I think the sound of the Athan (or Azan as the commentators on the site spelled it :) is beautiful especially if the muezzin has a good voice.
The main problem that everyone is complaining about are the amplifiers and the speakers that blare onto the streets and into people's houses.
It was interesting though that someone had the courage to speak up about that problem :) More people should because the call to prayer should be inviting and nice to listen to.
This subject reminded me of 9alat el Eid and how beautiful and spiritual the sound of the people praying and repeating Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar in the early morning.
yes it is a problem in egypt i know this for a fact
too many people saying the athan at once
but notice that in egypt there are many small masajid, some how an organised policy by the govt to encourage this,, coz it removed unity and reduces islamic structures
besides other tactical points
in kuwait there s only one or 2 masjids or 3 or whatever in a qe6ah so thats a few athans per salat
not like egypt where in down town its like 12 athans at the same being said with few second difference in time of start, so you cant even repeat what one muathin is saying
Please don't get me wrong everyone.. the Athan, when done right, is beautiful to the ear... However the problem is with the loudspeakers AND the quality of the some of the مؤذنين.. there used to be one in Shuwaikh Janoobi who sounded like a strangled cat!
My fathers office has a window facing a large speaker that belongs to the mosque. His solution was to install soundproof windows .. and ask the guy to tone it down a bit. Howver, I think the reasons are agaisnt a central solution is because it will put a couple of Mu'ezzins out of work. And that they believe eventually everything will be centralized, including the friday sermon.
And HWKW, You expected KTV1 to do a show about Kuwaiti Rappers? Honestly now, that channel is an embarassment to broadcasting channels .. not to mention the rappers arent that good to begin with.
Come on, Zaydoun..
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't be jailed just for filing a complaint! :)
More people should speak up about this issue.
فى احلى من صوت الاذان؟
ReplyDeleteخصوصا لما تكون منهمك بعمل و تسمع الاذان و تترك كل شى و تروح تصلى
راحه نفسيه
اعترف ان اجمل شى اسمعه كل يوم هو صوت اذان الفجر
I think the sound of the Athan

Shurouq... File the complaint, be accused of insulting Islam, get sued, go to jail
ReplyDeleteYou should know the drill by now
No, Really.. You won't be incriminated or charged for filing such a complaint.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very legal, safe procedure.
You have my word :)
