A touching video of a man with Down syndrome offering tissue to a person crying next to him during a prayer meeting has gone viral.

The video which was posted in 2018, resurfaced Tuesday after a Twitter user, Annie Malik, shared it. As of writing, it has garnered around 1.8 million views and continues to gain comments of support and praise for the man.

In the clip, the man with Down syndrome is seen sitting in the middle of a crowded prayer gathering. As he prayed, he noticed the man next to him weeping, prompting him to pull out a tissue and offering it to the man as those around them continued to pray.

The video shows the heartfelt moment between two men, winning the hearts of people all over the world.

“He pulled out tissue in mid-prayer because the person next to him was crying. People with Down syndrome are so purely beautiful,” Malik said in the caption.

In the comments section of the tweet, commentators claimed the video to be captured in Mecca, an Islamic pilgrimage site in Saudi Arabia.

While some praised the man's kind and generous act, others noted that it was a prime example of care and empathy. People who were moved by the video called it "the most heartwarming video ever" on Twitter.

A similar video of a young boy singing to his baby brother with Down syndrome went viral last year. Nicole Powell posted a video of her seven-year-old son Rayce singing '10,000 Hours' to her 18-month-old son, Tripp, on Facebook. Powell's youngest son was born with Down syndrome, and her family has made it their mission to use social media to actively promote positivity and awareness about the condition, reported In The Know.

According to the NHS, a person with Down syndrome is born with an extra chromosome. There is some degree of learning difficulty in people with this condition.
