Makkah, March 18, 2026, SPA -- The Grand Mosque witnessed large crowds of worshippers on the 29th night of Ramadan, as visitors from across the Kingdom and around the world gathered to perform Tahajjud prayers on the night marking the completion of Quran recitation during the blessed month.

The sacred space was filled with a deeply spiritual atmosphere of faith, humility, and devotion. The mosque’s corridors and courtyards were filled with worshippers who had arrived hours earlier, seeking the reward and blessings of this special night.

Beautiful recitations of the Quran echoed throughout the mosque as worshippers stood in long rows, in a moving scene that reflected the unity of Muslims. In moments of profound devotion, prayers blended with tears, and hands were raised to the sky in sincere hope for their prayers to be accepted.
