hey ali!! wasup hope u doin grt……….hey yaar u go evrywhere but u don cum to riyadh…..waitin for surprise eagerly..bye take care

Absolutely LOVE the new ‘feel’to the blog section. Well done. Uff.

Lovely.. looking forward to hearing from you again! The surprise bit I mean =P

Salaam Ali!

You have been very busy (mashAllah), and soon to be more busy with your upcoming tour, I pray that Allah swt continues to give you strength and stamina Ameen.

Just wanted to say, I am not liking the new blog layout or colour shall I say - the dark brown is quite depressing. Can you change it to maybe blue or something a bit more uplifting. I like the ali zafar blog panel part- anyway just wanted to give my opinion, which I think will give a better look and feel.

Ok take care of yourself, good luck with fitness week.

Ambreen

Salam Ali,

Long time no write (on my side). I am an unusual visitor to your website. I was and still am drawn to and concerned about your spiritual side and that is why I write to you.

I wrote to you a while back while you were in the process of (re-) discovering your deen and your Creator during the dark days of November when the country was in the depth of tremendous uncertainty and pain. And now I guess that life goes on.. you are once again busy with your hectic schedule… a man has got to make a living..

But I guess I would just like to remind you to remember all the painful lessons that you have learnt and keep them as close to your heart..

For your thoughts become your actions, your actions become your habit and your habits become your character..

This life is just play and amusement.. all our worldly things and successes will fade one day and only our good (and unfortunately bad) deeds will face us.. there will be no family no friends that day..

Continue to be strong and brave for Allah Taala’s sake, we pray that Allah Taala blesses you with the best of character and guides and protects you always..

You are a role model for your fans so please remember this every time you are in public.. we need good characters in Pakistan or how is the country to improve and change inshaallah..

I did notice that you were very uncomfortable on Mahira’s show..she did not bring out the best in you. I do not know why..

Best wishes as always,

Irum.

hi ali its saira…im finally free from my exams…i was wondering if you could tell me where i can find the pictures from your concert in hammersmith in london….i reli wana see them…thanks you
saira

oh my god!!!

hw woz it?

i know from friends that pak music is very popular over there, as ur ur probably aware coz some of ur best songs have been copied!! lol

hw u doin anywayz? hope u had a gr8 time.
dont keep us guessing. what is the surprise??

p.s do u understand putwari???

wohoooo totally love the new look of the blog
awesome *thumbs up*

well i totally agree with you. living abroad in a multicultural environment, studying in an international school, interacting with all kinds of people, of various races, countries, religion really develops a sense of following universal values which further helps in bringing about peace and harmony.
i am a pakistani, a muslim, but most of my friends here, the people i hang out with, are from india and are non-muslims. despite that fact, we are so close, have amazing memories to share and respect each others culture and religion absolutely [except for during india-pakistan cricket matches hahaha]. so love and harmony can definitely override all differences.

well since summer vacation has begun, i believe most of us are targeting upon improving our fitness.. summers are the time for reinvention and transformation. so really looking forward to doing that.

oh yay.. even though i’m not in pakistan, a tour means more pictures and more news so that makes me jump with delight. and another wohoo.. i’m guessing what the surprise is … is it the video release of Aag Jaisi?

cheers and tc

I have short hair now . It’s just that i cant seem to be too interested with haircuts so i just go to my hairstylist Nabila and tell her to just cut em short so that i shouldn’t have to bother about them for another few months hence they grow out . But i like having longer hair in winters and shorter in summers and feels nice to keep changing.
Muslima , i shall do my best to take care of your advice . However i believe more in loving God rather than fearing Him . The word “forgiveness” is used exactly twice the number as the word “punishment” in Quran .A point worth pondering .
For some reason the image given to islam is that adapting or embrassing it means letting go of all the colour,fun and pleasures of life and making it dull and boring hence putting hesitation in non muslims to adapt it and making it extremely difficlut for muslims to practice. We really need to start thinking out of the box and enlighten ourselves further . Every step is a learning process towards the eventuality of logic . Here is something a friend wrote and sent me . I found it very interesting .

