USA: Historic Ramadan call to prayer echoes in Minnesota city

From loudspeakers on the roof of a Minnesota mosque, the Islamic call to prayer echoed for the first time ever throughout a Minneapolis neighbourhood late on Thursday as the Muslim community there prepared to begin the holy month of Ramadan.

It echoed again on Friday morning and will continue five times a day during the holy month.

The simple, short call - known as the adhan - marked an historical moment for Minneapolis and major cities across the United States, community members said. While the adhan is commonly broadcast throughout the Middle East, North Africa and other places, for many Muslims in the US, it is only heard inside mosques or community centres.

"There's definitely a lot of excitement," said Imam Abdisalam Adam, who is on the board of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque, from where the adhan will be broadcast.

"Some people see it as historic," Adam told Al Jazeera. "To the point ... that they're not doing it, able to see it in their lifetime."

Recited by different representatives from mosques around the city, the call to prayer is expected to reach thousands in the Cedar-Riverside neighbourhood in Minneapolis, according to Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of Minnesota's Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

While Hussein says the community had discussed broadcasting the call for years, it became even more pressing this year when the coronavirus pandemic forced mosques to shut their doors and residents to stay inside. The coronavirus has infected more than 870,000 people nationwide and killed at least 50,000.

"We wanted to touch those individuals who frequent this mosque and this community," Hussein said. "If we cannot be physically together, at least this echo, this voice, this call to prayer can be an extension of us being together at this difficult time. To give some people some solace."

Ramadan is traditionally a time when Muslims worldwide regularly attend mosques for daily prayers and break their fasts together. But this year, most have been told to pray at home and forgo community iftars in favour of staying safe from the COVID-19 crisis.

Adam, the imam, said while the Muslim community is experience loss this Ramadan, they hope the call to prayer broadcast will create a "semblance of normalcy".

"With the loss of Friday prayers and the regular congregational prayers, we are hoping that this will give a sense of solace and connection to the spiritual needs of community members," he added.

An avenue to greater investment?

The Cedar-Riverside neighbourhood is a densely populated area of Minneapolis that has historically been an entry point for many immigrants and today is home to large Somali and Oromo communities.

Ramla Bile, a Somali American who lives in a neighbourhood adjacent to Cedar-Riverside, has been active in the community for years. She welcomed the broadcast of the call to prayer, saying it will help people "feel the spirit of Ramadan in a way that is meaningful".

But she also hopes the city of Minneapolis, which provided the noise permit for the broadcast, will make bigger strides to invest in the community in even more tangible ways.

"There's been a lot of need and a lot hurt in the community in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. And then there's the ongoing conversation you've been having," she said, pointing to deep-seated Islamophobia, systemic racism and the need for infrastructure projects like sprinkler systems in high-rise buildings.

"We need to see greater investments to support the most vulnerable members of our community," Bile said referring to the neighbourhood's elders, undocumented individuals, low-income families and others.

"Right now, we're waiting for a bailout for our micro-businesses who comprise our Somali malls, or a rent freeze for neighbourhood residents," she added.

For CAIR's Hussein and Imam Adam, they hope this Ramadan's call to prayer helps encourage other communities around the US to take similar steps.

"This will hopefully inspire others … to think about what could happen in future Ramadans and beyond," Hussein said.

Adam added that while the virus has devastated communities and upended daily life, it has also shown that "we're in this together".

"It just shows the significance of the global village and how interconnected and interdependent we are as a world community," he said. "I think that there will be a lot of change in our way of life for the better. I hope so."

The pomposity of religious leaders when they get to sing always cracks me up. Like amateur night out, with no one allowed to complain.

Five times a day for a month will surely start to annoy a non-believer.

If my neighbour started blasting music that was not to my intrest, surely it would start to grate. Especially during stressful times like these. Even M S Subbulakshmi's morning Suprabhatam would not possess any artistic merit after a couple of days.
 
I only wish I could see the reaction of the islamophobes

I wouldn't want a loud religious call blaring in my ear 5 times a day either .. does that make me an islamophobe? You learn something new everyday.

Once a week is fine.
 
Was waiting to see if any Muslim will condemn this. For non religious people this is for sure frustrating.
 
I don’t see why it needs to be blared out unless the neighborhood is >2/3rds Muslim and everyone is signed up for this and happy.

