Photo of a wife acting as an umbrella for her husband in Mecca goes viral

While the 2017 annual Islamic pilgrimage has ended, it seems as though beautiful stories, videos, and photos from this year's Hajj are endless. 

There is one recent photo in particular that has drawn a different reaction from the public in the past few days. 

During Eid Al-Adha, a photo of a niqab-wearing woman providing shade to a man in the holy city began making the rounds online. 

The photo - taken by Saudi photographer Raeid Allehyani - was originally shared via Twitter by Allehyani on Sept. 2 with a caption that reads: 

"He used to call her the moon, so she eclipsed the sun for him." 

His tweet garnered over 10,000 re-tweets at the time of writing. 

The photo ultimately went viral after Twitter user @mohdahmedmemon - a Muslim account preaching Islam - shared it to the social media platform.

"Today in Makkah a wife hides her husband from sun. One of the most beautiful images recently taken [sic]," he wrote.

His tweet, which was shared publicly on Sept. 3, has received over 28,000 re-tweets and over 22,000 favorites at the time of writing.

The photo has drawn mixed reactions from the public. Many referred to it as a genuine act of love, while others believed it to be a true depiction of misogyny. 

Fahed, the praying man in the photo: "About the photo that went viral on Twitter, thank you for this photo... That's me and the family."
