Azaan

Here is a beautiful "Azaan" which is the call to prayer. We hear this five times a day, everyday coming from the Mosques' minarets (the towers) at Sunrise, Midday, mid afternoon, sunset, and the last at twilight. It is sung live, not pre-recorded. It is wonderfully peaceful. Once the Azaan starts to play, people close their shops, turn off any music, and go to pray. The girl that I tutor in Al-Ain always stops our lessons just to sit and listen quietly. Hope you enjoy it! I think its very beautiful!

The video I posted is from a peace conference that took place in a church in the US. In case you were wondering why it was in a church and why there was a priest and rabbi in the video!


Men at prayer with a little baby! So cute!
