SALAT DHUHR - BEING FAITHFUL

The Darul Quba mosque is on a little traveled street in the Cedar-Riverside area of Minneapolis. That back area is suffuse with excellent prospects for photo compositions, IMO.

 

I saw this gentleman towards the mosque and in the flat lighting of mid-day he wasn't well-defined with his light robes in the overhead sunlight. So, I waited until he got into the shade of the doorway before I took this photo.

 

As you know, salat is "The ritual prayer of Muslims, performed five times daily in a set form, one of the Five Pillars of Islam.I gathered that since it was noon, the man was on the way to mid-day prayer . . . called dhuhr.

 

Darul Quba also serves as a cultural center and is the site of inter-faith, educational, and social events.
