Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza is a famous Pakistani Islamic scholar who has a comprehensive knowledge about Islam. His speeches are loved by a large number of Muslims. Lately, He appeared in Nadir Ali’s podcast where he talked about the day of judgment in detail. He particularly talked about the arrival of Dajjal, Yajooj and Majooj and the day of Qayamat.
Replying to the question about the signs of Qayamah (Day of Judgment) and arrival of Dajjal, he said, “the biggest sign of the day of judgment was the arrival of Hazrat Muhammad SallAllaho Allaihe Wa’aaleyhi Wassalam in this world”. He further added, “The news about Ghazwa E Hind, happening soon is not true. Ghazwa E Hind will only occur near the Qayamah, when Muslims will have a fight in Hind, then it will be announced that Dajjal has arrived”. He also refuted that there is no sign of Ghazwa E Hind happening in Pakistan, there are a lot of rumours, only Allah has the knowledge”.
Talking about Yajooj Majooj, he said, “We can’t say anything other than the Quran and Sunnah. We can only state the facts which are told by Allah. About Yajooj and Majooj, Allah has already informed in the Quran that ‘Allah will make them appear when he wants them to appear. These are Allah’s secrets and we should not talk about these things unnecessarily”.
Talking about, “will technology end near the day of judgment?, he said, “It can be true, it can be false, these are mere assumptions of people. These things are only said by those who don’t have any information or knowledge regarding science. We can’t give such verdicts on our behalf. He also interpreted and explained the Hadees and Quranic verses related to the day of judgment in the light of technology.
Here is what he said about the day of judgment in detail:

It is Allah who sends messages to those people. It has to do with Allah”
Pakistani dramas are what they are today not just because of the leading stars which fans are always raving about. The supporting cast and actors also make the most important addition to these stories and add in all the drama and masala that ultimately entertains the audience. One such actress is Erum Akhtar. She is now a senior player in the industry and she has done diverse characters on screen. She has featured in countless dramas including Dil Mom Ka Diya, Siyani, Fareb and Umeed to name a few. The actress is going through the toughest situation of her life as she lost her mother.
Mothers are the ultimate pillars of strength who keep us going in life and where we can go in the time of pain, insecurity and when we think nothing is possible. Losing your mother leaves a void in your life that cannot be filled ever. Erum Akhtar took to Instagram and shared the sad news with her fans.
May Allah bless the deceased and grant the family sabar. Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Illahi Rajioon. Erum’s emotional words after losing her mom will bring tears to anyone’s eyes. Here is what she said:
Iqra Aziz is one of the top actresses of the Pakistani drama industry right now. She is doing great and all her dramas have been hit. She is also known for her versatility and she shined in dramas like Ranjha ranjha Kardi, Raqeeb Se, Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3 and Suno Chanda. She is married to actor and director Yasir Hussain and the couple has a son Kabir. Iqra is riding high on success and her position in the industry is acknowledged.
She was a guest on Mazaaq Raat where a fan asked her if she remembers the lines from her first ever audition. She shared that she gave her first audition when she was 14 for a TVC and later on her audition for the drama did not go too well. Iqra shared that she gets nervous in auditions and she does not do well at the audition stage.
Iqra further revealed that an actress who is also her friend actually beat her at the first audition and that was none other than Hina Altaf. Hina is also successful in her career now and Iqra also managed to become a star.
Pakistan is not known to make many stars and we have very limited fields where we actually make big names. Cricket is one of those and if you are a good player, you will become the apple of the nation’s eye. Shahid Afridi is one such player who had a long career and despite failures in different departments, he knew how to entertain the audience. He is now retired and his son-in-law Shaheen Afridi is a star. He is one of the best fast bowlers in the world cricket right now and he is doing an amzaing job.
The young star is Nikahfied to Shahid Afridi’s daugter Ansha Afridi. Their Nikkah pictures went viral and people have been waiting for the couple’s main wedding event. The star bowler has just returned after playing Asia Cup and now he is tying the knot to Ansha Afridi.
The couple’s mehendi was held last night and according to the wedding invititations, the couple’s rukhsati will take place today:
Here are some moments from Shaheen Afridi’s wedding festivities:
Ranjha Ranjha Kardi is a drama that can be counted among the modern classic dramas. The Kashif Nisar directorial brought Imran Ashraf in the league of lead actors and he has not looked back since. It was his role as Bhola and his chemistry with Iqra Aziz’s fierce Noori that brought the viewers to the screens and they fell in love with those two.
