The image captures a quiet moment where mobile phones become tools of worship—used to listen to khutbahs, read the Qur’an via apps, or set reminders for prayer times.

Through this portrait, the work explores the intersection of tradition and technology, illustrating how modern devices support and reshape the way Muslims engage with their faith. The composition invites reflection on the evolving nature of religious rituals in a digitally connected world, where sacred practices adapt to the pace and tools of modern life.
