During the time when Ali was inclined towards religion, he started recitation of religious verses and became impressed by the poetry of Baba Bullay Shah. It was this poetry that gave him the strength to recollect himself after the tragic phase of his life and step into the lime light of drama and music again. According to Ali, Baba Bullay Shah’s poetry enabled him to redirect him towards his first love. After spending a few years away from the music industry, Ali was back in 2012. He started by appearing on television in a sitcom ‘Ek aur Ek Dhai’ on ARY Digital. Ali later began releasing his music albums too.

    • You can still be close to Islam if you’re a singer. Your belief in God and your love for him resides in your heart. It doesn’t have to clash with your profession. You can love God, pray five times a day, give zakaat and sing too.
