A statistical infographic published by the channel through its account also indicated the attendance of two million and 624 thousand and 105 worshipers and Umrah performers, without further details.
It is customary throughout the Islamic world to investigate the "Night of Power", the night of Ramadan 27, as it is one of the nights of Witr in the last ten days of the holy month, in which the Prophet of Islam Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is mentioned as the closest to being one of its nights.
