Moreover a grand fan following was there to keep him starring. But what was nagging him was the lack of peace and contentment in his life. He felt he was going against Islam and Allah. So regardless of the success in his career, he decided to quit to embrace his spiritual journey. He states very clearly in his caption of Instagram,
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…I am so thankful to Almighty Allah that he gave me chance to REPENT and accepted me wholeheartedly as i have been seeing miracles going in my life…I felt so peace and sigh of relief while reading my holy Book Quran by heart. Alhamdulilah…
In the end of his post Saqib Khan apologised to his fans and followers wholeheartedly.
