According to the messages that Hamza Ali Abbasi conveyed on the digital media, all the trophies he has won stand as the symbol of all the hard work. He has done this to achieve his goals and objectives. Nevertheless, these plaques and souvenirs would be nothing more than a decoration piece after his death. In other words, his achievements mean everything to him from this life’s perspective. But, it would all fade with his passing away into the hereafter. Thus, his focus has now shifted towards understanding the reality of God. He’s interested to know the purpose behind the creation of this universe. From now onwards, Hamza Abbassi has decided to devote himself to Islam. Hence, he wants to spread the message of Islam towards humanity. This will be followed by helping the poor and those in need through charity work of all sorts.

The First Step

Hamza’s first endeavors have already started based on his participation in some of the TV transmissions hosted in the holy month of Ramadan where he has tried to get the answers to some general questions regarding God and the purpose of humanity. His contemplation also includes his efforts to understand the teachings of Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad and what it means to be a Muslim. Furthermore, he is going into the details of the teachings of Islam and the duties of a Muslim to perform for helping out the other fellow Muslim brethren.

All the contemplation has paved the way for Hamza Ali Abbasi to make a decision. He is stepping away from the world of acting and film-making. Hamza wants to devote his life to the true cause of his existence, serving God and humanity. He took a step ahead by revealing the information regarding his upcoming book about God. The audience composed of his die-hard followers took the news seriously. They requested him to release the excerpts of his effort. The fans demanded making them digitally accessible for the readers. 

On consistent requests from his fans, he revealed that the book will be available for free. It will be available for all those who are interested to know how Hamza has ended up on the path laid down by his Creator. It is all based on the idea that all these awards are nothing more than a mere piece of metal. They possess value being affiliated with a person to whom these are rewarded. Once the person has passed away, these souvenirs tend to lose their value. They become worthless and provide no benefit to humankind. 

Conversely, if an individual becomes a philanthropist, his charity work would continue to provide benefits to upcoming generations. With that mission in mind, he has started writing the book of his awakening and we anticipate that it would be loved by his followers and appreciated by the critics as well.

All these explanations made him realize that these principles are not happening on their own. Rather, there is a Creator behind these processes. He has created this all with a purpose including his own existence. All these factors contributed a lot towards Hamza’s return to Islam and Islamic teachings.

Guidance For Fellow Muslims

Hamza Ali Abbasi has pointed out that his purpose behind drafting his book is not to announce his career as a writer. Rather, he just wishes to share his perspectives like any other individual who wishes to guide his or her fellows. He says that we all have been provided with a clear set of instructions by our Creator. However, we have divided ourselves into sects marking our differences from one another. This has led to a series of riots happening every now and then in the different regions as a result of these impertinent discriminations. He wishes to clarify all these misinterpretations through his own understanding of Islam in his upcoming book.
