Celebrities who will be performing Hajj this year

The stars took to social media to share about the blessing

Hajj is a time where Muslims irrespective of their race, colour or nationality collectively partake in the rituals. Many notable local and international celebrities have performed the Holy pilgrimage over the years and 2019 will be no different.

Renowned personalities such as Hamza Ali Abbasi, Atif Aslam, Feroze Khan and Ayeza and Danish Taimoor among others, will be heading to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia this month. All stars took to social media to make the announcement.

"Happy to share something very big with all of you. Insha Allah I’ll be leaving soon for the most important journey of my life," the singer shared on Facebook. "Before departing for Hajj, I would like to ask for everyone’s forgiveness, be it fans, family, friends. Apologies for hurting anyone’s sentiments. Kindly keep me in your prayers."

Aslam also condemned India's ongoing brutality in occupied Kashmir.

"Also I strongly condemn the violence and tyranny being conducted against the Kashmiris. May Allah bless lives of the innocent in Kashmir and all over the world," he added.
