Millions of worshippers and Umrah pilgrims gathered at Makkah’s Grand Mosque on the 29th night of Ramadan, with attendance surpassing 4.1 million.
The night holds deep religious significance as it marks the completion of the Qur’an (Khatm Al-Qur’an) during prayers, drawing large crowds to the sacred site.
