EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ammar Awad, Muslim women are seen deep in prayer during Laylat al-Qadr, the holiest night of Ramadan. The serene atmosphere is heightened as they gather in front of the iconic Dome of the Rock, situated on the compound known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as Temple Mount. The image beautifully encapsulates the spiritual significance and unity that permeates Jerusalem's Old City during this sacred time. As rays of golden sunlight filter through ancient architectural marvels, a sense of tranquility envelops these devout worshippers. Laylat al-Qadr holds immense importance for Muslims worldwide as it commemorates the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad. It is believed that prayers offered on this blessed night hold great reward and forgiveness. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of religious diversity coexisting within Jerusalem's historic walls. While tensions may exist between different faiths over their claims to this revered site, moments like these highlight shared devotion and reverence for spirituality. Ammar Awad masterfully captures not only an awe-inspiring scene but also invites viewers into a world where faith transcends boundaries and unites people from all walks of life. This image stands testament to humanity's collective pursuit of divine connection amidst cultural differences, reminding us that our similarities far outweigh our divisions.
