First comment from Hossam Siilawy after the arrest warrant was issued against him

ALBAWABA - Hossam Siilawy faces backlash after controversial remarks and family fallout.

Jordanian singer Hossam Siilawy sparked controversy in recent hours due to his remarks about religion and accusations of apostasy from Islam, along with his attacks on religious figures, whom he described as ignorant. This led to a wave of criticism, especially after his family publicly disowned him.

In his first comment on Instagram, Siilawy wrote: "Praise be to God... God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs. "In the life of everyone who deprived me of seeing my daughter and unjustly accused me, the truth will prevail."

This is Hossam Siilawy's first comment following the issuance of an arrest warrant against him.

Hossam Siilawy's statements about religion

The crisis began when Hossam Siilawy appeared in a live broadcast on his Instagram account, during which he spoke about religion, saying, "I am a Muslim, and I will certainly not renounce my religion. Islam says to read the Quran and take the word from God.

You have never listened to the Quran and tried to understand God. You listen to our sheikh, but the Quran speaks to you in every era. Your problem is that you have blindly followed your parents' beliefs.

Islam and the Quran have revealed many things that are unknown to you, your parents, and my parents. When someone follows an interpretation without having read the Quran, do you know that before the index of the Quran there are about 8 or 9 pages of information about the Quran? Do you know that there are guidelines for the Quran? You only know that God is one, that you are a believer, and that you do not associate partners with God. No, you are associating partners with God when you listen to a sheikh and not listen to God.

You are associating partners with God when you listen to someone because he is religious and do not listen to your own book. "He's just being greedy; why don't you listen and explain?
