EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of pilgrims outside the Shrine of Hazrat Ali in Mazar-I-Sharif, Balkh province, Afghanistan. The shrine holds immense significance as it is dedicated to Hazrat Ali, who was tragically assassinated in 661. In this full-length shot, we see a gathering of male worshippers engaged in prayer and spiritual devotion. The image showcases the diversity within Islamic worship practices, with men dressed in traditional clothing and kneeling on vibrant prayer mats spread across the outdoor carpet. Their colorful attire adds an element of visual richness to the scene against the backdrop of contemporary architecture. As these devoted individuals bend down and kneel before their place of worship, their faith shines through their actions. Each person's unique expression reflects their deep connection to Islam and their reverence for Hazrat Ali. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both the religious fervor and cultural customs found within Afghanistan's Muslim community. It serves as a reminder that spirituality knows no boundaries or limitations, transcending geographical borders. Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding skillfully captures this momentous occasion with her lens, allowing viewers to witness firsthand the power of prayer and its ability to unite people from all walks of life.
