EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of the Holy Carpet's return journey from Mecca to Cairo in 1912. The Holy Carpet, a significant relic in Islamic history, is one of the most revered objects in the Islamic world. Every year, millions of Muslims embark on the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to perform various religious rituals, including circling the Kaaba seven times. The Holy Carpet is used to cover the Kaaba during this period. After the pilgrimage season is over, the Holy Carpet is carefully transported back to its permanent home in the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Cairo, Egypt. In this image, we see the carpet being carried across the vast and unforgiving desert landscape, surrounded by a procession of camels and horse-drawn carriages. The desert, with its golden sand dunes and endless horizon, adds to the sense of adventure and spiritual significance of the journey. The Holy Carpet has a rich history, with records suggesting that it has been in use since the 6th century. It is believed that the carpet was first brought to Egypt from Yemen by the Umayyad Caliph Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz in 712 AD. Over the centuries, the carpet has been meticulously maintained and preserved, making it a priceless treasure of Islamic history and culture. This photograph is a testament to the enduring faith and devotion of Muslims, who continue to make the pilgrimage to Mecca every year, carrying with them the traditions and history of their religion. The Holy Carpet's journey back to Cairo marks the end of the Hajj season and the beginning of a new year, filled with hope and renewed commitment to their faith.
