Junaid Jamshed, formerly the lead vocalist of the famous Pakistani pop band Vital Signs, publicly renounced his music career in the early 2000s after embracing a more religious lifestyle. He considered music to be haram (forbidden) according to his understanding of Islamic teachings and dedicated the remainder of his life to Islamic preaching (dawah) under the banner of Tableeghi Jamaat. He also founded the clothing brand J. (Junaid Jamshed) and became a well-known religious scholar and naat khawan before his tragic death in a plane crash in 2016.
Junaid Jamshed rose to fame in the late 1980s and 1990s with hit songs like "Dil Dil Pakistan" and "Aitebar." His transformation from a pop icon to an Islamic preacher was one of the most notable religious conversions in Pakistani public life. He became associated with the Tableeghi Jamaat and travelled extensively for dawah work. He passed away on December 7, 2016, when PIA Flight 661 crashed near Havelian, and he was widely mourned across Pakistan.
