Hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims
Hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims throng Mecca's Grand Mosque, Islam's holiest shrine, gathering around the holy Kaaba, late 20 November 2003 to mark the 27th night of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, known as Lailat al-Qadr, the night when the Koran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed in the year 610 A.D., according to Muslim tradition. Devoted Muslims spend the night reading the Koran and praying. AFP PHOTO/- (Photo credit should read -/AFP via Getty Images)
