Pakistani singer Atif Aslam has captured fans' attention with his soulful performance of the iconic qawwali Tajdar-e-Haram.
A video from his live concert at Etihad Arena has gone viral on social media, showing the singer performing the devotional classic barefoot.
Atif, dressed in a black shirt and light blue jeans, delivered the qawwali with his signature emotional vocals while performing alongside his live band.
The singer's decision to take off his shoes during the performance was seen as a respectful gesture towards the spiritual nature of the qawwali and that earned him appreciation from fans online.
Atif Aslam is one of Pakistan's most popular singers, known for his soulful voice and work in pop, romantic and Sufi music.
He rose to fame with the band Jal before establishing a successful solo career and also holds the prestigious Tamgha-e-Imtiaz.
Recently, Atif also made headlines after a video surfaced showing him declining to hold a particular country's national flag during a concert.
The singer later clarified that he does not hold any country's flag during his musical performances and quoted that he prefers to remain neutral as a musician.
