The holy cities of Makkah and Madinah witnessed an overwhelming surge of worshippers as millions of Muslims gathered in the Grand Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) and Masjid an-Nabawi to observe the 27th night of Ramadan, widely believed to be Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Decree).
Unprecedented Crowds Fill the Grand Mosque
From the early hours of the evening, waves of pilgrims and local residents filled every corner of Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, surrounding the Kaaba in deep prayer. The sacred atmosphere was intensified as the Imam of the Haram led long and emotional Qiyam-ul-Lail (night prayers), with supplications that moved the congregation to tears.
Security forces and volunteers were actively managing the massive crowd, ensuring smooth movement inside the mosque. Despite the high number of attendees, arrangements were in place to accommodate worshippers both inside and in the courtyards.

Tears and Devotion at Masjid an-Nabawi
In Madinah, the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi) was equally packed, with thousands raising their hands in dua near the Rawdah Mubarak—the blessed chamber of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The night prayers echoed through the mosque as Muslims sought forgiveness, mercy, and divine blessings.
Dua for the Last Ashra of Ramadan
As Ramadan enters its final Ashra (last 10 days), Muslims seek Allah’s mercy and refuge from Hellfire. The following dua is commonly recited:
Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ
Transliteration: Allahumma ajirni min an-naar
Translation: “O Allah, save me from the Hellfire.”
Dua for Breaking the Fast (Iftar Dua)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to recite the following dua before breaking his fast:
Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَىٰ رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ
Transliteration: Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘ala rizq-ika aftartu.
Translation: “O Allah! I fasted for You, I believe in You, I put my trust in You, and with Your sustenance, I break my fast.”
May your prayers and fasting be accepted in this sacred month.