The duo has since not worked together but fans want to see them on screen again. Imran Ashraf has started hosting his own show now as he is the new face of Mazaaq Raat and Iqra Aziz came there as a guest. The duo took that opportunity and brought back the Noori-Bhola magic to our screens.
Imran Ashraf performed the character Bhola while Iqra joined in as the fierce Noori. This is one lead couple fans are dying for to appear together again though nothing has materialized yet.
Here is Imran Ashraf as Bhola and Iqra Aziz as Noori as they recreate Ranjha Ranjha Kardi magic on the sets of Mazaaq Raat:

Fans are saying that she is overacting in this scene to make it intense. Fans also trolled the copied dialogue of Shahrukh Khan in the scene. They said that Aina is also trying to copy Shahrukh Khan here. The most irritating thing about the viral scene, according to the fans, was the wrong pronunciation of the actors, especially when they spoke the words starting with urdu alphabet “خ”, both Aina and Samar pronounced it as “کھ”. In the scene, Aina was pronouncing “فاخر” as “فاکھر ” and Fakhir was pronouncing “Khud” as “کُھد”.

After tuning into Jannat Se Aagay initially when it went on air and not warming up to it, I decided to revisit this drama now that it has been on air for 12 weeks. I must say that Jannat Se Aagay has pleasantly surprised me with its intriguing and unexpected plot developments. As the story progressed, the true purpose and meaning of the drama has been unveiled. The unexpected twists and turns have not only piqued my interest but also added depth and complexity to the storyline.
Core Concept & Themes
The core concept of the drama serial “Jannat Se Aagay” and some of its characters did come across as familiar in the beginning but the unique dynamics these characters share are brand new. The drama so far explores themes such as love, betrayal, ambition, and unmet desires. The writer has handled all these themes intelligently and realistically. It is interesting how the writer has shown “ambition” as both a driving force and a potential source of conflict. Materialism lies at the heart of the narrative; it is a fundamental driving force that significantly shapes the course of both Jannat and Tabbasum’s lives.
The concept of “jannat” in the story is a symbol of an ideal or an unattainable state of being. Tabbasum and Jannat have been presented as personifications of humanity’s relentless quest for perfection. Both these characters have an entirely different approach to achieving this elusive goal. Tabbasum takes Farooq’s unconditional love for granted because she is preoccupied with external markers of success and happiness, such as wealth, possessions, and social status. Tabbasum’s relentless pursuit of materialistic gains is gradually intensifying blurring the line between right and wrong. Through these changes in Tabbasum’s priorities and attitude, the writer has shown what happens when the pursuit of material gains clashes with ethical considerations.
On the other hand, Jannat yearns for the kind of emotional connection and love that Tabbasum overlooks. Jannat recognizes the significance of Farooq’s unconditional love because she is deprived of it. This contrast highlights the themes of the story, such as the true sources of happiness and fulfillment. By showing these dynamics the writer has raised questions about the nature of success and the trade-offs individuals make in their pursuit of happiness.
Another important element of the story revolves around the notion that appearances can be deceptive, both in terms of objects and individuals. This theme shows the stark contrast between Jannat’s public image and her private life, as well as through Tabbasum’s track, which centers on the misconception that material wealth can guarantee happiness. On the surface, Jannat may appear to be the embodiment of success and happiness, with her glamorous public image, wealth, and fame. However, beneath this carefully crafted facade, lies a more complex and vulnerable individual struggling with personal demons.
Tabbasum & Jannat’s Inner Conflicts
The conflicting elements in both these main characters make them more appealing and wholesome. The viewers do not know much about Jannat’s backstory so far except for the fact that she worked hard to attain this financial status. Despite Jannat’s deep-seated yearning for authentic human connections and her discontentment regarding the emotional toll of her current lifestyle, being a status symbol is important to her. It is as if she is trapped in a web of societal expectations and the pressure to maintain a certain image. So far, this aspect of her personality continues to shape her choices and actions, even when they conflict with her innermost desires. This internal conflict has to be the most compelling element of her character development. This character and its journey is a nuanced portrayal of someone torn between the pursuit of societal validation and the pursuit of heartfelt connections.
