Ali Rameez is a person, which Maldives and the whole Islamic ummah would be proud of.
There are many things people do not know about the former singer. During his school days, even, he was careful about offering Salat on time. Ali Rameez stopped singing when he was convinced that singing is forbidden in Islam. That is nothing people should be concerned with. It is his own decision and he has the right to do so.
Recently, a religious scholar from Pakistan died in an airplane crash. He also used to be a musician. However, he said good bye to the world of music and got involved in inviting people to Islam. As a result he was among the most influential 500 religious scholars in the world. Millions of muslims loved him.
One of the best thing about Ali Rameez is that he loves the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He threw away the mic he was using to sing and started presenting religious programs. His presentations are so eloquent.
Recently some foreign media has criticized Ali Rameez. This shows that his popularity is rising outside Maldives. If someone is serving Islam foreign agents cannot digest it. However, Muslims should not be worried about it. It will be a form of encouragement to go further.
