On the fourth of the five odd nights of the last decade of Ramadan, devout worshipers embarked on Ibadat Bandegi, seeking Lailatul Qadr, the Night of Decree. This year, the Prophet's Mosque and the Grand Mosque of Makkah witnessed significant crowds of pilgrims, as reported by Gulf News on Sunday.
Umrah pilgrims gathered in the courtyard of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, seeking the blessings of Lailatul Qadr, the night when the Holy Quran is believed to have been revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This auspicious night holds immense significance in Islam.
According to the General Authority of the two mosques, approximately 2.5 million worshipers performed prayers at the Grand Mosque and Masjid al-Nabawi. The vicinity around the Grand Mosque witnessed a memorable gathering of worshipers covering an area of more than 2 km.
Social media platforms displayed striking images of worshipers during the 27th Ramadan prayers, including Taraweeh prayers, performed throughout the holy month. Similarly, reports indicated large congregations at Masjid al-Nabawi in Madinah, as worshipers fervently sought the blessings of Lailatul Qadr.
