As the call to prayer rang out in Sagaing last Friday, hundreds of Muslims hurried to the five mosques in central Myanmar.
They were eager to hold their last Friday prayers for Ramadan, just days away from the festive period of Eid that would mark the end of the holy month.
Then, at 12:51 local time (06:21 GMT), a deadly earthquake struck. Three mosques collapsed, including the biggest one, Myoma, killing almost everyone inside.
Hundreds of kilometres away, the former imam of Myoma mosque, Soe Nay Oo, felt the quake in the Thai border town of Mae Sot.
In the following days, he found out that around 170 of his relatives, friends and members of his former congregation had died, mostly in the mosques. Some were leading figures in the city's close-knit Muslim community.
"I think about all the people who lost their lives, and the victims' children - some of them are young children," he told the BBC. "I can't hold back my tears when I talk about this."
More than 2,700 people have died in the quake which happened near Sagaing and Mandalay, Myanmar's second city. The death toll is expected to rise as rescuers continue to pull out bodies from rubble.
While the area was known for its ancient Buddhist temples, the cities were also home to a significant Muslim population.
An estimated 500 Muslims died while praying in their mosques, according to figures given by the country's leader, Min Aung Hlaing, on Monday.
Eyewitnesses in Sagaing have told the BBC that the road where the mosques were, Myoma Street, was the worst hit in the city. Many other houses on the street have also collapsed.
Hundreds of people have sought shelter by the side of the road, either because they are now homeless, or are too afraid to go back to their homes in case there are aftershocks. Food supplies are reported to be scarce.
In Myoma alone, more than 60 people were said to be crushed in the collapse, while scores more died in the Myodaw and Moekya mosques. More bodies were still being pulled out on Tuesday.
There are indications that the worshippers had tried to escape, according to Soe Nay Oo, who has received multiple reports from surviving members of his community.
There were bodies found outside of the main prayer hall, he said, in the area where worshippers wash themselves. Some were also found clutching other people's hands, in what looked like attempts to pull them away from the crumbling building.
