Adham Nabulsi, a well-known Jordanian singer, announced his retirement from music for the “pleasure of Allah” (SWT).
He recited the following verse from the Holy Qur’an in his retirement announcement video: “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me.”
Nabulsi, who rose to fame after appearing on the Arabic version of X-Factor, said he retired for personal and religious reasons.
Several celebrities, including Indian actress Sabina Jat and rapper Ruhaan Arshad, have left the spotlight in recent months citing religious reasons.
Jat, who recently married, claims that her decision influenced her husband to leave the industry as well.
Arshad rose to prominence following the release of his rap song “Miya Bhai” in 2018, which has over 500 million views on YouTube.
He just released a video announcing his decision to leave the music industry because he believes it is incompatible with Islam.
