EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the momentous journey of the Holy Carpet as it is carried from Mecca back to Cairo in the early 20th century. The Holy Carpet, a significant relic in Islamic history, is believed to have been first taken to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia during the Prophet Muhammad's time. Every year since then, the carpet is meticulously cleaned, repaired, and blessed during the Hajj pilgrimage. In this image, a large crowd of men, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, can be seen carrying the intricately designed carpet on their shoulders. The desert landscape stretches out behind them, providing a stark yet beautiful contrast to the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the carpet. The camels and horses in the background add to the sense of adventure and tradition that surrounds this annual event. The Holy Carpet is then transported back to Cairo, the cultural and historical center of Egypt, where it is housed in the Al-Azhar Mosque. The journey of the carpet is a testament to the deep-rooted faith and traditions of the Islamic community, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that connects millions of Muslims around the world. This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a unique glimpse into a significant moment in Islamic history and provides a fascinating insight into the customs and traditions of the past. The Holy Carpet continues to be an important symbol of faith and unity for Muslims, and its annual journey from Mecca to Cairo remains a source of inspiration and wonder for generations to come.
