Over two million worshipers thronged the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah on Monday, the 27th night of Ramadan, which is widely believed to be Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power. The Two Holy Mosques and their courtyards were overflowing with the faithful who came to offer Isha and the special night prayers of Taraweeh and Qiyamullail, seeking Allah’s infinite blessings, expiation of sins and forgiveness. The Holy Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet (peace be up on him) in the Night of Power which is better than a thousand months. The Saudi authorities have ensured elaborate and flawless security arrangements for the smooth flow of worshipers so as to enable them to spend the night in a highly spiritual and serene atmosphere. -SPA
