Thousands of Muslims gathered at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque for the first Friday prayers of Ramadan, filling the mosque and surrounding areas in an atmosphere of devotion and spiritual reflection.

From early morning, worshippers from across the capital arrived to participate in Juma prayers, a highlight of the holy month of fasting, self-discipline, and increased worship.

The main prayer hall reached full capacity, with many arriving early to secure a spot, while others offered prayers in the mosque’s courtyards. The congregation stood shoulder to shoulder, seeking blessings and forgiveness during this sacred time.
