Singer Abdullah Qureshi took to Instagram on the 6th of October 2022 to announce that he had quit the music industry for Islam. He said in his post that he will only take campaigns henceforth that align with his religious values. Siddiqui wrote, “I know I’ve been lost for a long time and I have received a ton of messages in this time asking about where I have been. I was on a break, pressed the pause button for a while, and took this time to find who I was, where I’m headed, and who do I want to become.”
“Alhamdulillah I’, satisfied with this decision and I’m on my way to finding the real truth and I pray that Allah makes this new journey easy for me”, he said in his post. He further vowed only to do campaigns that fall within his “religious fold”.
Before leaving the music industry for Islam as a pious Muslim, Abdullah had in the past issued an apology for his “problematic behavior” and spoken about his “fetishes”.
It was in 2021 that he posted an apology on his Instagram account.
In this apology, the former singer stated that he is sorry to everyone he has hurt or harmed in any way and requested the removal of anything related to ‘this’ because it has affected his career and is likely to affect his daughter.
