1737 Convert Inhabiting Islam Jordan Member Sects Semitic Thereabouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of conversion to Islam for an Edomite, a member of a historic Semitic people indigenous to the region of Jordan and its surroundings. The Edomites, also known as Idumaeans, have a rich and complex history that predates the emergence of the Israelites and the establishment of the Hebrew Kingdom. Their ancient culture is believed to have been influenced by various civilizations, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Nabateans. The Edomites are mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the descendants of Esau, the elder brother of Jacob. Traditionally, they were considered to be enemies of the Israelites, with biblical texts describing their territories as being cursed. However, recent archaeological and historical research has challenged this narrative, revealing a more nuanced understanding of their society and religious practices. This photograph, taken in 1737, depicts an Edomite man embracing Islam, a monotheistic religion that originated in the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century CE. The spread of Islam throughout the Middle East and North Africa brought about significant cultural and religious transformations, including the conversion of various indigenous peoples, such as the Edomites. The conversion process was often marked by a series of rituals, including the recitation of the Shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith, and the wearing of traditional Islamic garments, such as the thobe and keffiyeh. The image of this Edomite man, dressed in a simple white thobe and a red and white keffiyeh, symbolizes the enduring power of faith and the capacity for transformation and adaptation in the face of historical change.
