Seems like your pleas came through, Twitter users! This morning, this appeared on our Snapchat:

WHAAAAT!

Snapchat let Muslims show the world the true image of Islam on the most revered night of Ramadan, and perhaps of the Islamic year: The Night of Destiny.

The Night of Destiny – or Laylat al-Qader – is thought to be the night God bestowed his teachings to the Prophet Mohammed through the angel Gabriel. Muslims have turned to Twitter to express their happiness:

For so long ppl have been judging Islam for what it's not I'm really glad they got to see a glimpse of what it really is #mecca_live #muslim

There's no place for terrorism or compulsion in Islam. Glad people can see the peaceful ones. #mecca_live #snapchat

As a Christian, I got so happy and proud to see #Mecca_live. The Muslim religion is one of peace and faith.

Ramadan Kareem friends.
