A sudden and powerful hailstorm struck Islamabad on Tuesday, causing widespread damage across the capital and significantly impacting the iconic Faisal Mosque. Images and videos depicting shattered glass and debris-laden prayer halls made their way to social media, and soon the Faisal Mosque hailstorm incident became a matter of national fascination.

The storm hit without much warning, bringing intense rain and large hailstones that damaged vehicles, smashed windshields, and dented rooftops. Roads across the city were flooded and slippery, leading to traffic chaos. Emergency teams were deployed to clear blocked drains and manage road safety.

Despite the destruction, worshippers continued to offer prayers, displaying remarkable resilience and devotion.

Officials are also now conducting a detailed assessment of the hailstorm damage at Faisal Mosque while the cleanup work is already in progress. Authorities have reassured stakeholders that the restoration will happen without interfering with religious activities.
