- Story Text: Muslims gathered at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque on Wednesday night (March 26) to hold prayers overnight to mark Laylat al-Qadr.
The worshippers crowded the narrow lanes leading to the mosque in the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem, home to the third holiest shrine to Muslims, known to Jews as Temple Mount.
The Waqf, the Jordanian-appointed Islamic organization that manages the complex, placed the number at 180 thousands of worshippers.
For many Muslims, Ramadan - and especially Laylat Al-Qadr, or Night of Power - is an opportunity to enhance one's willpower and begin a journey of spiritual growth through prayers.
It commemorates the night that the prophet Mohammed is believed to have received the first verses of the Quran.
While the exact timing of that night is unknown, it is believed to have most likely fallen on the 27th night of the Muslim month of Ramadan.
