Russell Mia commented on a photo card containing news of Ananta Jalil’s financial crisis on a media outlet’s Facebook page. There he reminded people of Ananta Jalil’s 2017 incident — after going on the path of Allah as a companion in Tabligh at that time, Ananta Jalil had announced in front of the media that he was leaving films. Later, however, he returned to acting and producing films.

Russell Mia writes, ‘Dear Ananta Jalil bhai, do you remember that in 2017, after going on the path of Allah as a companion in Tabligh, you announced in front of the media that you were leaving films? Later you started acting in films again.’ Then, referring to his current situation, he writes, ‘Today you have fallen into various worldly complications along with various kinds of mental pressure.’

According to him, if someone does not want to come to the path of Allah willingly, they cannot be forced to follow religion; however, there are warnings in the Quran and Hadith about backing away from that commitment after deciding to walk on the path of Allah’s pleasure. Requesting Ananta Jalil to leave everything behind and return to the Great Lord, he writes, ‘I request you — leaving everything behind, return fully to the Great Lord again.’

In the comment, mentioning the verse of the Holy Quran, ‘O My servants, do not despair of Allah’s mercy,’ Russell Mia urged giving priority to Allah’s pleasure without thinking about people’s criticism or public shame. In his words, ‘All solutions lie with that Great Lord for whom a single humble prostration is much more valuable than the whole world.’
