Raudhatul Jannah stretches from the Prophet’s former house, now beneath the famous green dome of the mosque, to his original minbar (pulpit), making it a deeply significant location for worshippers visiting Medina.
Sharing the clip with fans on his Instagram page, Asake kept his message short but meaningful, writing: “Alhamdulillah 🙏🏽,” a phrase that means “praise be to God.”
His post quickly drew attention online, especially coming months after a prophecy circulated on social media claiming the singer would eventually convert to Christianity.
While Asake did not directly address the prediction, many fans interpreted his pilgrimage and public display of faith as a reaffirmation of his commitment to Islam.
Meanwhile, the holy month of Ramadan in 2026 has seen several Nigerians travel to Saudi Arabia to perform the lesser pilgrimage. Among those spotted in the country are socialite Rahman Jago and influencer Tunde Perry, who are also believed to be observing the spiritual exercise.