In the beginning, Tabbasum’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding Jannat ji’s well-being and her protective instinct towards her ‘ideal’ seemed authentic without a doubt. However interestingly enough, beneath this apparent dedication is another side of her personality, one that quietly whispers that she is also entitled to the rewards that Jannat possesses. This internal conflict within Tabbasum makes this character more enigmatic and difficult to predict. This element of her personality sets her apart from the stereotypical depiction of other materialistic leading female character often shown in Pakistani dramas. Also, this duality in her characters leads to moments of tension and ambiguity in the storyline, making her character more relatable. Viewers are often left wondering which aspect of Tabbasum will prevail in any given situation, adding depth and intrigue to her portrayal.
Jannat & Nauman
It would be safe to say that Jannat and Tabbasum take center stage in the narrative. However, both the male leads play an important role in shaping their tracks. Nauman feels that his wife has placed her work and social status above their relationship, leaving him feeling belittled and neglected. After continued failed attempts to share his feelings with his wife, Nauman uses this as an excuse for having an affair. He is an unsupportive husband who harbors jealousy and resentment towards his wife’s rising fame and success. Jannat has definitely contributed to this but she has done so unconsciously. Knowing how their relationship evolved and what their priorities were in the past would provide much-needed context. This context could reveal whether their relationship was different before fame and money came into play.
One notable aspect of Nauman’s character is his seemingly contradictory behavior. On one hand, he resents Jannat’s fame and the attention she receives, but on the other hand, he has no problem enjoying the luxuries and comforts that her success brings. There is a clear lack of communication between Jannat and Nauman. Nauman blames Jannat for this as well. Jannat is willing to work on this marriage but the lack of healthy communication between them makes it impossible to have a decent conversation with her husband. Also, the fact is that Jannat is too caught up in her own world and has actually made Nauman feel unneeded multiple times, subconsciously. This creates a frustrating loop, where her attempts to bridge the gap are met with resistance or frustration from Nauman, further worsening the problem. Nauman’s infidelity has made matters worse and it seems as if this relationship cannot be rescued.
The uneven distribution of domestic responsibilities has also been obvious throughout these episodes. It not only places a considerable strain on Jannat, who constantly juggles the demands of her career with those of managing their home, but it also raises questions about Nauman’s commitment to sharing the responsibilities.
Tabbasum & Farooq
Farooq’s character bears a striking resemblance to Faraz from “Wabaal” in terms of his unwavering love for Tabbasum and his naivety. His affection for Tabbasum knows no bounds, and it serves as the cornerstone of his existence. Just like Faraz from Wabaal, Farooq demonstrates a remarkable capacity to overlook and dismiss all the warning signs and potential pitfalls. His sole objective is to maintain a harmonious and amicable connection with Tabbasum, even if it means turning a blind eye to many of the conflicting interests. Farooq’s strategy will ultimately lead to more significant challenges down the road.
It is obvious that Tabbasum holds a dominant position in this relationship. She also takes Farooq’s unwavering love and commitment for granted. She has grown so used to the sheltered and unreserved affection he provides that she does not fully grasp the value it holds. This lack of awareness coupled with her changing ideals has led to certain complacency, where Tabbasum unconsciously feels that Farooq’s love will forever be there, regardless of her actions. Just like Anum and Faraz from Wabaal, Tabbasum and Farooq’s distinct viewpoints towards life not only shape their relationship at the moment but also introduce a conflicting situation. Tabbasum’s outlook is pragmatic, focusing on practicality and material needs. In contrast, Farooq’s perspective is idealistic, emphasizing the importance of emotional connection above everything else. I am really interested in finding out how this track will unfold in the future.
The Performances
Kubra Khan’s performance as a character who outwardly appears to have all aspects of her life perfectly in order, yet privately grapples with a multitude of personal struggles, has been convincing. Her portrayal draws viewers into the character’s world, inviting empathy for the hidden battles. She has done especially well while translating Jannat’s soft and sensitive side on screen. Kubra Khan’s Urdu accent lacks clarity at times but other than that her performance has been on point. Ramsha Khan’s outstanding performance is unquestionably one of the standout highlights of this drama. What truly sets her performance apart is the captivating air of mystery she weaves into her character. This keeps the viewers wondering about Tabbasum’s actual intentions and her next move. Ramsha has also done exceptionally well portraying Tabbasum’s changed priorities on screen.
Talha Chahour is one of the most promising new talents in the Pakistani television industry, displaying remarkable potential. However, it is disappointing that he appears to be at risk of falling into a typecasting trap. While his performance in this drama is commendable overall, his role and his performance in this drama closely resemble his previous character in Wabaal. There is a sense of familiarity in his character, which, although skillfully executed, leaves me wanting to see him in more diverse and challenging roles that truly showcase his range as an actor.
