Details of the Rainfall
The rain began in the afternoon, and its intensity was such that it covered the streets surrounding the Grand Mosque. Worshippers, who were performing their rituals, sought refuge under shadows and covered areas of the mosque due to the sudden downpour. Some of them continued to pray and make supplications despite the rain, and these scenes were notably captured by cameras.
