As Akon performed Umrah, the images of this star icon became viral at many social media platforms on Tuesday, at midnight.
Many well-known Islamic preachers shared his picture on their social media profiles and pages. They congratulated him on visiting the house of Allah, Kaaba at Makkah, for Umrah. He was observed with his close friends and sometimes with his family members while he was in Makkah.
A variety of his images with various people got spread on all the social media sites. Among these social places, various videos are known to be uploaded on YouTube by diverse sources.
For the moment when he was at Makkah for Umrah, a lot of people even weren’t aware of the fact that Akon is a Muslim. Due to this, people behaved crazily when they watched his videos surrounding Tawaaf, i.e., walking around Kaaba.
They were unaware of the fact that Akon belongs to a Muslim family. He was born to them on the 16th of April, 1973 in St. Louis. He further added that now when he is blessed by Allah almighty in terms of wealth, he should spend it by helping the needy ones to achieve the path of heaven.
