Noman Ijaz is one of Pakistan’s respected senior and versatile actors, whose career spans decades and has countless fans around the world.
Actor Noman Ijaz, known for his excellent performances in hit dramas like Dasht, Mera Sain, Sang Mar Mar, Alif, and Parizaad, is not only popular among the public for his acting but is also known for his outspoken and bold style.
In a recent vlog with actor Syed Jibran, Noman has expressed some humorous yet critical thoughts about the behavior of Pakistanis during the holy month of Ramadan, which is going viral on social media.
Noman Ijaz talked about how this blessed month brings people closer to spirituality, but the worst behavior is often seen during this same month.
Noman Ijaz said, “Basically, Allah sent Ramadan for Muslims, not for Pakistanis.” Yes, Pakistanis fast, but they cannot tolerate it. They cannot control their anger during Ramadan.”
The actor said, “The intolerance among our people is also evident on the streets. They abuse each other on the road, they do not wait for the signal to turn green. Instead, they start fighting and a verbal war begins.”
He added, “We are the worst in our behavior during Ramadan, although we are not good in other months either. Apart from that, we are very lazy and extremely lazy, so we do not want to work during Ramadan. We go for one prayer and spend all the working hours in the mosque to avoid work.”
Addressing the public, he said that we use worship for personal gain and defeat the purpose of (obligatory worship).
Noman Ijaz satirically criticized how some people use the month of Ramadan for personal convenience rather than the beginning of a spiritual journey, pointing to a much larger problem in society.
According to the actor, the real lessons of Ramadan are to adopt patience, self-control, and compassion, instead of which we further deteriorate our behavior and become victims of intolerance.
