Also known as Jumu’ah-tul-Wida. Jumu’ah-tul-Wida (Arabic: جمعة الوداع meaning Friday of farewell, also called al-Jumu’ah al-Yatimah Arabic: الجمعة اليتيمة or orphaned Friday) occurs on the last Friday in the month of Ramadan before Eid-ul-Fitr. Some Muslims regard this jumu’ah as the second holiest day of the month of Ramadan and one of the most important days of the year. Some Muslims spend a large part of their day on Jumu’ah-tul-Wida doing ibadah.

Nice pic! I would like to know from where you clicked this pic? Which Building?
