EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the selfless act of a Dervish Water Carrier, or Saka, in the historic heart of the Islamic world. The Dervish, a member of a Sufi Islamic religious order, is seen here carrying a large earthenware jug filled with fresh water on his back, ready to distribute it freely to the townspeople. Dressed in traditional white robes and a pointed cap, the Dervish embodies the spirit of charity and generosity that is deeply rooted in Islamic tradition. The practice of Dervish Water Carriers dates back to the 13th century and is still observed in some parts of the Islamic world today. The Sufi Dervishes believed that serving others was a way to draw closer to God and to purify the soul. By providing water to the thirsty and the needy, the Dervishes brought relief and comfort to the community, earning them the respect and admiration of the people. This photograph, taken in the year 1737, offers a rare glimpse into the past and provides a window into the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of selflessness and compassion in the face of hardship. The Dervish Water Carrier's simple act of giving, captured in this historical photograph, continues to inspire and uplift us, reminding us of the profound impact that one person can have on the lives of others.
