The singer added although he had a 'spiritual belief' of a god, that he did not endorse Islam religious practices such as daily prayer and eating halal meat.

He said: '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 added that he plans to move through his life in a 'nice way' and that his core belief is that he is behaves well, he will get treated the same. 

The star said that it was 'really easy' for him to drop the religion with his family, after previously attending mosque and studying Islam while growing up.

He said his parents had always given him and his siblings the option to choose for themselves, and added that was pleased to have built his life around Islam.

Zayn's father Yaser is British-Pakistani and his mother Trisha converted to Islam when she met him, with the couple raising their children Muslim.

The star's revelation has sparked a backlash online from fans. He was previously one of the world's most notable Muslims.

The former One Direction star previously said of his religion: 'I take a great sense of pride — and responsibility — in knowing that I am the first of my kind, from my background.

Over: Speaking to British Vogue , the former One Direction singer, 25, said he is not a practicing Muslim anymore and no longer believes in the religion

'I'm not currently practising but I was raised in the Islamic faith, so it will always be with me, and I identify a lot with the culture. 

'But I'm just me. I don't want to be defined by my religion or my cultural background.' 

In August Zayn celebrated Eid al-Adha, also called the Festival of Sacrifice, with his family and supermodel girlfriend Gigi Hadid, 23.    

Eid al-Adha marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage - which is one of the five pillars of Islam - and Muslims celebrate the day with food, gifts, prayers and family gathering    

Gigi, who also celebrated Eid with Zayn's family last year, was raised Muslim by Jordanian-American father Mohamed Hadid and Dutch-American mother, Yolanda.

'He was always religious, and he always prayed with us. I am proud to be a Muslim,' Bella told Porter magazine.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