As it is muslims are considered to be not the best of compromisers so doing this doesn’t really serve any purpose at all.
 
Good and bad in this.

Good - people learn about how Muslims in their community are going about life
Bad - noise pollution in some narrow minds. Remember this prayer call goes out 5 times in 24 hours and lasts no longer than 5-10 mins

Is it that huge an impediment or people's basic anti-Muslim bias showing up now?

Would you sign up for a 30 minute class everyday which is of no interest to you? Maybe it's tough to explain this to a religions person.

Either it's gita / gospel/ adhaan I don't want anything if I am non religious. On top of it those places are not even Muslim majority ones.

Question really is - how much does it bother you?

We have all sorts of noise pollution every day but we are fine with that - yet a Muslim call to prayer is such a problem?

By the way, incase its not clear, using terms such as "shouting", "singing" for a Muslim call to prayers is extremely insensitive from a Muslim point of view.

Please take care of this.

Those words are not in my posts. Maybe you are referring to others.

Religion is a personal choice and it should not hinder anyone who is a non believer in anyway.

It bothers me. I feel the same way about loud speakers during Hindu festivals too.

I am pretty sure loud speakers are not mentioned in Islam, so why do mosques have to find compulsion in playing it? If people are facing inconvenience why can’t they just compromise for once and move on. With everything else there is the according to my religion excuse.
 
Wonderful.

Love seeing some of the posters in this thread riled :afridi

30 days of your life where something you will hear for maybe 30 mins a day in TOTAL.

Its fine in muslim countries but in others i can seen why there d be an issue

For eg in the uk the call to prayer on loudspeakers across the neighbourhood isnt allowed People can buy radios that transmit this into their homes and the muslim community is fine with that

30 mins a day is beside the point Youve got to accept and be courteous to non muslims and others And i can understand why they wouldnt they wouldnt want to listen to a call to prayer 5 times a day

Its the other way around, locals are being courteous to Muslims for 30 days in 365 - respect to them and nothing more.
 
US authorities probe fire in Islamic centre in Missouri

Meanwhile:

US authorities have said they are investigating a fire that badly damaged an Islamic centre in Missouri on the first day of Ramadan.

The FBI is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of anyone connected to the fire which broke out on Friday, coinciding with the start of a holy month for Muslims.

Richard Quinn, the special agent in charge of the St Louis Division, announced the reward on Friday, hours after the fire broke out early that morning at the Islamic Center of Cape Girardeau, located about 185km (115 miles) south of St Louis.

Twelve to 15 people were evacuated and escaped injury. Fire Chief Travis Hollis said the damage to the building was extensive.

According to Norman Baker, a Cape Girardeau Fire Department battalion chief, a man was captured on a security camera engaging in "suspicious activity" shortly before the fire began at about 5am, the New York Times reported.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the state fire marshal are also investigating the fire.

"[Missouri Division of Fire Safety] is part of a joint local-state-federal probe of this suspicious fire in Cape Girardeau," Missouri Governor Mike Parson wrote in a tweet on Friday.

"In Missouri, we won't tolerate an attack on any house of worship. This was a cowardly act."

According to Sergeant Joey Hann with the Cape Girardeau Police Department, the team is investigating it as a potential case of arson, local broadcaster KFVS reported on Friday.

The Missouri chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim advocacy group, said the fire began at the front door of the building.

CAIR noted the suspicious timing of the blaze as Thursday night was the beginning of Ramadan, a holy month during which Muslims fast and pray.

"Because the fire was deemed 'suspicious,' and because it occurred at a house of worship on a significant religious date, we urge law enforcement authorities to investigate a possible bias motive for the blaze," CAIR's national communications director, Ibrahim Hooper, said in a statement.

CAIR said the mosque suffered "significant damage" to the front entrance and on the second floor.

According to Hann, a man had made threats against the centre about two years ago, prompting the department to assign an officer outside, the New York Times reported.

Should not be allowed. i would oppose any religious announcement in speakers. Send it to the phone. use a radio. why do the rest of us have to bear this.
 
I don't know how things are in USA but I don't mind loudspeakers for religious/cultural functions in India. Whether it be Bhajans, Sunday prayers in Church or Azan. Sure volume shouldn't be like that from a jet engine but we already have so much noise in our lives, at least these prayers and messages spread positivity. Authorities can put some curbs like no loudspeakers before 6 am and after 10 pm or near school premises especially during exams. We must be practical, even though some of us might be atheists we should stand by religious freedom and not behave like Chinese.
 
