Dangal Girl Zaira Wasim last post stated
5 years ago I made a decision that changed my life forever. As I stepped my foot in Bollywood, it opened doors of massive popularity for me. I started to become the prime candidate of public attention, I was projected as the gospel of the idea of success. And was often identified as a role model for the youth. However, that’s never something that I set out to do or become. Especially with regards to my ideas of success and failure, which I had just started to explore and understand.

As I complete 5 years today, I want to confess that I am not truly happy with this identity ie my line of work. For a very long time now it has felt like I have struggled to become someone else. As I had just started to explore and make sense of the things to which I dedicated my time, efforts and emotions. And tried to grab hold of a new lifestyle. It was only for me to realise that though I may fit here perfectly, I do not belong here.
This field indeed brought a lot of love, support, and applaud my way. But what it also did was to lead me to a path of ignorance. As I silently and unconsciously transitioned out of imaan. While I continued to work in an environment that consistently interferes with my imaan. My relationship with my religion was threatened.
She Continued
As I continued to ignorantly pass through while I kept trying to convince myself that what I was doing is okay and isn’t really affecting me, I lost all the Barakah from my life. Barakat is a word that doesn’t just confine its meaning to happiness, quantity, or blessing; it also focuses on the idea of stability, something I struggled with extensively. I was constantly battling with my soul to reconcile my thoughts and instincts to fix a static picture of my iman and I failed miserably, not just once but a hundred times.
No matter how hard I tried to wrestle to firm my decision, I ended up being the same person with a motive that one day I will change and I will change soon. I kept procrastinating by tricking and deluding my conscience into the idea that I know what I am doing doesn’t feel right but assumed that I will put an end to this whenever the time feels right and I continued to put myself in a vulnerable position.
Where it was always so easy to succumb to the environment that damaged my peace, iman and my relationship with Allah. I continued observing things and twisting my perceptions as I wanted them to be, without truly understanding that the key is to see them as they are, kept trying to escape.
But somehow I always ended up hitting a dead end, in an endless loop with a missing element. That kept torturing me with a longing I was neither able to make sense of nor satisfy. Until I decided to confront my weakness and began to strive and correct my lack of knowledge. And understanding by attaching my heart with the words of Allah.
She further continued
In the great and divine wisdom of the Quran, I found sufficiency and peace. Indeed the hearts find peace when it acquires the knowledge of Its Creator, His < Attributes, His Mercy and His commandments. I began to heavily rely upon Allah’s mercy for my help and guidance instead of valuing my own believability.
I discovered my lack of knowledge of the basic fundamentals of my religion and how my inability to reinforce a change earlier was a result of confusing my heart’s contentment. And well being with strengthening and satisfying my own (shallow and worldly) desires. I discovered my disease of doubt & error that my heart was afflicted with. There are 2 types of diseases that attack the heart. One; DOUBT and Error and the second; LUST and Desire. Both are mentioned in the Quran.
Allah says, “In their hearts is a disease (of doubt & hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. Quran 2:10]. And I realized the remedy to this could only be attained through the guidance of Allah and indeed Allah guided my path when I lost my wry.