Saboor Aly and Gohar Rasheed’s performances are decent enough but they do not bring much to the table. Given Gohar Rasheed’s talent and experience, I expect a bit more in terms of emotional resonance. In the ensemble cast of supporting actors, Dania Enwer’s performance truly shines, standing out with its remarkable and organic appeal.
The Strengths
Jannat se Aagay’s well-crafted script is its strongest asset. Ramsha Khan’s stellar performance also adds to its engagement value. The script keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with its unpredictability and offers a refreshing break from clichéd storylines. Also, the character arcs are thoughtfully developed, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative.
Jannat Se Aagay reminds me of Umera Ahmed’s most masterfully written and unforgettable dramas which I have re-watched repeatedly. What stands out so far is Umera Ahmed’s signature style of storytelling, characterized by its seemingly straightforward surface narrative that conceals a deep and impactful core.
The Shortcomings
While the storytelling is engaging, the overall treatment given to the story occasionally hinders its pace. Some scenes tend to linger longer than necessary, which can test the viewers’ patience. Moreover, the background score does not consistently live up to expectations. There are instances where it fails to enhance the emotional impact of important scenes, missing opportunities to elevate the viewing experience.
One aspect that has proven to be particularly distracting is the way food consumption scenes are filmed in the drama. These scenes are a frequent occurrence in each episode, but what stands out is the obvious effort made by the actors to avoid actually eating the food, and this tends to detract from the overall viewing experience. While it is completely understandable that actors want to abstain from consuming unhealthy food, it raises the question of whether there could be alternative methods employed by the writer and director to depict these characters in more natural dining settings. This could be achieved by creative camera angles, close-ups of food, or skillful editing that maintains the illusion of food enjoyment without actual consumption.
Final Remarks
Jannat Se Aagay covers a broader and more profound narrative than just delving into the world of morning shows, the women who host them, and the competition for higher ratings. While these elements are certainly part of the storyline, the drama digs deeper into complex themes and human relationships. The drama also ventures into the exploration of love, ambition, and the quest for contentment. Most of the characters in the drama are in search of their ‘jannat’ which makes for an interesting watch.

Youtube has become a lucrative source of business in Pakistan as many young people and even established stars and journalists have moved towards the platform to earn money in dollars. We have seen teenagers making millions off of it and they thus move towards Vlogs and podcasts. There has been an increase in the number of podcasts these days and we have Nadir Ali, Frieha Altaf and many new creators joining the race and churning out interviews with people from all walks of life.
Mooroo is one such YouTuber who started out on YouTube among the very first creators in Pakistan. He was famous for his comedy sketches, his character Amanullah as well as his out of the box music. But Mooroo now mostly does podcasts and he has interviewed any people including big stars like Mahira Khan and Fahad Mustafa.
Mooroo was a guest on Hasna Mana Hai where he revealed that he is right now focusing on podcasts and therefore not making other content. He also shared that he earns better money with podcasts. Mooroo shared that if a long video gets 1 million views, one can make 4 thousand dollars through it easily. While a small video would get 300 dollars instead.
He said this is the reason for the high number of podcasts on YouTube these days. Here is what he had to say:
Showbiz is a world of charm, glamour, lights and fame. People are always attracted towards it and many want to join in as there is money, fame and success that can be achieved in a relatively shorter period of time if luck is favouring you. But many actors do have to work hard in order to get noticed. The recent offering by Kashif Nisar, Kabli Pulao has many such names. Even the leading actress Sabeena Farooq blew everyone over by her portrayal. Another character that intrigues the audience is Chammo played by Raima Khan and fans feel for the ordeal she is going through after marrying Ghaffar.
Raima is a good actress and she is getting sympathies as Chammo, However, we have not seen much of her on screen and she revealed the reason while talking to Independent Urdu.
Raima said that actors often never get offered any work. Mostly the offers are mediocre or she and actors like her might not get work offered to her at all. She is therefore not seen much on screen and channels generally keep casting the same pool of actors and newcomers do not get a fair chance. She therefore, always asks Kashif Nisar to cast her when she is dying for a good role.
Here is what she said:
She also revealed that Raima is not her real name and she is a complete Punjabi so the Khan in her name is not original either. She said that she was advised to change her name and she selected Raima from a list. She was then asked to add a last name so she added Khan.
