One of Pakistan’s hottest bachelors Hamza Ali Abbasi announced his wedding to actor Naimal Khawar Wednesday evening leaving the whole country divided over his announcement.
In case you missed it here’s Hamza’s announcement.
Yup, its true. P.S Massive respect to Naimal for being ok with a Ganja me on Nikkah ♥️ pic.twitter.com/8z9Uns0xo3
As expected, Hamza’s announcement had Pakistanis on Twitter divided. While some congratulated the happy couple, others began to dissect his post and called him out for being a narcissist.
MashaAllah, what a beautiful way to express the meaning of marriage. Congratulations Hamza and Naimal Allah aap donon ke rishtey mein barkat ata fermaye aameen.
Meanwhile, others called out Hamza for his lengthy explanations of why he is marrying Naimal.
careful with his choice of words. He has romanticized emotional unavailability and is feeding into the notion of marriage being a religious/societal obligation only, rather than a union of affection and compassion. We don’t need to propagate this toxic masculinity. It’s 2019.
Hamza Abbasi is such a great caricature of the born-again, consumed-by-guilt-but-still-macho Muslim dunce. A fairly common breed in Pakistan, though sadly this one’s become famous.
#HamzaAliAbbasi is marrying the most beautiful & young new tv star. Yet, goes on to give lengthy details, it’s not cuz of love. Brother! No friendship between na mahrem man & woman, platonic or otherwise is allowed in Islam, if u wanna play strictly Muslim. #Hamzawedsnaimal
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has informed the Supreme Court (SC) that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President (VP) Maryam Nawaz has “distanced herself” from the video scandal of ex-accountability court judge Arshad Malik, Express Tribune reported Thursday.
Maryam on July 6 had presented to journalists a secretly recorded video of judge Arshad Malik and claimed that he was “forced to give the verdict against Nawaz Sharif in the Al-Azizia reference case”.
According to latest reports, FIA presented before the court a 105-page report, wherein it said that Maryam has now distanced herself from the video and placed burden of the details and specifics of the video upon Nasir Mehmood Butt.
Butt is the person who reportedly recorded the conversation during which Malik had allegedly confessed convicting Nawaz under pressure.
The FIA report further said that PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif has also distanced himself from the videotapes.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) had on July 12 removed Malik as a judge and directed the registrar to repatriate him to his parent department, the Lahore High Court (LHC).
A Pakistani named Bilal Khalid, currently living in the United Kingdom (UK) has claimed to be the founder of Bitcoin, originally known as Satoshi Nakamoto.
The true identity of Bitcoin’s founder is unknown and it is also said that Satoshi had a huge collection of coins worth almost $10 billion.
According to the details, Bilal in a series of blogposts has provided evidence to support his claim of being Bitcoin’s creator, along with his story on what inspired him to work on digital currency.
Bilal says that he derived the name Bitcoin from BCCI (the Bank of Credit and Commerce International) and wrote that he graduated from Al-Khair University in Pakistan, and later took online courses from Yale, Duke, and University of California-Irvine.
He also shared the story of how he lost his coins collection, which as of right now are 10,037,062,000.00 USD, and would have made him the richest Pakistani.
However, he says the loss was too big for him to take and that is the reason why he gave up on cryptocurrency.
There’s something fishy going on Twitter. Pakistan’s Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said that they have contacted Twitter after the social media forum blocked over 150 Pakistani accounts for raising their voice for the Kashmiri people. PTA also said that Twitter “blocked Pakistani accounts under the influence of Indian lobbies”.

The PTA made clear to Twitter that 178 accounts had been blocked for “advocating Kashmiri rights and condemning Indian forces’ atrocities in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” and also said that, “It appears that the Twitter administration is under influence of Indian lobbies is depriving Pakistani users.”
ARY’s prime time anchor, Arshad Sharif, also faced Indian social media aggression when India tried to get Twitter to ban his account.

In a social media update, Hamza Ali Abbasi put to rest all the speculations and confirmed that he is indeed tying the knot with actress Naimal Khawar in a “small Nikkah on August 25” followed by a valima on August 26.
Talking in detail about his spiritual journey, Hamza said, “When you realise that [life] is not fairytales and it is TRUTH that you have a Rabb & you will stand accountable infront of him after you die, it changes you. Your first priority becomes fixing yourself rather than changing the world.”
He continued, “You beg Allah for help and no matter how many times you fail you promise Allah that you will rather die trying and failing but you will never give up in your pursuit to do what pleases him and avoid what displeases him. Then one day, in one specific aspect of your life, Allah gets satisfied with the sincerity of heart & accepts your extremely flawed efforts for him and then HE TAKES OVER! He rewards you and opens your heart towards things that were unthinkable for you before.”
On marrying Naimal, Hamza said, “Some people get married for themselves because either they fall in love or because their lonely or maybe because of family or to have kids, these are also good reasons, but believe me when your sole reason is to please Allah then Allah makes a man like me, who could never sustain anything emotional with the opposite gender, could never comprehend the idea of marriage in his head, Allah makes that man go upto his very platonic friend of two years Naimal and tell her that he doesn’t want a relationship (that GF/BF nonsense) neither is he claiming to be in love with her but he wants to marry her with the intention of strengthening his very turbulent efforts to walk a path which pleases Allah and to my surprise she agrees not just to marry me but also expresses her joy in walking this path with me & now we can’t even breathe without each other.”
Yup, its true. P.S Massive respect to Naimal for being ok with a Ganja me on Nikkah ♥️ pic.twitter.com/8z9Uns0xo3
Following Hamza’s declaration of love, people began to speculate about how the couple’s “love story” began. To this Hamza said that there is no “love story”, they were friends for two years before deciding to tie the knot.
Grateful for the flood of invites on TV shows to talk abt our “Love Story”, but as disappointing as it sounds thr is none. We were just frnds for 2 yrs & recently Allah put it in my heart to ask her to marry me for reasons i mentioned and she said yes… Thts the entire story https://t.co/lTl2xCVDYi
