In this print captured by Ahmad Masood, Muslim pilgrims are seen walking on roads as they make their way to cast stones at pillars symbolizing Satan during the annual haj pilgrimage in Mina. The image was taken on the first day of Eid al-Adha, near the holy city of Mecca, in September 2015. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of faith and devotion as thousands of worshippers gather together on this sacred journey. With an aerial view from above, we witness a sea of unrecognizable faces forming a crowd along the road. The vibrant orange color dominates the scene, creating a striking contrast against the serene sunrise or sunset backdrop. This powerful visual representation showcases both tradition and spirituality intertwined with Islamic beliefs. It is a testament to the deep-rooted religious significance that draws people from all walks of life to embark on this pilgrimage year after year. As these dedicated pilgrims walk towards their destination, one can't help but feel inspired by their unwavering commitment and dedication to worship. This image serves as a reminder of unity among believers and highlights the importance placed upon communal prayer and spiritual reflection within Islam. Ahmad Masood's creative use of perspective allows us to appreciate not only the sheer number of individuals participating in this ancient ritual but also provides insight into its scale and magnitude. Through his lens, he has captured an extraordinary moment that encapsulates both personal devotion and collective reverence for God.
