Pakistani Stars Visit Hagia Sophia Mosque in Istanbul

Pakistani stars Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui, Reema Khan, and Sadia Khan visited Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque in Istanbul.

The stars shared the update on their respective social media accounts.

Pakistani stars were accompanied by the team of hit Turkish drama series Dirilis: Ertugrul.

Adnan Siddiqui took to Instagram sharing details of their Hagia Sophia also known as Aya Sophia.

“It was spellbinding to offer prayer at the iconic Hagia Sophia Holy Grand Mosque. It is grand in every sense of the word—history, beauty, political significance”, Adnan Siddiqui.

He also shared a brief account of the grand mosque’s history saying: “A little lesson in history for those who may not be aware. The world-famous Hagia Sophia museum in Istanbul, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, was originally built as a cathedral around 1500 years ago by the Byzantine empire. The architectural marvel was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest in 1453. In 1934, it became a museum”.

“Only in July last year, it became a mosque again and opened for prayer and worship”, Adnan Siddiqui further added.
