Zayn Malik Makes SHOCKING REVELATIONS About Not Being IDENTIFIED As MUSLIM; Says ‘I Don’t Believe You Need To Eat A Certain Meat...’ (Details Inside)

Zayn Malik has always voiced his views, but in 2018, he announced that he no longer identified as a Muslim, which landed him in hot water. The former One Direction member was attacked on the Internet at the time for his remarks. Zayn acknowledged in an interview with a top fashion magazine that he did not believe in any religion and no longer practised religious practices such as daily prayer.

Returning to Zayn Malik's views on religious beliefs, the singer told, “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.”

“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. I just believe if you’re a good person everything is going to go right for you.” He also fails to talk on such topics, “becomes a religious f***ing debacle of philosophers.”

Zayn said, “I just want to keep it between me and whatever I believe. I feel like that makes me move through life in a nice way.” The musician also stated that he found it "really easy" to abandon his beliefs.
