Veteran actor Nauman Ijaz has never shied away from speaking his mind. And this Ramadan, he’s got a lot to say about how Pakistanis behave during the holy month.
In a recent vlog with fellow actor Syed Jibran, the Bismil star shared his thoughts on how Ramadan, a time meant for spiritual reflection and self-discipline, often brings out the worst in some people.
With his signature sarcasm, Nauman Ijaz didn’t hold back in critiquing the behavior of Pakistanis during this sacred time.
“Basically, Allah sent Ramadan for Muslims, not for Pakistanis,” Ijaz quipped, setting the tone for his commentary. “Yes, Pakistanis do keep fasting, but they can’t bear it; they can’t control their anger during Ramzan. They bad-mouth each other on the road, they won’t wait for the signals to turn green; instead, they will start fighting and indulge in a war of abusive words.”
Ijaz went on to highlight how some people misuse the month for personal convenience rather than spiritual growth. “We are at the worst of our behavior during Ramzan, although we aren’t good in other months either,” he said with a laugh.
“Also, we are so lazy and lethargic; they don’t want to work during Ramzan. They go for one Namaz and spend all the work hours in the mosque just to avoid work. You use Farz Ibadat for personal benefits. They kill the purpose of (Farz Ibadat) Worship.”
