Readers' photos: Cloudy skies over beautiful mosques in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah

Gulf News reader and photography enthusiast Raziz Khatoon perfectly captured the sunrays shining through cloudy skies above the Sheikh Zayed mosque. She said: "This was a breathtaking moment for me. As I positioned myself to capture this at the perfect angle, I was simply mesmerised by this spectacular sight. There were huge clouds above the magnificent marble monument. And, the Sun's rays filtered through them, upon the Sheikh Zayed mosque, as if saluting this iconic monument, a symbol of Sheikh Zayed's unique vision."

Alyssa Mae Soriano, a Filipino expatriate based in Dubai, took this picture of the Sharjah mosque one evening. She said: "Captured this display of the mosque's lights from a mile away. The Sharjah mosque is a serene sight I never miss when I jog past or take a stroll at night."
