Stereotypes of Muslim Piety in Calendar Art and Hindi Cinema

Muslim men praying. Although the quote from the Qur’an (in Urdu translation) is an affirmation of the believer that “...all my actions and prayers/rituals are meant for God...”, the visual details of the image have a different message – that of the egalitarianism in Islam – all men, poor or rich, are equal in God’s eye. Through messages such as these, many Muslim posters communicate more than an piety.
