AINeyadi, who has been on a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station, posted the video on his official Twitter account on Monday. The video captured attention worldwide, as AINeyadi is known for sharing amazing images and videos from space.
In the video, AINeyadi moves the camera towards Madinah and describes it as the city to which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) immigrated with his beloved people. The image shows the twinkling lights of the city and its many roads.
The astronaut then shifts the camera towards Jeddah, referring to it as the Bride of the Red Sea. Finally, he points the camera towards Makkah, calling it the holy city where the message of Islam took root with the Prophet (PBUH).

The former president said that this 19th edition of PITEX is being organised at a time when India is recognised as one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the event organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) the former president, while referring to Punjab, said the state is a living example of courage, sacrifice and enterprise.
"The spiritual light of Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) inspires peace and humanity across the world. The heritage of Punjab is deep and inspiring," Kovind said, according to a statement issued by the PITEX.
