Pakistan’s famous musician, singer-songwriter, guitarist, bandleader Faraj Anwar has recently made a shocking statement. In a recent interview, Faraz, who has worked with many famous artists of Pakistan, expressed his regret for saying that music is forbidden in Islam and said that I have realized that people do not understand how artists work. Huh. Even in today’s era, people think that music is a side business and only those people join music whose family members have a good financial condition. But I am sure that music artists are also discriminated against. I wanted to set up a studio in the year 2005 but we were not able to confirm any location. Wherever we went, people would say that they are very conservative Muslims and they cannot allow music artists to open studios. Not only this, I also had to deal with such questions while taking home in Karachi.
Anwar told that once he was refused even to open his bank account in Pakistan. He told that I had to open a dollar account because I give online classes. But I was told that my request has been rejected as I am a music artist. I asked in a troubled tone, am I a kafir? And that bank employee had agreed. Faraz further said that when I meet my Indian fans, they touch my feet while Pakistanis call me ‘Kanjar, Mirasi’ while listening to Indian songs. I have read the Quran five times with different translations. It is not written anywhere in it that music is haram. However, gambling, loan and jina have been described as wrong in the Quran. But you can take a loan by visiting any of our banks.
Kangana Ranaut demanded against Vir Das, said – strict action should be taken against such criminals
Anwar said that people know that our message goes far and wide and the contractors of religion feel that we can expose them. They want complete control. Junaid Jamshed was slapped at the airport, people stood and watched. Amjad Sabri was shot dead in broad daylight in a public market and nobody cared. Forget the musicians, see how Professor Abdus Salaam was treated. I am not saying that Indians do not discriminate, Shabana Azmi had also told how difficult it was for her as a Muslim to find a house on rent in India. But Muslim musicians will either be called ‘Kafir’ here or they will be denied rights because they are Muslims in India.
