Samiya Hijab is a prominent Pakistani digital creator, TikTok star, and Instagram influencer who recently gained widespread fame through her appearance on the hit mainstream reality show Tamasha Season 5. As one of the top six finalists, she generated numerous viral moments and significantly expanded her fanbase throughout her time in the house.
Recently, Samiya appeared on Good Morning Pakistan, where she opened up about her Umrah journey and shared how connecting with Allah has positively transformed her life.
Talking about her Umrah pilgrimage, she said, “I was alone in Dubai and stayed isolated in my apartment for six months, using social media and doing Live streams on TikTok. As time passed and wars started, I became deeply depressed. I prayed to Allah because I had no one, and then Allah called me for Umrah. I had a great Umrah experience with my mother and brother. There was a moment when I was holding my mother’s and brother’s hands in Makkah, and everything changed afterward. Umrah was the biggest thing I did for my mother” Here is the link to the video:
While sharing her Riaz ul Jannah memory, Samiya Hijab said, “I remember when I went to Riaz ul Jannah, I was sitting and praying when my fans saw me, recognized me, and hugged me. I started crying so hard while hugging them because, at that time, I was going through a very difficult period. We didn’t know each other, but I became so emotional. I then told my mom, and we stayed there for three hours.” Watch here:
During the show, she also urged people to treat others with kindness to help prevent depression. She added, “We should be kind to social media celebrities. We only see them dressed up in nice clothes, but you don’t know what is going on in their lives. So many people have died by suicide due to media trolling and depression. Aamir Liaquat and Humaira Asghar committed suicide, so we should be empathetic toward friends suffering from depression.” Watch video:
