A video of Shaheen Shah Afridi offering prayer in Masjid-e-Nabwi has gone viral on social media. The star cricketer was recently in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah.
The cricketer had shared his picture of wearing Ahram- white sheets worn by men to perform Umrah. Pictures and videos of him praying inside and in the courtyard of Masjid-e-Nabvi are circulating on social media.