Revelations are often in chiselling and polishing what is within;
Than in changing the insides for life’s meanings to fitin;

Chords are often struck when souls are in harmony with life’s external plays;
Than by strumming the strings for public displays;

True paths often form in intent and imaginations regardless of efforts and strains;
Than by blind wants and ambitions without clarity of end games;

Loss is often in holding while essence and reasons evaporate;
Than in any physically separate state;

Dieing is often in numbed souls stuck in purposeless journeys;
Than when souls separate from physical bodies;

Hey Ali
The new look of the website is gr8.
Take it easy

Oh, and not that long hair looks bad on you…I think you look good in short hair =)….peeeace

Salam Ali,

Well, I just had to get back to you.. as you seem to have totally misjudged me completely.I am not dull nor boring. I am very outgoing mashaallah..and can and will talk to anybody.. I am also the most open minded person that I know. I have made mistakes and will continue to make mistakes I am only human, I am not an angel.

My message was just a general reminder was for all your fans.

I am not saying that you are a bad person at all.. it is just easy for everyone including me to get sidetracked from the true purpose of this temporary life. when did i mention in my message that we should all forsake the world and become hermits? but we must accept that we are different from nonmuslims

I accept and care for all and that is why I remind people. when i went to pakistan i was personally attacked in every way for following my deen. no one wanted to follow it and wanted to hurt me for it..

well at the end of the day,there is no compulsion in religion.. as Allah Taala the most Kind and Merciful does not even force anyone to love and worship Him.. that is how merciful He is. The Prophet peace be upon him came but as a mercy to mankind.. that is all..

Everything has contrasts, for how will we really know good without encountering evil? likewise although it is hard to bear one must realise that if there is Paradise there is also Hell.

May Allah Taala guide us bless us and protect the ummah always inshaallah ameen..

many salams to all

muslimah

waiting for the surprise!!:D

Hi Ali.

I am not a religous person, but sometimes things can happen which can make you look at life in a different perspective.

I lost my naani in october.
I am still grieving for her and many times when i am alone, i do cry as the pain of her not being here sometimes becomes too unbearable.

They say you should not cry as the rooh does not get any piece. But it is impossible. Especially when you lose the people that you love the most.

I’ve heard many times before that people can sense when it is time to go and now i believe it.

My maa, as we used to call her, had been living in England since the 1960’s. After my grandad passed away 14 years ago , and since all the family had left home, she started going back to pakistan a lot, to see distant family, sometimes staying there months at a time. We’d insist that she come and live with us permanantly but she’d say that she feels a lot better when she was overseas.
She’d come back to England for a couple of months, stay with her eldest son, and then go back again.

She had come back last June and was planning to go back in September.
Then suddenly, she caught pnemonia and miraculousley, she survived. We managed to persuade her to stay in England, but she said that she was going to make one last trip to Pakistan in November and give all her money away to the poor.

Then,in October,which was also the same week as my cousins wedding, she sent a message that she was going to come and see us on the following Monday. Then on Sataurday afternoon, she turned up, unexpectedly, to see what her grandaughters looked like,all dressed up, before they went to the mehndi. She sat, talked, laughed and had all her favourite things to eat.Then before she left, she hugged us all, incl. my dad.We looked at each other wondering how come maa hugged both mum and dad today as normally she’d tell us to tell mum and dad that she was going

Then, as she stepped out, our cat kept on going around her legs as if he didnt want her to go. How did we know that this would be the last time we’d ever see her?

The next morning, as we were getting ready for the wedding, we got the call to say that she had passed away.

We carried out her last wish and took her on her final trip to her homeland and gave her clothes and money away the poor.

I still cannot believe it and am just greatful to god that she was here at the time, with her nearest and dearest, and in a way, we got to say our last goodbyes.

Hey Ali! I know abt ur surprise !!!

Salaam Ali n all,

N i really liked Muslimah’s knowledge about Islam…

Ok den… Tc Ali n all…
Luv,
. . . $@N!@ . . .

awww @ rahila yasmin…may Allah bless her soul, you and your fam. too.

