Prayer Concludes, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016 (5)

Description:
Another woman joins in the daff playing. The prayer comes to a stop with a traditional closing prayer. Though the recent prayers have been in Turcoman, a minority language of Kirkuk and surrounding areas, the closing prayer reverts to Arabic. The women move seamlessly from the prayers to easy conversation as the worship concludes.

Description:
In a press conference, Barbara Williams, editor of the Black Law Journal, speaks about the publication as a resource for Black lawyers and how it can help advance equal justice and much-needed change in legal institutions.

Reaction to forced relocation of long-term residents at Veterans Administration domiciliary.

Description:
In January 1972, after the results of a seismic survey determined extensive damage caused by the 1971 Sylmar earthquake, the Wadsworth Hospital, a building on the Veterans Administration site in West Los Angeles, was forced to relocate hundreds of seriously ill patients on short notice. To make room, long-term residents at the site's domiciliary would also need to be relocated. Two women who have been residents at the facility discuss their positive treatment at the hospital and that they understand the decision is being made for the safety of the veterans, but believe the government should have given greater advance notice that they would need to relocate.

Second Story View of the Men at Prayer, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016 (1)

Description:
A boy stands on the second story balcony, watching the men below him listen to the mullah’s sermon. The balcony is a common hideaway for the young boys of the tekiye. They retreat up there to watch their fathers or uncles, to teach each other how to wrap their scarves around their hats properly, to eat the treats that come with a mawlood, or celebration. The walls, painted green, are typical of a tekiye. The mullah is reminding his assembled devotees not to put their heart in anything except God.

The Graves of Sheikhs Associated with the Talabani Tekiye, Shrines, Kirkuk, 2016

Description:
The graves of sheikhs associated with the tekiye are inside the building, a shrine for devotees to visit. A verse from the Quran is written, Ayat al Kursi, or the Verse of the Throne, “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Allah! There is no God but He, the Living, the Self-subsisting, the Eternal. No slumber can seize Him, nor sleep. All things in heaven and earth are His. Who could intercede in His presence without His permission? He knows what appears in front of and behind His creatures. Nor can they encompass any knowledge of Him except what he wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them, for He is the Highest and Most Exalted” (2:255).

The Physical Space of Women's Worship, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016

Description:
Though the women’s room for worship is a simple long rectangle with no alcove for the daff and tapl players, the percussionists tend to congregate at the far side of the worship circle. The tapl is played sitting down, the drum braced against some cushions. The daff can be played standing or sitting as the worshipper desires. While the speech is not entirely clear, the language shifts from Kurdish to Arabic.

The Sheikha, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016

Description:
The Sheikha is a Turcoman, fluent in Turcoman, Arabic, Kurdish, and English. Her husband, Sheikh Yusuf Talabani, married her though she did not come from a Sheikh family. Given social and religious pressures, this indicates a personal understanding and choice of the Sheikha’s gifts, which are many. During this particular visit to the tekiye, the Sheikh was away, receiving treatment in Germany for a grave illness. The Sheikha stayed to support their community, to carry on the work of worship, but her concern for her husband made speech, at one point, difficult.

Women and Girls Praying Together, Talabani Tekiye, Kirkuk, 2016

Description:
A young woman participates in the worship while a little girl, across the circle, joins in beside her mother. Though children are cherished in this tekiye, they are explicitly encouraged not to come to the worship too young. The path of a Sufi must be consciously chosen, not an indoctrination. Sheikh Yusuf, the spiritual leader has said, “When we find children here, we say, ‘Go home! Read a book!’ But they sneak in…” Another consideration for some women in this circle is childcare. As this tekiye is the only in Kirkuk to offer sermons and prayers in all the languages of Kirkuk, many refugees or internally displaced people attend services. A woman alone with her child, separated from her family, may have no choice but to keep her son or daughter with her.
