Young Man in Prayer. Qubbat as-Sakhra, Masjid al-Aqsa, Jerusalem. 1992.“The image expresses the fluid beauty of devotion in Muslim prayer. Raíed came to the mosque every day after school and practiced his memorization of the Qur’an in a spine-tingling melodious voice that reverberated off the walls that I was photographing from high up on scaffolding.” Saïd Nuseibeh.

Images taken in mosques often feature the derriere of the worshipper; a derogatory view to Muslims. It may be that since many photographers are not Muslim, gatekeepers restrain them at the door, usually in the rear of a mosque. In that position, there is very little else to photograph but people’s backsides. In reality, the act of devotion is resplendent with self-effacing nobility, gentle reverence, and communal spirituality.
