Religious/pious female leads in Pk drama recommendations?

Hi everyone.

I'm a bengali who enjoys watching Pakistani dramas. The most intriguing female lead heroines for me are the ones that are innocent but very pious; like Sadia Khan's character in Khuda aur mohabbat, Sanam Choudhury's character in Khatputli and/or Maya Ali's character in Shanakth.

I've also enjoyed watching Mein Abdul Kadir hoon, Sher e Zaat and Aik Pal - those dramas include characters discovering their iman.

Would you guys be able to recommend me anymore pakistani dramas that has an innocent but pious female heroine?

Thanks.😊

I remember Rabab Hashmi played a very strong religious character in some drama(not able to recollect the name at this point)...The character started off as a very strong, confident but yet polite and likable person which later transformed into this adamant, preachy type who would put off anybody and everybody in the drama...

I think for a writer its very challenging to come up with a strong religious character without making them preachy, but if there is nothing like it if one is able to achieve it!

EDIT: Got the drama name...Its 'Amanat'!

Thanks for the recommendation. I've read about the drama, but was kind of turned off by the fact it has Noor starring in it - I personally don't think he's a good actor. I can never take that guy seriously.

More recommendations are welcome from you, even if the drama is considered old.

Yeah it's super hard finding good pakistani dramas with humble religious characters. Most dramas today are about love triangles, evil mother in laws, rich loving the poor, and rape victims/survivors and village feudalism😔.

I'll put that on my to watch list😊.

You got any more additional recommendations?

Oh my I just remembered the best of the best 'Meri zaat zarrae benishan' ...When the female lead gets hit by the biggest calamity of her life, she turns towards God and becomes ultra spiritual...The only word of caution is please be prepared to cry your eyes out! No it isn't a tragedy or anything, but her journey from the world towards the God is so beautiful that it will make you cry with joy and happiness!

Saya e Dewar Bhi Nahi also revolved around religious believes. But in this case the lead character after adverse circumstances marries a Christian and then repents. I am not sure if that fits well with your description.

I will think about more 😊
