Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the great Mosque of Madinah containing the
tomb of the Prophet himself, is one of the two holiest sites in the
Islamic world. Since the Prophet's death thirteen centuries ago,
the mosque has spread outwards from the core of the holy city. At
night, it radiates a powerful light. The tomb itself within the
Prophet's Chamber is a point of pilgrimage for visitors who come in
their millions every year from across the globe. Moath Alofi, who
was born and raised in the city, has witnessed this devotion to the
Prophet all his life. It is natural that Nabawi should become the
title and subject of his first photographic book. From that holy
axis, he has travelled into the greater space of Madinah Province
and has photographed both the desert culture and the vanishing
fabric of the city and its surrounding neighbourhoods. Madinah,
like its holy counterpart, Mecca, is a city in a constant state of
transition. The role of the photographer as an observer of change
becomes all the more important as the pace of transition inevitably
escalates. This book, Nabawi, is a record of the daily life of one
of the great holy sites, and a study in humanity. All manner of
expression and experience are found in the faces of the pilgrims -
the old and young men, women and children - who are touched by the
spirit of the place and by the devotion they have so faithfully
expressed.
