Gibreel praying to Allah suggests that he comes from a Muslim background. Yet, in movies, he portrays Hindu deities. Although he engages in prayer, there is a sense that his belief in a God of any kind was never very deep to begin with. Notably, eating pork is forbidden in Islam, so Gibreel eating it immediately following his recovery is a deliberately blasphemous act. Alleluia—whose name is an alternative spelling of “hallelujah”—also has a divinely inspired name. Yet, despite how special she seems at the time, she is out of Gibreel’s life almost as soon as she comes into it.
