Fajr prayer
Umayyad Mosque in Damascus is the fourth holiest site in Islam. One of the four authorized copies of the Quran was kept here, and the head of the Islamic prophet Yahya is believed to be in the shrine. It is also holy to very Shia Muslims since there are shrines commemorating Husayn ibn Ali and the Ahl al-Bayt, made to walk here from Iraq, after the Battle of Karbala. Furthermore, it was the place where they were imprisoned for 60 days. Umayyad Mosque is also the place where Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) will return from the Minaret of Isa in the mosque. The Minaret of Isa in the Umayyad Mosque is dedicated to Islam's penultimate prophet Isa (Jesus), and it is believed that he will return to the world at the minaret during the time of a Fajr prayer and it is believed that he will pray at the mosque with the Islamic leader of that time "Mahdi". It is believed that prayers in the mosque are considered to be equal to those offered in Jerusalem.
