Alizeh Shah’s Take On Qurbani On Eid Ul Adha

Alizeh Shah is known for her unique personality, excellent acting and honest opinions. She boasts a strong Instagram following of 4.3 million. Fans love her active presence on her social media. Alizeh Shah’s notable dramas are Ishq Tamasha, Ehd E Wafa, Mera Dil Mera Dushman, Dil Moum Ka Diya, Muhabbat ki Akhri Kahani, Khel, Taqdeer, Jo Tu Chahay and others. Alizeh is a very emotional artist who gets affected even by small things. She often shares her thoughts with fans, and this time, she has spoken up about something that is bothering her regarding Eid ul Adha.

Alizeh Shah expressed her fear regarding the upcoming Eid ul Azha and the sacrifice of animals. She shared her feelings openly and said that Qurbani should be done with care and responsibility. Talking about it, Alizeh wrote, “A humble thought from the heart. As Eid ul Adha approaches, I’ve been holding onto something I feel I should finally express — with the utmost respect, love, and understanding for everyone’s beliefs and practices. Please know this is not a criticism, just a soft voice sharing a different perspective. I know that Qurbani (sacrifice) is a Sunnah, a beautiful tradition rooted in the story of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and his submission to Allah’s will. But it is also true, from an Islamic standpoint, that it is not a fardh (obligatory) act for everyone. For many, it’s only required once in a lifetime, and even then, only if one is financially able. Yet, sometimes, it feels like this sacred act has turned into something else entirely.”

Alizeh was also not happy about seeing the signs of sacrificing of animals on the roads. She stated, “Every year, I see so much pain on the roads — blood, fear in the eyes of animals, their cries — and my heart breaks. I know they can’t speak, but animals feel. They love, they nurture, they form bonds — just like we do. They were created by the same loving God who created us, and to see them suffer so publicly, often with pictures, jokes, and memes shared on social media — it’s something I personally find very difficult to digest. I know intentions matter, and I know that for many, Qurbani is done with sincerity and reverence. This post is not against that. It’s only a gentle plea: Can we make this Eid less about how many animals we sacrifice or how big they are, and more about the spirit of giving, empathy, and humility? I only request — if it’s possible — please be mindful of the images and videos shared online. Some of us are deeply affected by them. Islam teaches mercy, compassion, and dignity — for humans and animals. That is the true Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (PBUH).”

Saba Qamar Joins UNICEF Campaign Against Child Marriage

UNICEF launched a powerful video campaign featuring renowned actress and National Ambassador for Child Rights, Saba Qamar, to raise awareness about child marriage in Pakistan.

In the video, Saba Qamar urges communities to speak up and take action, highlighting the dangers young girls face when forced into marriage—such as poor health, lack of education, and lost opportunities.

“Why should any child in Pakistan be forced into a marriage they didn’t choose?” she asks. She also shares the story of Anam Nazir, a 14-year-old girl who stopped three child marriages in her area, calling her a symbol of the change Pakistan needs.

With nearly 19 million girls in Pakistan married before the age of 18, the country ranks sixth globally in child marriage. Most of these girls drop out of school and face serious health risks from early pregnancies.

UNICEF Pakistan Representative Abdullah Fadil explained that poverty and harmful traditions fuel child marriage. “We need stronger laws, better support for girls, and a cultural shift,” he said. “How can Pakistan progress when half our children are left behind?”

Fadil praised Islamabad’s recent decision to raise the legal marriage age to 18 and urged other provinces to follow suit. He called Saba Qamar “a powerful voice for change,” emphasizing UNICEF’s joint mission with UN partners to protect children and empower youth across the country.
