Photographs of the Iman of the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque live-streaming the traditional call to prayer and recitation of the Quran to adherents over the Internet.
The COVID-19 social distancing laws which ban mass gatherings have meant places of worship have had to close their doors to their congregations.
Normally, the the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque would be filled to its 1,000 person capacity on any given Friday, but especially during the holy month of Ramadan. Instead, today, the prayer rooms were empty, except for a few skeleton staff. So, the Mosque has turned to technology to maintain its religious obligations by live-streaming its services to the faithful stuck at home.
It is also providing more worldly services, delivering essential food drops to the elderly who have had to self-isolate.
Part of an ongoing photographic series, 'COVID-19 Diaries'.
