Pakistani superstar Atif Aslam has recently come under criticism from fans for blending religious hymns with popular songs during his concerts.
Best known for his romantic hits, Aslam’s rendition of the spiritual piece “Tajdar-e-Haram” has gained immense popularity, leaving a deep impact on listeners.
Aslam often talks about his religious upbringing and incorporates spiritual themes into his career, despite being a mainstream singer.
He enjoys a wide fanbase in both Pakistan and India and is highly regarded for performing live without relying on lip-syncing.
However, some fans have raised concerns about the format of his recent concerts. In a video shared on social media, Aslam is seen performing the Hamd “Allah Hoo,” followed by Punjabi songs like “Mundiyaan Toh Bachke” and “Mera Piya Ghar Aaya,” and ending with “Tajdar-e-Haram.” One user criticized this combination, arguing that it is inappropriate to mix religious hymns with secular music.
The video sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans expressed disappointment, with one saying, “As a singer myself, I was shocked.
Another commented, “This is shameful—Atif Aslam should be boycotted.” Others defended him, while some pointed out that music itself is forbidden in Islam. The controversy has left his fanbase divided over whether it is appropriate to combine religious and secular elements in his concerts.
