Eritrea Eritrean Feb16 Genuflection Islam Islamic Kern Muslim Phase Pray Prayer Prayers Praying Prays Ramadan Ritual
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the third phase of Ramadan prayers in the ancient city of Kern, Eritrea, during the 1910s. The image showcases a devout Muslim man in traditional attire, deeply engrossed in his prayers during the holy month of Ramadan. The man is seen in a genuflecting position, with his forehead touching the ground in submission and reverence to Allah. The third phase of Ramadan prayers, also known as the "Tahajjud" prayers, are offered during the late night hours, making this moment a poignant representation of the dedication and commitment of the Muslim community in Eritrea to their faith. The mass observance of these prayers is a powerful reminder of the unity and solidarity among the faithful during this sacred time. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the Islamic tradition in Eritrea and the profound connection its people have with their faith. This image is a testament to the enduring nature of religious practices and the transcendent power of prayer.