So Ramadan starts and do the activities of some - nothing changes.

and then we have this.

Maybe call to prayer not a good idea now.
 
I live in MSP. I condemn this completely. Religion is a private matter. Non-Muslims will not appreciate waking up 4:30 in the morning. However, it is important to note that this area is highly populated with Somali muslims, whose interpretation of islam is a bit different from Sunnis/Shias of sub-continent.

this is just attention seeking. pure and simple it's noise pollution. absolutely no need for this. NO religion has a right to do this
 
Johannesburg, South Africa - A court has ruled the call to prayer at a mosque was too loud and ordered it toned down after a complaint from a nearby resident.

Judge Sidwell Mngadi from the Kwazulu-Natal High Court in Durban issued a court order against the mosque to ensure its call to prayer is not audible inside a neighbour's house across the street.

The case was brought by Chandra Ellaurie who lives opposite the Madrasah Talemuddeen Islamic Institute in Isipingo Beach. Ellaurie argued the prayer call "deprived him of the enjoyment of his property rights".

On Wednesday, the Isipingo Institute said it will appeal the ruling.

"The proximity of the applicant's property to that of the Madrasah and the overwhelming evidence of the making of the call to prayer ... create probabilities that favour the applicant's version that the call to prayer interferes with his private space," Mngadi said in his judgement.

Ellaurie, a Hindu, complained the call to prayer gives the neighbourhood "a distinct Muslim atmosphere". He also requested the institute be shut down, but Mngadi refused to make such an order.

The judge ordered the call to prayer may not be heard within Ellaurie's house.

Mohammed Patel, chairman of the Isipingo Muslim Association, said the mosque did not intend to further use external sound amplification.

Ellaurie had been complaining about the call to prayer since 2003 and reported it to the South African Human Rights Commission in July 2004.

At the time, the commission recommended the Isipingo Beach Muslim Association "desist from using the external sound amplifier system during the first call to prayer of each day" - which is at about 3:30am local time. It also said each call to prayer should not last longer than three minutes.

Mohamed Ameermia, commissioner at the South African Human Rights Commission, described the judgment as "shocking". Speaking to Al Jazeera, he said the ruling violated a number of constitutional rights, including the right to equality and the right to freedom of religion.

"South Africa is a diverse nation in which people have to show tolerance and a sense of social cohesion," said Ameermia.

The chairperson of the Muslim Judicial Council in South Africa, Moulana Abdul Kalik, told Al Jazeera the complainant had a weak case because the call to prayer was being regulated and was not "on loudspeakers".

Kalik said the judgement "ignores the right of a religious group to manifest its religious beliefs as protected under the rights in the constitution".

According to Pierre de Vos, professor of constitutional law at the University of Cape Town, the court made "a serious mistake" in granting Ellaurie's complaint.

De Vos said under South African law, property owners do not have an absolute right to "undisturbed enjoyment of property" as assumed by the judge.

"Property owners are required to tolerate a degree of nuisance from their neighbours," said de Vos.

Can you elaborate? I'm just curious.

I think he was referring to school of thought or madhab.

Somalis follow a different madhab than majority of the subcontinental Muslims (who mostly follow Hanafi madhab).
 
Imagine you are at your home praying to Jesus or Buddha or Ganesh and suddenly you hear "There is no God but Allah" :amir3

In all seriousness, every religion should be allowed to do this then. Gospel, Vedas, Gurbani should all be permitted to broadcast through loud speakers for 30 minutes a day. :ok
 
My take on this is to firstly consider if roles were reversed in Muslim majority countries, would we ever accept loud transmissions coming out of a non-Muslim place of worship for five times a day?

For Muslim countries, the call to prayer is great and I could only wish that I heard it more when I was in Dubai (earlier this year), but in non-Muslim majority countries you have to be mindful and tolerant of the local culture and practices. We shouldn't try to disturb that.

Adhan in loudspeakers are not necessary anyway as loudspeakers never existed in Prophet(PBUH) time. Many deobandi masjid in Bangladesh think it's bidaah to this day. (strange stance obviously). Point Im trying to make is if in a particular block, non-muslims dont like adhan in loudspeakers, muslims shouldn't be adamant about it.

