Places You’ll Pray is a photo series of young American Muslims praying in public spaces outside of a mosque, and now features people from around the world. Each image is paired with a quote from the subject speaking of a specific memory pertaining to prayer, or the importance of prayer to that specific individual.
In speaking with the author of the series, Sana Ullah says:
We tend to fear what we don’t know and so I hope that a simple image of a man or woman praying in a location outside of the mosque will spark curiosity to question one’s current perspective. I hope that an image of someone in prostration will lead the viewer to engage himself/herself in an educated conversation about Muslims, Islam, America, and identity itself.
If I can get one person— at least one —to see Muslims and/or Islam in a more positive perspective, I have succeeded in my goal.
Here are some of our favourites from her series:
