Dubai: UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi gave a beautiful present from space on Laylat Al Qadr, known as the Night of Power during Ramadan. The gift was a video of Mecca and Madinah lighted up at night, with the Grand Mosque glowing brightly.
On the auspicious nights of the holy month, the Najmonaut (Arab astronaut) who is now on the International Space Station (ISS) and is currently on the longest Arab space mission delivered it as a gift intended for “Salman’s children,” alluding to King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia.
The video displays Mecca and Madina completely lighted up as well as the spectacular images of the Grand Mosque, the Muslim religion’s holiest site, gleaming brightly.
Jeddah and other locations in the Kingdom are also included in the film by Al Neyadi.
