Zayn Malik, on the work front, is currently gearing up for his fourth solo album. The handsome hunk has been teasing about the same on his social media accounts for the last few days. This comes amid Selena Gomez unfollowing on Instagram. Sources, however, claimed that there are no hard feelings between the two.
Circling back to Zayn Malik’s opinion on religious beliefs, as per The Independent, the singer stated, “I’m not professed to be a Muslim. I believe whatever people’s religious beliefs are is between them and whoever or whatever they’re practising.” The British crooner continued, “I don’t believe you need to eat a certain meat that’s been prayed over a certain way, I don’t believe you need to read a prayer in a certain language five times a day. I don’t believe any of it.” Zayn added, “I just believe if you’re a good person everything is going to go right for you.” The singer, who was raised by Muslim parents in West Yorkshire, further said that he hesitates discussing his faith as it “becomes a religious f***ing debacle of philosophers.”
