The app stitched together images and videos from hundreds of worshippers.
Snapchat's live stories allow users to submit images and video to the service, which are then curated into a live stream. According to the company, "The end result is a Story told from a community perspective with lots of different points view". The service launched the streams in August 2014.
Snapchat users urged the company to livestream the prayers in commemoration of the holiest day of Ramadan, called "Laylat ul Qadr" – known as the "night of power".
Most Islamic scholars deem the night to be when the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by the Angel Jibril (Gabriel).
According to the BBC, more than 300,000 people tweeted the stream, using the hashtag #Mecca_live.
