The makers of Coke Studio 12 recently gave fans a sneak peek into the making of Wohi Khuda Hai, featuring Atif Aslam.
In the recently released behind the scenes (BTS) footage, Aslam dedicates his rendition of the hamd to his five and half year old son, Ahad Atif Aslam.
“I’d like to dedicate this to my son. He’s five and a half years old and when he grows up, he’ll listen to this and feel happy that his father recited a hamd. And I hope he understands what I said; I hope he interprets and finds…finds his own journey and Allah Ta’ala.”
