on their way to perform the morning prayers (Subuh) within about 45 mins. The main
entrance to the Mosque is on the left. Notice the giant shades in the background are folded

now wide open shielding them from the hot sun

Shadows create the creeps
in certain situations
when one is alone
But shadows can be
a savior from the searing
heat. It provides
shade
Holds true recently
The faithful spared, accorded
much needed comfort
