EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, Muslim women gather in prayer before the majestic Dome of the Rock, situated on the compound known as Noble Sanctuary to Muslims and Temple Mount to Jews. The image captures a momentous occasion during Laylat al-Qadr, an auspicious night of worship for Muslims, in Jerusalem's historic Old City. The crowd of worshippers is bathed in a soft golden glow that emanates from the elevated view surrounding them. Although their faces remain unrecognizable, their devotion is palpable as they bow down in prayer. This creative use of lighting adds an ethereal touch to the scene, enhancing its spiritual significance. The Dome itself stands tall and proud against the night sky, symbolizing centuries of faith and pilgrimage for believers around the world. Its grandeur serves as a beacon for those seeking solace and connection with God. This photograph not only showcases a place of worship but also highlights religious harmony amidst diverse beliefs. It reminds us that despite differing traditions and interpretations, people can come together in reverence at sacred sites like this one. Ammar Awad's powerful lens has captured both the beauty and serenity found within this momentous gathering. It serves as a testament to humanity's unwavering commitment to faith and spirituality across cultures.
