EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tigris River, flowing gracefully through the heart of Iraq, is home to a unique and historically significant site: The Tomb of the Prophet Ezra at Al-'Uzair. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the serene and sacred surroundings of the tomb, nestled on the banks of the river. The present structures, which are approximately 250 years old, are a remarkable testament to the rich cultural heritage and interfaith harmony that once thrived in this region. The enclosing wall and the striking blue-tiled dome, adorned with intricate Islamic calligraphy, are shared by both Muslim and Jewish communities, reflecting the deep-rooted respect and shared history between these two faiths. The tomb itself is believed to be the final resting place of Prophet Ezra, a revered figure in Jewish tradition who is said to have led the Jewish exiles back to Jerusalem in 538 BC. The separate synagogue, located nearby, stands as a symbol of the coexistence and mutual reverence that once existed between the Muslim and Jewish communities in Iraq. The tranquil waters of the Tigris River, reflecting the image of the sacred site, add to the ethereal beauty of this spiritual haven. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical and cultural significance of the Tomb of the Prophet Ezra at Al-'Uzair, and the interfaith harmony that once flourished along the banks of the Tigris River in Iraq.
