Zee TV introduces viewers to the world of Kabeer and Zara who are grappling with the issue first-hand in its new fiction offering, Ishq Subhan Allah. Based in Lucknow, Kabeer and Zara are both devout followers of Islam, who happen to interpret the ‘Quraan’ very differently. Ishq Subhan Allah urges people to re-examine their own perspective on religious practices and codes of conduct and bring an element of rationality to the way they understand and apply religion to their lives.
Essaying the role of the confident and free-willed Zara is the beautiful actress Eisha Singh who will be joined by actor Adnan Khan playing the character of the intelligent, scholarly yet traditionally bound male protagonist Kabeer Ahmed.
Eisha Singh says, “It is great to be back on Zee TV after a year. Ishq Subhan Allah is a unique concept with a strong message. Zara is a strong and confident woman who doesn’t fear any consequences and isn’t afraid to ask the right questions. She is deeply rooted in her religious teachings of the holy Quran but applies them intelligently to life with logical reasoning. Zara is progressive but she isn’t a rebel or an atheist. She has studied Islam in depth and stands up against the misinterpretation of its teachings. Even though we might have progressed as a nation, there are situations where we fall prey to certain customs and traditions set by the society for us to follow. I strongly relate to Zara’s character and hope viewers can resonate with her ideology too. Moreover, I am really excited to play such a strong character and I hope that the audience will enjoy watching this side of me.”
Actor Adnan Khan adds, “Kabeer’s character is of a young Maulvi with a thorough understanding of Islam. While he is very traditional and culture-driven, his personality and outlook are extremely different from Zara’s. Being a Muslim, I could easily adapt myself to certain aspects of Kabeer’s character which helped me a lot during my preparation. In fact, I could also strongly relate to his inner instincts and religious traits as I am extremely religious in real life, albeit with a modern touch. The concept of the show is extremely engaging and I am looking forward to this exciting new journey.”
Deepak Rajadhyaksha, Deputy Business Head, Zee TV said, “We started 2018 with the launch of two beautifully curated shows, Aap Ke Aa Jaane Se and Kaleerein – each of which has touched upon a contemporary Indian reality and is sensitizing the masses about the same. Our next primetime fiction offering belongs to the Muslim social drama space that we had, ourselves, pioneered with Qubool Hai, a show that enjoyed an immensely successful run of two seasons. Ishq Subhan Allah asks viewers to pause and reflect on the true interpretation of religion in our daily lives. It questions the true importance we accord to a woman’s choice in every decision that a couple makes, including entering the institution of marriage as also ending it with dignity.