I also think the amount of religious freedom muslims get in western countries, non-muslims can only dream about it in muslim countries. You can build masjids in West, preach Islam in west, criticise Christianity while living in west. Im not sure whether a christian or a hindu can do those things in Pakistan or other muslim countries.

We have lot of things to learn from west no doubt.
 
Your inferiority complex is shocking.

No shame in admitting the superiority of the West. We Muslims would never progress unless we stop lying to ourselves. A lie that we are superior. In what field exactly are we superior? In crime & corruption? West as of today, leads the world in science, technology, education, innovation, human rights protection, justice and equality. Most muslims who deny the superiority of the west would jump at the very first chance of immigration to western countries. If given a chance, 90 out of 100 muslims would also choose western countries over any muslim country.

Speak for yourself. Nobody is denying anything.

But, the way you are kissing backside of west is embarrassing. Show some self-respect.
 
Wouldn't be allowed where I live, church bells were silenced decades ago (except on sundays but at reasonable times.) for the same reason.

Fair enough.

Announcing adhan by loud speaker is not a requirement and hence it is not a big deal. It is just a matter of convenience.

No shame in praising the achievements of the west. Modern society is based on those achievements. Wont help us a bit in rejecting and living under delusion. No shame in Acknowledging the west and learning from them. Muslims in their heyday achieved success because they were open minded and learned things from other civilizations.

You obviously have your own preconceptions and ideas. Your self worth isn't hurt by using everything west have made but it is hurt when someone praises west for those very things.

My beef is not with the fact you were praising west. I live in west and I am a citizen of west. I love west.

My beef is with the fact you were belittling Muslim countries. That was what I was calling out.

India is also a third world country but I doubt you will say anything bad about India. One of the traits of Hasina supporters.

Muslim countries compared to West stinks. That's the truth. I wasn't belittling, I was stating fact. Just come & live in any random muslim country and you would realize the difference of life yourself.

India is irrelevant in this discussion. But as far as justice, equality and freedom of expression is concerned ; India also stinks. West no doubt is the highest point civilization in todays world.

To be fair, third world nations were invaded and colonized. British Empire and other European empires have devastated Indian subcontinent and also did the same in Africa. We all know what USA did in Middle East.

Things probably would've been different had there still been Ottoman Empire. Too many divisions in the last 100 years meant Muslim countries didn't develop much. Also, civil wars didn't help.

West deserves the praise but we also have to understand how west got to this stage.
 
The colonization was a terrible thing. But you are supporting ottomans. The also ruled Austria hungry. What about Andalusia . You ok when muslims tule others and not the other way around? Colonization i am certain played a part. But now that’s just an excuse for the muslim worlds short comings.

ordinary muslims were ordinary & poor under muslim empires as well. Neither ottomans nor moghuls did much for the improvement of general socio economic life. Muslims were backward in education under them for years. The empire which really propelled muslims in science & education were abbasids. They obviously were no angels and committed lots of crimes but also did great on lot of sectors. After them Im not sure many empires were that interested in science and education. One school of thought I really miss is the Mu'Tazilla. They would've really had a great effect and influence on muslims today had they existed and would've definitely challenged the blind following tendencies of muslims,which also is a reason for our backwardness.

Lack of education and critical thinking are the things muslim nations lack. Not sure many muslim countries are that enthusiastic about addressing these issues.

That's true for any third world country including India and South America. Not just a Muslim issue. Not sure why you are only singling out Muslims here.

Again, years of colonization is a factor.
 
Muslims win call to prayer court battle in German town

A German court on Wednesday rejected an application to silence the muezzin’s call from a mosque in a small town after a legal dispute lasting five years.

The Turkish Islamic community (Ditib) may now once again use a loudspeaker to call the faithful to prayer in the town of Oer-Erkenschwick in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Local residents lodged a complaint in 2015 against the relevant permit, which allowed the Muslim community to use the loudspeaker for at most 15 minutes between noon and 2pm on a Friday.

The call to prayer fell silent for five years on account of the complaint, lodged by a couple living about 900 metres (984 yards) from the mosque, who said their freedom of religion was impinged upon by the sound.

The court, which sits in Muenster, rejected their argument.

“Every society must accept that one will sometimes be aware that others exercise their faith,” presiding judge Annette Kleinschnittger said.

As long as no one was forced to practise their religion, there were no grounds for complaint, she ruled.
