As Ramadan's purpose is to focus on spirituality we should all pray for peace, stability and fertility

I can really feel them

The photography is excellent here, I can really feel them praying as if I'm watching it live in a Promo video . Hope they have an easy fast throughout Ramadan month.

Awesome pics

Look at that beauty! Those pictures are really lovely. Each picture has great composition of colors as well as each photo says some story. That is how it should be on http://lastlongerguide.com/. Hopefully they will include new pics there as well.

stunning

Such compassion is compelling and its great to see that at least some of it is captured with these pictures. Would be great to see more of it, but i also feels its their time, and a time they deserved; almost like an exhalted state of religion, so i won't be upset if none more are presented as that event is more than likely best for their eyes and prayers only.
