Saqib also shared that it was tough struggling in Mumbai, but he is proud that he could earn such a fan following in a year. However, he feels it’s all for the worldly benefits as he has not gained anything for life post death. He wrote “In nutshell i was going Astray( gumrah) and was going against my tenants of Islam. I used to offer Namaz but something was lacking and that was Sukoon & my accountability towards Allah. So now I totally surrendering before Allah SWT. Wo Sukoon jiski mujhe talaash thi wo toh mere samnay tha, meri kitaab mai (our holy Book i.e, Quran).”

Further in his post, Saqib apologized to everyone, “I sincerely apologise to people whom I have hurt intentionally or unintentionally. Dua’on mai yaad rakhye ga. May Allah SWT accept all our Dua’s and shower His mercy and blessings on all of us. Amen”

Well, this is not the first time an artist has decided to give up on showbiz. A few months back, Bigg Bigg Boss 6 finalist and actress Sana Khan also left the entertainment industry.
