EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ali Hashisho, we witness the profound dedication of a Musaharati in Sidon's Old City, located in southern Lebanon. The image portrays the Musaharati striking his drum with fervor, awakening observant Muslims for their pre-dawn meal known as sahur. It is a poignant reminder of the spiritual significance and discipline observed during Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. As dawn approaches on August 11,2010, this dedicated individual carries out his sacred duty to ensure that fellow Muslims are awakened before sunrise to partake in their last meal before commencing their day-long fast. With unwavering commitment and rhythmical beats resonating through the narrow streets of Sidon's ancient cityscape, he plays an integral role in preparing individuals for a day filled with self-reflection and devotion. During Ramadan, millions of Muslims worldwide abstain from eating, drinking fluids, and engaging in sexual relations from sunrise to sunset. This period serves as a time for deep introspection and strengthening one's connection with Allah. Through acts of fasting and prayerful contemplation throughout this holy month, believers seek purification of both body and soul. Ali Hashisho skillfully captures not only the cultural richness but also the religious essence embedded within this powerful moment. As viewers immerse themselves into this evocative photograph print by Reuters Images©️ , they are reminded of humanity's diverse expressions of faith while simultaneously appreciating its universal pursuit
