November 1958 - The Strength And Influence Of Islam

November 1958 - The Strength And Influence Of Islam On West Africa - The Central Mosque, Lagos. The rich, the poor, the retired and the unemployed: they are all to be found in the mosques. The floors of the mosques are lined with carpets, some ornate, some threadbare. Worshippers shed their shoes before entering. It is difficult to be precise about the number of Muslims in West Africa, since in most territories religious statistics are not recorded in the census. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
