding is grief inside but singing. This is not the first example, Shakeel Siddiqui did the same. We all should learn from Atif Aslam”
Social media users are criticizing Dr Affan Qaiser for defending Atif Aslam for fulfilling the commitment that goes against Islam. One wrote, “What if a person himself meets an accident, would he still need to fulfil his commitments, what if someone dies, would he still come and perform? What will happen to commitment then?” Another wrote, “Which commitment was more important than Hadees which says, ‘You have to observe grief for three days’ and he went for a professional commitment (singing) that is against Islam ” One fan wrote, “Dr Affan, I am your great fan, you always talk sense but today you proved yourself a fool”. Another stated, “If the sons die, the fathers leave all their commitments, it is all about priorities” Read the comments:
