EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the haunting beauty of the ancient ruins of Ar Raqqah, also known as Rakka, in Syria. Once a thriving city and the former capital of the Abbasid Caliphate under the reign of Harun al-Rashid around 800 AD, Ar Raqqah was a center of culture, learning, and commerce. Harun al-Rashid, one of the most famous Abbasid caliphs, is best known in the West for the tales of "One Thousand and One Nights." The ruins in this photograph date back to the 19th century, long after the decline of the Abbasid Caliphate. The city was destroyed and rebuilt numerous times throughout history, including during the Mongol invasion in 1258 and the Ottoman conquest in 1512. By the time this photograph was taken, circa 1835, Ar Raqqah was a shadow of its former glory. The ruins depicted in the image include the remains of the ancient city walls, the citadel, and various other structures. The desolate landscape, dotted with the remnants of a once-great civilization, serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of human achievements. Ar Raqqah holds immense historical significance, not only for Syria but for the entire Islamic world. The city's rich history and cultural heritage continue to be a source of fascination for scholars, historians, and travelers alike. Today, efforts are underway to preserve and restore the ruins, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the beauty and importance of this ancient city.
