RIYADH: Worshippers flocked on Monday night to the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah to perform Qiyam prayers on the first night of the last 10 days of Ramadan.

The atmosphere was marked by spirituality and tranquility as thousands gathered to perform the Taraweeh and Tahajjud prayers.

The Saudi Press Agency’s cameras captured the flow of worshippers from the early hours in the corridors, courtyards, Mataf, and roads leading to the Grand Mosque as they prayed and recited the Qur’an.

The General Authority for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques prepared the various sites and facilities of the Grand Mosque to provide advanced operational services for worshippers and Umrah performers, the SPA reported.

These included cleaning, sterilization, and perfuming operations using specialized tools distributed inside and outside the mosque.
