Last night it rained heavily in Macca as the devout were praying in Masjid al-Haram where Kaaba, the holy place for Muslims all over the world is located.

It gladdened the hearts of everyone as the rain falling in the arid Gulf nation at this time and on the 21^st day of Ramazan is considered a good omen and a sign of heavenly blessings on the humans.

The first night of Ramazan's third 10-day phase called Ashra that is the 21^st Ramazan is considered to be special as Muslims believe the heavenly power can send blessings on the mortals living on earth on this night. They generally look for good omen on all the odd number days of the third Ashra.

The torrential rains started all of a sudden at a time when people were busy in prayers at Kaaba.

This area of ​​Gulf country is a dry region. Despite this, there are reports of rain in the area of ​​Mecca in recent times. This is the second time in Ramazan when the rains lashed the city and brought people respite from the sweltering heat.

Arab News has released a 31-second video of last night's rain. It is seen raining heavily, while people are praying inside the mosque at Kabba.

A thick fall of accumulated water is also seen flowing down from Khana-e-Kaaba.
