Akon performs Umrah, says Islam is key to my success
World famous African-American singer and songwriter, Akon, has visited the Makah to perform this year’s Umrah.
While performing the Umrah, he disclosed that Islam is the only key to success. He stressed that all his success came from Allah and then Islam.
The popular singer who has many tracks in English to himself said in an interview, “The reason behind my success is faith on Almighty Allah and by following Islam.”
Akon was seen at Makah with either his family members or his close friends. Many of his pictures have gone viral on the social media.
To the dismay of his fans who did not know that Akon is a Muslim, the pictures and videos of him making Tawaaf – walking round the holy mosque- kept them shocked.
Akon was born into a Muslim family in St Louis
