Quitting Music

As early as 1999, Media had been speculating about Junaid's drift from music soon after the Vital Signs faded away. The speculations soon died after Junaid released his single albums in mere two years and continued world tours. After 2001, Jamshed disappeared from the public eye, and avoided the media attention. His last two albums did not do well in the market and failed to get any positive response from the country's music critics. His former band mates, Shahi and Hyatt, saw him struggling to negotiate the transition from one world to another. Over the years, Junaid distant from Hyatt who continued to work on producing music. Junaid also struggled financially after the Vital Signs, and it was Shoaib Mansoor who came to help him financially after giving him the role in Gulls & Guys television show.

After 9/11 attacks in the United States, Hyatt and Junaid's tours in the West struggled a lot regarding questions from Westerners about country's culture, terrorism, and music. Upon returning, Junaid filed a bankruptcy and made a triumphant attempt to push his career in engineering after applying at various companies. Theories regarding Jamshed began to arise in media, therefore media outlets hired as much as paparazzi to follow Jamshed. It was highly reported that Jamshed has distanced himself from music and has been praying five times a day regularly at the nearby mosque. Finally, Jamshed who had been out of practice from his engineering career 20 years ago, announced to open a fashion-designing company with a close friend of his. In 2004, Jamshed officially renounced music and engineering after announcing to devoted his life to Islam. Jamshed renounced engineering and to supplement his income, he opened a clothing store "J.", selling Khaadis (a form of Kurta-Shalwar).

Mansoor directed and also wrote the script of film Khuda Kay Liye, which was an ultimate success in the country. Mansoor also remained that the film was inspired on Junaid's life, and offered him a lead role in place of Shaan Shahid. When offered the role, Junaid maintained that he will "shave his beard" for the film and the role for Junaid Jamshed was written by Mansoor. Junaid later refused to be a part of the film and Mansoor maintained that: "Responses like this one convinced people that Jamshed was not certain about his future, and that the Islamist experience was just a phase."

Nonetheless, Junaid does sing in some circles, privately, that is. Guitarist, Bilal Maqsood of Strings, held an annual open-mic jam session at his home. At Maqsood's party, one attendee remembered that: "But once he (Junaid) started singing, he just couldn't stop. He was having so much fun singing, he was on a roll." Maqsood maintained that later in the night he dropped his wife Ayesha home and then came back to sing some more. Junaid Jamshed was one of the last people to leave that evening.
