  • Features Editors: Paris: Kate Millar +33 1 4041 4636 Hong Kong: Liz Thomas +852 2829 6211 Twitter: @AFPfeature Around the planet many of our great cities have fallen silent with almost half of the world in confinement in the battle against COVID-19. But in some places in the Middle East, the sound of the muezzins calling the faithful to prayer five times a day resonates even louder now, soaring from the minarets above empty streets. As Muslims prepare for the start of the holy month of Ramadan later in April, AFP is publishing a series of photos and videos, as well as four text stories, asking muezzins in Jerusalem, Damascus and Baghdad, as well as an imam in Cyprus, how they were drawn to the unique roles they play in the Islamic faith. We are offering the following items: + From Baghdad's mosques, calls to pray echo but don't quite match + At Syria mosque, group recital of prayer call 'runs in the blood' + Jerusalem Al-Aqsa muezzin echoes 500 years of family tradition + Cyprus imam revives island's historic Islamic sites Islam-religion-Iraq,FOCUS BAGHDAD Centuries after Islam's historic schism crystallised in Iraq, Sunni and Shiite muezzins in its capital chant subtly different calls to prayer -- just a few minutes and streets apart. 750 words by Khalil Jalil. Pictures and video by Ayman Henna Islam-religion-Syria,FEATURE DAMASCUS, Inside the Syrian capital's Great Umayyad Mosque, six muezzins sit before a loudspeaker, collectively reciting the call to prayer that can be heard across the ancient quarters of Damascus. 800 words by Rim Haddad. Pictures are by Louai Beshara. Video by Youssef Karwashan Islam-religion-Israel-Palestinians,PROFILE JERUSALEM As the rising sun gently begins to illuminate Jerusalem's golden Dome of the Rock and the city slowly awakens, Firas al-Qazzaz's hypnotic voice echoes softly through the Old City. 800 words by Guillaume Lavallee and Joe Dyke. Pictures by Ahmad Gharabli. Video by Ahmad Gharabli and Ahikam Seri Islam-religion-Cyprus,INTERVIEW LARNACA, Cyprus Like the pink flamingos that winter on the salt lake nearby, most worshippers at the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque in Cyprus have travelled from afar. The fact they are praying at the pilgrimage site at all is largely thanks to Shakir Alemdar, a Cypriot imam determined to revive key Islamic places of worship on the divided Mediterranean island. 750 words by Campbell MacDiarmid.
