Popular comedian Nasra Yusuf has recently faced backlash fire following her comedic video depicting Muslim men during Iftar.

The video depicted what Nasra humorously described as the post-iftar activities of Muslim men.

Iftar, observed during Ramadhan is the meal eaten by Muslims to break their fast after sunset every day during Ramadan.

The video meant to be humorous was however met with much derision and anger from a lot of her Muslim fanbase.

In the one-minute clip, Nasra, who is playing the role of a Muslim man, is seen seated on the couch as her 'wife' serves her a variety of bitings to break the fast.

As the woman of the house asks her husband what more he needs, Nasra, the man here, appears amorous as she asks the wife to turn around sexually.

She then proceeds to usher the woman into the bedroom for what appears to be a sexual session before they both come out - much to the husband's satisfaction.

A thrilled Nasra now settles back into the couch, asking her wife how she now feels.

The clip failed to incite laughter in much of her audience with many fans calling her out for trivializing her religion and seemingly abusing the Muslim community, especially at a season as sacred as the Ramadan.

Here are some of the comments on the video;

Mahamoud Ismail: Nah this is disgusting. Mocking your religion like this isn’t right. Hope the likes and retweets are worth it on the day of judgment

Tasnim: From a Somali sister to another, This is not funny nor is it tasteful. It’s improper and doesn’t align with our values as Muslims. What’s the purpose of creating this sort of content?

Cabdi Korow: Look for better content, this is demeaning and disrespectful, especially during this holy month

 Abdulahi Adan: "Maybe in your world, but in the real world, no one in his right mind will break his fast with the "act." An empty stomach doesn't have time for such things, not to mention the Maghrib prayer one has to observe immediately after breaking the fast...If you are saying this is how we break out fast, you got it wrong!"

In response, Nasra took to X to thank those who found no fault in her craft, reminding everyone that they could simply find a comedian they liked from the pool of Kenya's large comedic community.

"You guys just proved that Love will always surpass hate. Thank you for your support. I know I won’t be funny with every content and I won’t be funny to everyone,

"And that’s why we have over 100 top comedians in the country...find your favorite and support him/her. Sawm maqbul🌙." she wrote.
