The Plain of Arafat

The Plain of Arafat on the day when all those taking part in the Pilgrimage gather to commemorate the last Sermon made by the Prophet Muhammad from the Mount of Mercy (centre). Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin portrays these crowning moments in the life of men, rich and poor, from places as far apart as Malaysia and Mali, Nigeria and Japan, Indonesia and Iraq.
He was among the first to be given permission to photograph sections of the Sacred Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina.
