(Web Desk) – Indian famed rapper and singer Yo Yo Honey Singh disclosed that he has learned about Islam through spiritual leaders and Sufis.
He said his understanding of faith was improved by discovering the Islamic values and learning a lot from them.
Talking about his early years, he says he moved to Mohali, Punjab in 2007 and was involved in music industry but was not popular as he is now.
It was remotely that time when, he said, he met religious scholar and Sufis who talked about religion in such a way that enhanced his curiosity.
He says he gained a deep understanding of Islam learning about Prophet Moses and Jesus and also about the role of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
He attentively listened to the teachings, especially about the portrayal of Jesus in the Quran.