BTW, that was a nice post Ali…weird how we always think of the punishments from Allah and not forgiveness…anger and not love…just wondering what will happen if people just think of the positive side…eh, the world would just a better place =)…

First of all , i’m proud to have such blog members and its an honour for me to be sharing my thoughts with you and hearing yours . Muslimah i’m glad to know about the way you think .
Rahila , I literally had tears in my eyes reading about your story .What can i say .. there are some mysteries in life that’ll have to unfold with time .
I also lost my Dadi a while back and have spoken to her in a realm so real that i refuse to accept it as just a dream . This is just one dimension of reality that we are residing in . God knows how many more there are in the universe .All i know is that i have a heart which tells me when something’s not quite right and i know that its connected to the entire universe in some way . i just need to make sure that i’m connected to it !

aww. i totally know how sad it is lose a grandmother. Mine passed away about 1 month ago. it’s very…hurful.it’s also pretty hard to believe that one can die so…fast.
but anyway,
good luck on ur tours and when will u be coming to new york????
nice new look on the blog btw

Hey Ali! How’s it going? I have to say I’m pretty excited you got your haircut! And I hope this surprise comes soon. =D

Rahila, I know exactly how you feel! My grandfather passed away in a similar way. The day before he was supposed to return to the states he passed away unexpectedly. It’s really crazy how things like this can happen, one moment you think everything is just right and then the other something like this happens. Rahila, just remember do always do dua for her and always remember her. Obviously she can’t come back, but you can help her rooh be in peace by making yourself a better person and just being happy. I know that I still can’t believe my grandfather passed away like that, it seems like it was just yesterday that he was just sitting here with the rest of us. Anyways, I hope my advice helped.

Actually Ali did u know that this part of your site is so diff. then the rest of it…wanna change the entire website…Do u think i talk crap alot =)? just wondering…i just feel like teasing you cuz u r soo cute? Do u have facebook?

Hi all!!

Thankyou for your lovely comments.
It means a lot.

I totally agree with you Ali.
It does seem unreal and sometimes the best comfort of all is talking to them.
Even when im alone, i can hear her calling me.

I remember when i saw her body for the very last time, i gave her a kiss on her cheek and can still feel her cold, soft skin against my lips to this day.

The best things that we have are memories.Both happy and sad.

new york , most probabaly october . I love newyork .

Btw, when are you going to come to Atlanta, Georgia?

Salaam Ali

omgg. seriouly??
i can’t wait until october nowww.

Hi Ali, i found that ur comment about religion to Rahila was a lovely way to describe an open minded outlook. Many people believe and impose that open mindedness cannot be associated with religion and isn’t the right way to be a “good muslim”, but i’ve never seemed to understand why people think like that.

Thanx 4 ur comments saimah!!

It really cheered me up.

I pray 4 all my grandparents everyday.

My dad was only 19 when both his parents passed away within a space of 3 mths.

I know sometimes u can get angry or upset with loved ones but remember, life is too short.

Ali, you seem very spiritual to me

Do you know the meanings to dreams??

And anything coming up on the bollywood frontline??

Who is ur fave actor & fave sports personality?

Mwaaah!

anyway…ali have you started pumping the iron yet …lol.. what does it feel like to be back at the gym?…i really don’t envy you!

oh yes…ali if you could make a recommendation i would be really grateful…if u are busy thats ok leave it …but as i said it would be appreciated

can u tell me of a couple of nice places to eat at in lahore …apart from food street…nice meaning the food is really nice, not necessarily the decor.

my cousin lives in lahore and i might just be visiting in feb.

so….will it be long before your next album release?

well take care for now,
wannabe

You know, It’s so cool how you actually reply to most of our messages! Most singers wouldn’t take time out to do that! Only one more reason to make you our favorite

Hey Ali! Are you planning on to staying in Pakistan till end of july? =P any concerts in lahore during that time?

I’m sure you’ll say, ‘I have no idea as yet’

hey ali!unoe wat???? “All i know is that i have a heart which tells me when something’s not quite right and i know that its connected to the entire universe in some way . i just need to make sure that i’m connected to it !” this reminds me of THE ZAHIR N THE ALCHEMIST BY PAULO COELHO have ur read ne of dees??if not read alchemist its jus so goood bye take care

Yes! loosing something makes our life hectic 4 sometime and i got this with my recent loss as my cell was lost a few days before. I was into tears for a long time. It was a costly cell and i had a lot & lot of precious things including all ‘Masty’ & ‘Huqa pani’ songs and a lot of ur(Ali) photos.

The last week was hectic and terrific. My mom and sister got a new cell of the same model of that lost one. Now, I am having all the songs, photos as I had it in the old one.

V hav 2 go thru the future, B’coz past is past.
