How long does the noise last?

Is NEMA deaf, defunct or dead?

@mkenya the answer is No, that would not be acceptable. That will just be like an alarm clock. You think people don't have alarms in the house?
But what do they do? They hit the snooze button.

So you ask why do Muslims give the Adhan (call for prayer)?

There are many reason:
1. To tell everyone it is time. Just like an examiner rings a bell to signal time is up, even if everybody has a watch. In the Christian we have bell. Some religion we have the drum. All these the prophet said no. No drum, no bell. Someone suggested human voice. He liked it.
2. Apart from being a human voice, our adhan has a message. A bell cannot speak.
3. Apart from message calling you to prayer, it is testifying that there is only one God.
4. The beauty part of it is that wherever part of the world you go, this call for prayer is in Arabic. Example if you go to France, and you don't understand French, even if I don't know Arabic, at least I know the translation of the adhan.
5. The other reason is that we pray in congregation. So the adhan is reminding you that the congregation is going to start.

So even in this age of technology
it is a reminder. It is calling you towards the truth, it is calling you towards success. That is why hundred years, thousand years it was correct and even today it is correct and even tomorrow it will be correct.

The mosque in my hood is a total nuisance. Someone should go to Constitutional Court and shut that noise pollution down.

BAH

Do I come screaming every time I'm going to eat a meal, or when I want to pray?

Just pray in privacy like the rest of us, and stop this tabias of 2nd century AD.

Move on, and progress. Why does everything have to be "an attack on Islam"? That screaming has been banned in many countries. I don't see Islam diminishing...
