Over the years I’ve collected these photos of Muslims praying in amazing and interesting places. And one or two that are simply cute 
When the salat time comes, no matter where they are, they bow their heads in adoration to Allah. Some of them are in places of hardship or discomfort, and some in surroundings that are beautiful, stark or strange. Regardless, they give Allah His due, not minding their circumstances. They inspire us all. May Allah reward them.

Lovely photos, I thought you had actually taken them yourself until I realised I’ve seen half of them of before, lol. Amazing though maashAllah.
There really is no excuse not to pray is there :O).
Oh yeah, I zip all over the world so I can be right there with my camera when a Muslim starts to pray, ha ha. Those first photos of the Muslims praying Jumah in the snow in Kazakhstan… SubhanAllah. Most of us have it easy by comparison.
Brother Wael, Superman, haha, lol.
Whats great is when you’re in Makkah, the adhan goes and everyone stops what theyre doing whether theyre in shops or markets or anywhere. The roads and streets fill up with neatly lined rows of people ready to pray with no fuss. What else other than the call to prayer can manage to organise so many millions of people into straight rows facing the same direction within a minute! Amazing.
Heiii, u all… Plz look at that pictrs… What a amazng togthernershp of muslim peoples… Its power of beleif to ‘allah’..
Hei guys ur attention plz..” there is no god but allah”
