Renowned Islamic scholar Mufti Tariq Masood has once again sparked public discourse — this time following a personal and emotional exchange with actress Humaima Malick. Widely admired for his logical and accessible approach to Islamic teachings, Mufti Tariq Masood has long influenced people from all walks of life, including prominent figures from the entertainment world.
The latest buzz was triggered by a TikTok clip in which Mufti Tariq Masood shared details of a phone call he received from actress Humaima Malick, the celebrated actress known for her role in the critically acclaimed film Bol. The call came after Mufti Tariq publicly criticized a controversial line from the movie that Malick had delivered:
“Jab khila nahi sakte to paida kyun karte ho?”
(“Why do you give birth to children when you can’t feed them?”)
The line, meant to reflect the frustrations of a poverty-stricken father unable to support his daughters, had ignited heated debates since the film’s release. Mufti Tariq Masood, however, called it out as a misleading and un-Islamic message, cautioning that it could sow dangerous ideas among viewers, as reported by Minute Mirror newspaper.
How did Mufti Tariq Masood inspire Humaima Malick?
According to Mufti Tariq, Humaima reached out after watching his video. In a heartfelt conversation, she expressed deep regret over the line and said she had repented to Allah. Her mother, too, contacted the scholar, sharing the same sentiment and emphasizing that the fault did not lie with the actress but with the filmmakers — who, they claimed, were pushing an agenda aligned with certain NGOs and not with Islamic values.
Mufti Tariq praised Humaima’s sincerity and humility, describing her as someone who showed true Islamic character by acknowledging her mistake and turning to repentance. He emphasized that her response exemplifies how even public figures can set an example of spiritual self-reflection and moral accountability.
This episode has not only gone viral but also opened a broader conversation about the ethical responsibilities of filmmakers and the influence of media narratives on public perception and religious values.
As the video continues to circulate online, many viewers see the exchange as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of honest dialogue and the enduring impact of Mufti Tariq Masood’s message of faith and introspection.
