Islamabad, March 19:
Pakistani music industry has been dealt with a blow after their star singer-cum-composer, Shiraz Uppal, has decided to say goodbye to his professional singing career in a bid to spend his rest of the life preaching Islam.
The musician with a spell bounding voice started his professional career by mesmerizing the Pakistani audience by giving them his first album named “Tu ha Mera”. He went on to produce three more successful albums, with “Ankahi”
being his latest one.
Uppal owns a music studio “S.U studios” in Lahore as well, in which renowned singers have worked together. Atif Aslam, Zeb and Haniya, Amanat Ali, Fareeha Perveez and Noori have worked at the studio.
Uppal has now followed in the footsteps of Junaid Jamshed, who had earlier set an example for the rest of the musicians by picking out the exit door from the music industry in search of peach and promotion if Islam.
Jamshed, who started a clothing brand after quitting his singing career, has given proper reason behind his exit.
However, unlike Jamshed, Uppal has not identified the reason behind leaving the industry.
He updated his Facebook page, last week:
“I would like to thank you all for liking and enjoying my music… It was a Beautiful journey but everything comes to an end one day… So I said Good Bye to my Musical Career by my own choice… I just wished and prayed to my creator
that how can I make u happy??? And he poured a light in my heart that opened my eyes and the path was lying clear in front of me… May Allah guide us all to the right… Amin”
He added: “I was in search of this that am I doing anything to make ALLAH happy? How can I make you happy and then
I got it how I can make HIM happy”
Let’s see how much this young Pakistani musician can hold on to his NAFS, having already got the example of Junaid Jamshed coming back with a remake of a song “Dil Dil Pakistan” with Salman Ahmed.

and when he realized that his decision made no sense, he started singing again.

Really ? Didnt know that Ali Haider quit singing.
Re: Pakistani Singer Shiraz Uppal quits music for Islam
He is crazy.
Can't these people stay in the middle like Islam preaches ?
Why do they have to make drastic changes and dramatic 'exits' ?
I think Ali Haider is back to singing and also wearing Westerm attire [where previously he had claimed that he would only wear kurta pajama or something like that].
Saw him in UJP on GEO recently (or was it GMP on ARY?).

He is a naat khawa now as far as I know.... who told you he is back to singing ?
Re: Pakistani Singer Shiraz Uppal quits music for Islam
I saw him on GMP with Nida on ARY. It was last week when she was doing the Bahaar show outdoor.
I didn't watch the show but they were discussing music.
I'll have to check it out.

He's not crazy he's just a hyppocrite trying to tell others to trust him because he is a good muslim now since he doe's not sing anymore.
Singing heals and why should something so helpful be banned?
Re: Pakistani Singer Shiraz Uppal quits music for Islam
May ALLAH keep him steadfast and away from fitna.
Music is healer for shaiyateen only. For muslims it is Zikr e Illahi (Tilawat,Namaz,etc)
Re: Pakistani Singer Shiraz Uppal quits music for Islam
You judge, Bihari Baboo !
Music and Zikr e Ilaahi are not mutually exclusive things.
Re: Pakistani Singer Shiraz Uppal quits music for Islam
Good for him.
May Allah guide us all to right path -
Re: Pakistani Singer Shiraz Uppal quits music for Islam
Bao bihari is not the only one who is judging 
If somebody wants to quit music/showbizz or whatever, then good for him/her. Who are we to call that person a hypocrite? Why is he even a hypocrite?
Re: Pakistani Singer Shiraz Uppal quits music for Islam
I don't know. I didn't call him anything.
I have a problem with these prominent singers misguiding people on this issue and perpetuating a myth by quitting music.
Can't they learn by the example of Yusuf Islam rather than reinventing the wheel every time.
Beside, I would like to know what makes them take such a drastic step.
