Author: Peter Sanders
ISBN: 978-0955710605

In The Shade of the Tree is a unique photographic record of a world few outsiders gain access to and fewer still understand in any depth. All the words accompanying these remarkable images come from the Qur’an, the Prophet Muhammad, spiritual masters or the photographer himself.
Offers images of Muslim life around the globe. This work contains exterior shots of mosques, including Beijing's 1,000-year-old Niujie Mosque and Al-Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem, as well as portraits of individuals. It includes photos from much of the Muslim world, including West Africa, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Turkey.

About the Author
Peter Sanders is a British photographer. His works focus on the Muslim community around the world, especially on their traditional and spiritual aspects. Having more than four decades of experience in photography, Sanders is one of the most renowned and respected Muslim photographers in the world
Born in London, Sanders began his career in photography in the mid-1960s, where he often recorded the faces of well-known musicians including Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and The Rolling Stones. In the 1970s, his attention shifted, which led him to the traditional and spiritual universe of Islam. He converted to Islam in 1971. The same year, Sanders was given a unique opportunity to record the warmth of the world's largest worship gathering in Mecca during the Hajj season. These pictures have appeared in major UK and European magazines such as The Sunday Times, The Observer and Paris Match. Sanders travelled around the world to meet and capture the images of saints and sages of Islam which he has later published in a book titled 'Meetings with Mountains'
