My guess is his deposition has ended that idea.<br /><br />Personally, I really love hearing the call to prayer. But it does seem to me to be an innovation. After all, Mohammed (pbuh) did not use it.Jed Carosaarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775889983099808362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18220453.post-49535344229754630342011-09-03T08:06:58.836+00:002011-09-03T08:06:58.836+00:00Most of the Europeans I meet in Chefchaouen apreci...Most of the Europeans I meet in Chefchaouen apreciate the importance of the call to prayer including the early morning call. We listen to the subtle overlapps from the many mosques in the city as they never start at the same time and I hear them as an intreaging music. <br />they are amplified but not to the degree that is oppressive. Though just below our rooms a zaouia has recently installed a powerful amplification system which has upset local residents as it dominant and the chanting continues for ages entirly blocking the main mosque and the other mosques.<br />I heard that in Cairo the mosques all broadcast the same call at the same time as amplification compitition had become so fierce. Dont know if it is true.<br />In Sydney Australia there are no church bells allowd nor is the call to prayer.jewelmarochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659180842881662954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18220453.post-42074106727150731642011-08-30T22:24:25.617+00:002011-08-30T22:24:25.617+00:00As a frequent visitor to Fez I have never thought ...As a frequent visitor to Fez I have never thought the Adhan loud or obtrusive. The objection of Saeed Lakhal is I I think more to do with his anti Islam secularist views. How can these words cause offence to anyone?:<br />"God is Greatest <br />I bear witness that there is no God except the One God<br />I bear witness that Muhammad is God's Messenger <br />Come to prayer<br />Come to success <br />God is Greatest <br />There is no god except Allah"<br /><br />Here in the UK, there are people who complain about, the noise of the church bells that also signify the call to prayer for Christians. We are heading towards a world where secularism rules but do we really want a world where everything is bland and no differences between cultures?Abd Rahmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18220453.post-67075803200549386452011-08-30T11:35:24.540+00:002011-08-30T11:35:24.540+00:00There is a big difference between using a micropho...There is a big difference between using a microphone during a carnaval / party once in a while, or EVERY SINGLE DAY, from early in the morning till late in the evening! Every time I go to Morocco I get tired of not getting enough sleep. Mosques competing each other and imams who are screaming and shouting in these megaphones. The whole neighbourhood (my family included) was so delighted when the microphone once broke. Nobody, except of the children, dared to talk about it and show their joy of finally getting a quiet night, some piece and rest. It's ridiculous. And a lot of people do'nt complain about it, afraid to be accused of not being a good muslim. This has nothing to do with the islam. I bet there is no rule of microphones written in the Koran.I need my sleep, for allah sake!!!noreply@blogger.com