Mansha Pasha is counted among very talented, well-articulated and intelligent actors in the industry. She is choosy with the scripts she picks up and we generally see Mansha taking up projects that have great stories and some kind of message to give out. She has been in Laal Kabootar, Zindagi Gulzar Hai and right now we are seeing her in Idiot. Mansha has been through many ups and downs in her life and she has always managed to come out strong.
Talking to Frieha Altaf on the podcast FWhy, Mansha talked about the pain she went through during her divorce. She said that it was a very difficult time. There are people who are continuously advising you and they may be coming from a positive place but it is better to listen to your gut. It took Mansha 5 years to start thinking on individualistic lines after her first divorce and she did it in her own time.
This is what she shared:
Mansha is now married to activist, lawyer and politician, Jibran Nasir. She shared that she was friends with Jibran and later on they felt they had something special. But they both took their time before jumping in completely and become a couple.
Listen to Mansha and Jibran’s meet-up story:
Recently, with the ongoing chaos in the country and people with dissenting voices being abducted, Mansha’s husband Jibran also got picked up while she was with him. She bravely raised voice for him and due to the social media uproar and support of thousands of Pakistanis from all ideological walks, Jibran was freed and he returned home thankfully.
Mansha shared how she felt at the time and how thankful she is for all the support:

Pakistan is a country mired in pain, inflation and economic meltdown. There seems to be no end to the misery that has enveloped this nation and everyone has to downgrade their lifestyles while many have lost their savings in a year and a half. Government’s policies and constant crackdowns on political forces have destabilized the country completely and there seems to be no end to the dwindling of the economy in sight.
But there are still people who are not effected by the riding prices and even by their countrymen committing suicides. They have all the money in the world and they own big businesses and real-estate. Yes, having money and spending it in any way a person wants is no crime but flaunting this when your fellow countrymen cannot afford proper food is not a good omen. And this happened when a family from Sialkot celebrated their two year old baby’s birthday in a lavish manner.
Ace photographer Irfan Ahson covered the event and shared some glimpses on his page. Here is how the birthday was:
People are not happy and they are criticizing the show off at this birthday party. Many said that the birthday looks more like the mother’s wish rather than the little girl’s. Here is what the internet has to say:

Iftikhar Thakur has been in the industry for decades now. He has impressed the audience with his comic timing and acting that moves everyone when he wants to. He is a very knowledgable and intellectual person and his philanthropic efforts are not hidden either. He was a guest on Hafiz Ahmed’s podcast where he revealed some very unknown facets of his life.
He shared how he moved towards Islam and how he has taught and given dars about Islam to all the stage artists who have worked with him. This is something that he has done for over 15 years now and it has saved him from getting destroyed. Sharing about this unknown facet of his life, he said that he felt like a hypocrite that on one side he is giving dars in the iddle of intervals in a thatre and on the other hand, he is related to an industry that may not be acceptable by the religion.
He then asked Maulana Jamshed about his feelings and Maulana said that no profession is good or bad, people are good or bad and one should try to live purely even in a gutter. That is when he became more serious about his path. This is what went down:
He also revealed how he was able to be a part of the journey where hundreds of people read the Quran for the first time. There were women in showbiz who got married and started pardah and never went back to their old lives.
Here is the remarkable magnitude of people whom he was able to influence:
He also revealed the miracle he saw as he once travelled to Madinah without a ticket. He had a visa and he used to go to Madinah nearly once a month. Once he was not able to get on a flight but miraculously, the pilot there knew him, arranged for his visit and he went to Madinah easily while sitting in the cockpit.
Pakistan is a strange place if we talk about love. You will often see cases here when men reject women who are their age because they want younger. Families will reject each other over petty issues and in many areas, love marriages are still a taboo and a feat impossible to achieve. But then there are cases where Indian and Chinese women are reaching Pakistan to marry the loves of their lives and alleged Pakistani women are leaving for India to find a husband whiel still being married to their Pakistani husbands. Now, we have another age defying love story between a 35 year old man and a 70+ year old woman.
The couple has been together for around 6 years now. The lady added the man named Shahzad via Facebook and they became friends. This later changed into feelings of love and they finally got married. Shahzad says that he is not a gold-digger neither is this for any visa, though his visa has been rejected by Canada. He also revealed that his wife financially supports him and does not want him to work as that could affect his health. The couple is also starting their YiuTube channel to support themselves.
Here is the love story of Shahzad and Mary via Urdu Point. Check out:
