Former professional boxer Mike Tyson and renowned American rapper DJ Khaled were sighted performing Umrah in Makkah this week. The latter shared a glimpse of their visit on Instagram with a heartfelt caption.
"The second I walked into Mecca tears came down my eyes. Tears of joy. My whole life I wanted to go to Mecca to pray and to give gratitude to Allah. I prayed for the world to have more love, life, peace, joy, health and protection for all of us," wrote the lauded singer.
In another Instagram post, Khaled also disclosed that Mike Tyson, who reportedly accepted Islam in 1992 was present at the pilgrimage site too.
"We are on our way to Makkah. Bless my brother Mike Tyson and his father as well. More love more blessings more life for everyone," Khaled captioned the picture in which Tyson and his father are closely standing next to the singer, wrapped in a ehraam.
Earlier this month, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was also spotted in Makkah performing Umrah. Videos of him wearing a rida, izar and face mask went viral.
Saudi journalist Saud Hafiz also confirmed his presence on Twitter: "Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan performed Umrah in Mecca today. May Allah SWT accept his Umrah, Ameen."
