Скачать или смотреть Muslim-Americans mark Night of Power, Laylat al-Qadr, in metro Detroit mosque in Sept. 2008

American Muslims hold special prayers for the Night of Power, Laylat al-Qadr, inside the Unity Center mosque in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, on Sept. 26-27, Friday-Saturday, 2008. They beseech God, Allah, for forgiveness and conduct special prayers throughout the night, on which Muslims believe the beginning of the holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammed through angel Gabriel. In this video, an American Muslim asks God for forgiveness. In the photographs, people pray and later gather for a community breakfast before dawn. Night of Power ceremonies, known as Eyhaa, or revival, are increasingly popular in metro Detroit, where the Muslim community has grown in recent years. Some stay inside the mosque for the last 10 days of Ramadan, a retreat known as itikaf. They sleep inside the masjid for the 10 days and depend on food from others during that time.
