Criticism Over Repeated Umrah, TikToker Kanwal Aftab’s Response Goes Viral

Famous Pakistani TikToker Kanwal Aftab has responded to criticism over performing Umrah multiple times, and her reaction has gone viral on social media. Kanwal Aftab and her husband Zulqarnain Sikandar are among Pakistan’s top digital creators, with millions of followers who closely follow their lives and travels.

The couple performed Umrah in March 2025 and are once again in Saudi Arabia during Ramadan to perform Umrah with their family. Their repeated visits to the holy cities have sparked mixed reactions online.

Recently, a social media user questioned Kanwal Aftab, saying, “You have money, that’s why you can go for Umrah again and again.” In response, Kanwal shared a video explaining her point of view. She said that people believe only money allows someone to perform Umrah multiple times, but she feels the reality is different.

Kanwal stated that she has seen people much wealthier than her who never go for Umrah. According to her, having money is important, but intention and sincere desire also play a big role. She added that if someone truly wishes to visit the holy places, Allah makes the way easier for them.

Her statement received strong support from many users who agreed that intention and faith matter the most. They praised her for speaking openly and respectfully about the issue.

However, some social media users disagreed. They argued that money is a major factor, especially for celebrities and influencers who earn well and can easily afford frequent travel. They said that for ordinary people, even performing Umrah once can be financially challenging.

The debate continues online, but Kanwal Aftab’s response has certainly gained attention and sparked discussion about faith, wealth, and intention.
