    Thousands of people turned out at the Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab Grand Mosque and mosques elsewhere in the country last night to observe a midnight prayer.

    Tuesday night marked the 27th night of the Muslim month of fasting, which is commonly believed to be Laylat al-Qadr (the night of power). And despite previous restrictions, children were in abundance at the State Mosque.

    Did you go out to pray? As Ramadan draws to close, what will you miss most?
