Iranian Shiite Muslims pray around the graves of Iranian Martyrs during a religious ceremony during the holy fasting month of Ramadan, at the Behesht-Zahra cemetery, in southern Tehran, Iran, 06 June 2018. Iranian Muslims spent the night in prayer until early in the morning commemorating Laylat Al Qadr (The Night of Power), which is the anniversary of the night that Muslims believe Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation of the Koran by the angel Gabriel. It is also said that is one of the odd nights of the last ten days of holy month of Ramadan and is better than 1,000 months of worship. Muslims believe that on this night until next morning, the blessings and mercy of Allah is abundant, sins are forgiven, supplications are accepted, and that the annual decree is revealed to the angels who also descend to earth.
