EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a Santon, a member of an Islamic devotional sect, immersed in deep contemplation during the annual Moulid celebration in 1737. The Santons, also known as Abdals or Awalim, are a Sufi brotherhood that originated in North Africa and spread throughout the Islamic world. They are renowned for their devotion to the Prophet Muhammad and his family, as well as their commitment to the Sufi path of spiritual development. The Moulid, or the Prophet's birthday celebration, is an essential event in the Santon calendar. During this time, members gather to honor the Prophet through various acts of worship, including recitation of the Quran, zikr (remembrance of God), and communal feasting. The Santon in this photograph is shown holding a miswak, a traditional toothstick made from the aromatic twig of the arak tree, which is used for oral hygiene and is also considered a symbol of purity in Islam. The Santons trace their origins back to the early Islamic period, with some accounts attributing their founding to the Prophet Muhammad himself. Over the centuries, they have played a significant role in the spiritual and cultural life of the Islamic world, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East. Despite facing persecution and marginalization at various points in history, the Santons continue to thrive, preserving their unique traditions and contributing to the rich tapestry of Islamic spirituality. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the devotional practices of a little-known but essential aspect of Islamic history. It serves as a reminder of the diversity and depth of the Islamic faith and the myriad ways in which it has been expressed and practiced throughout the centuries.
