In Damascus, thousands gathered at the historic Umayyad Mosque to perform their first Friday prayers following the overthrow of the Assad regime. The mosque’s courtyard was filled with worshippers and opposition soldiers, who celebrated liberation with takbirs and slogans.
Syria’s new flag waved prominently, symbolizing the nation’s fresh chapter. The Umayyad Mosque, an iconic site dating back to 714, holds deep spiritual significance in Islamic tradition, believed to be the place of Jesus Christ’s return before the Day of Judgment.
