Maulana Tariq Jamil is a renowned Islamic scholar and preacher known for his gentle tone, wisdom, and spiritually enlightening speeches. He has inspired countless people, including many from Pakistan’s showbiz industry, through his heartfelt talks about the balance between Duniya (worldly life) and Akhirat (hereafter). His message focuses on love, humanity, and kindness rather than criticism or judgment. A few years ago, Maulana Tariq Jamil lost his younger son in a tragic accident. Many Pakistani and international celebrities often mention how Maulana Tariq Jamil brought them closer to faith.
Recently, Maulana Tariq Jamil met former film star Nargis in Makkah during their Umrah pilgrimage. Nargis shared a video on her Instagram, saying that she had first met Maulana Tariq Jamil in 2006, and after many years, she once again got the chance to meet him in the holy city of Makkah. In the video, Maulana Tariq Jamil is seen constantly gazing at Nargis, which has sparked severe public backlash. Watch the video here:
Social media users are criticizing Maulana Tariq Jamil’s behavior, with many referring to the concept of “Aankhon ka parda” (the veil of eyes). One user wrote, “I admire Maulana Sahib, but here I am speechless.” Another commented, “Why didn’t you lower your gaze?” Someone else wrote, “Maulana Sahib seems so into Nargis — eyes don’t lie.” Another user advised, “Please lower your gaze in front of women, as Islam teaches us.” One even referenced a song, saying, “I can’t take my eyes off you — tere chehre se nazar hatt-ti nahi.”
