Summary The project was launched by a Bangladesh-born American photographer.

(Web Desk) – “Places You’ll Pray”, a mesmerizing project to collect simple, yet heartening images of young Muslims praying in places outside of a designated prayer area.




Bangladesh-born American photographer Sana Ullah who  is coordinating this project said that overwhelming response is being received as the young Muslims are sharing vibrant pictures, showing their prayer activities by using #PlacesYoullPray on Instagram.




Sana Ullah told BuzzFeed that she got the idea of this project when her family prayed in a dressing room during a visit to mall.




Despite the availability of number of mosques around the United States, Muslims many times utilize different other locations for prayers, she added.




The photographer has also recommended the people around the globe to click those places which they remember praying in the past. She said she also interviews them, asking about their memories of how they came to pray in that location.




She said that she is enthusiastic to "build a bridge of communication about Islam" while embracing her Muslim identity.




Urging the people, the photographer said "You are your own best narrator. You know yourself more than anyone else and you can tell your story the best."
