AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday joined worshippers in performing Isha (evening prayer)  and Taraweeh  (special Ramadan prayer) at Al Hashemiya Mosque in Amman, marking Laylat Al Qadr, the anniversary of the revelation of the Koran to Prophet Mohammad, which Muslims celebrate on the eve of the 27th of Ramadan, according to a Royal Court statement.

The mosque houses the tomb of the late Queen Alia and has been recently renovated at the expense of their Royal Highnesses Prince Ali and Princess Haya.
