Wow, how amazing is this news, she wants to focus on building an islamic madrassah and no longer wants to be part of dumtub.
Mashallah!
Shehen Bacha now Nazia Ibqbal - kick in the teeth to the secularists who will have to go back to using transvestites as singers and dancers in their ANP rallies!
================================================== ===
When one of the world's most beloved Pashtun singers announced that she was giving up music to follow her faith, it came as more than a shock to fans and supporters -- some took it as a national tragedy.
Nazia Iqbal surprised concertgoers in Dubai on January 21 when she announced that they were seeing her last performance. She was leaving music, she said, to live the "life of a devoted Muslim woman."
"Now you are not going to see my face," the popular Pakistani singer said, "because I will be wearing the Islamic veil."
"Nazia,", as she is known to her admirers, is from Pakistan's western Swat region, but has been based in the United Arab Emirates since 2005.
Her albums, recorded in her native Pashto as well as Urdu, Farsi, and Punjabi are very popular in Pakistan's tribal Pashto-language areas and Afghanistan.
Nazia says she now plans to open an Islamic religious school or madrasah in Pakistan, but for many of her fans there, this homecoming won't compensate for the loss of her music.
