“We are here to learn too,” he stated.

Renowned actor Faysal Quraishi recently responded to criticism surrounding celebrities hosting Ramazan transmissions. In two video clips circulating online, the Farq actor clarified misconceptions about their role in religious programming.

During a local transmission, Faysal addressed a common critique. “I’ve often seen and read people saying, ‘Now, celebrities will teach us Islam.’ That is absolutely not my or anyone else’s intention. Be it any programme, it is not our aim to school you. In fact, we are here to learn, too,” he stated.

Reflecting on his experience, he added, “Believe me, it’s my fourth consecutive year hosting a Ramazan transmission, and I’ve learnt a lot myself. There is so much that I’ve studied, grasped, realised, and understood that it has helped me shape my daily routine.”

In a separate video, Faysal reiterated, “Normally, people think we can’t do Ramazan transmissions because of our behaviour throughout the year, because they think we preach religion. We are not here to teach religion; there are respected scholars that teach Islam.”

His level-headed response earned praise from netizens. “You’re doing a very good job. Please, keep doing it,” one user wrote. Another commented, “It is upsetting that we judge others and criticise their faith instead of minding our own.”
