At the Grand Mosque in Makkah, the two were steeped in piety, yet they were also trying to escape the hot sun, and this confounding moment stuck in Al-Sahli's mind.

His camera was immediately taken out so he could take several photographs of this beautiful and noble brotherly scene. He noted that the sun and the weather were exceptionally hot at the time he took the photos at around 1 p.m.

A picture of a woman shielded from the sun by her husband went viral, which prompted the owner of the photo, blogger Abeer Najjar, to correct the information on her Instagram account.

Abeer said she felt overwhelmed by the love and kind words people have shared about the picture. In addition, the photographer captured this moment between her and her brother during their recent Umrah trip and their final day in Makkah before they left for Madinah.

It was very sunny and warm when we visited the Kaaba in the early afternoon. As I hid behind my brother for a few minutes, the photographer captured this shot from afar."

Abeer did not know about the photos at that time, but realized that they were of them when the photos started circulating online.

"This was an exceptionally special trip for many reasons, so I'm glad we have this photo to remember it and that it's brought joy to so many," Abeer said.
