The Worshippers, by Waseef Akhtar
This photograph was taken at Al-Masjid al-Haram during Isha on an ordinary day in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Al Masjid al-Haram (“The Sacred Mosque”) is the largest mosque in the world that surrounds the Ka’aba, the place which Muslims worldwide turn towards as unique direction while offering daily prayers. It is Islam’s most holiest place.

I cannot agree with you. I cannot!
Yes it’s a crowd, but each person you see there suppose to visit that place only once in their lifetime. And going there one spent lifelong earning.
Look at them, very carefully again, each one has a different story. How many people on earth spent their life earning to visit a place just once in life!
2006, I went there, during hajj after I accepted Islam. more than 3.5 millions people that day,i believe! Only thing I remember was crying and asking forgiveness to Allah.
OK!!! 3.5 millions !!!
I sat and looked at this photograph for a good fifteen minutes trying to understand what made it the “photograph of the month,” and I never came to a conclusion.
Please do not take offense, but anyone with a decent camera can shoot a crowd of people.
I find this picture boring and void of organization. If I am missing something, please enlighten me.
Kind Regards,
