EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured in 1905, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire during the early 1900s. The image depicts a serene scene of young boys and girls engrossed in their studies at an Islamic school, or Madrasa, nestled amidst the tranquil surroundings of cloistered buildings. The Madrasa, a beacon of knowledge and learning, was a cornerstone of Islamic education, where students were taught the Quran, Hadith, and other Islamic sciences. In the foreground, two Dervishes, or Darwesh, engage in their spiritual practices. Dressed in traditional garb, they embody the mystical and contemplative side of the Islamic faith. The Dervishes, known for their whirling dance, or Sama, were revered for their devotion and connection to the divine. The photograph, taken in Turkey, captures the essence of a bygone era, where the pursuit of knowledge and spiritual enlightenment were intertwined. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Islamic education and the enduring influence of Sufi traditions within the Islamic world.
