i come from a country where both the muslim and christian population is the same in numbers…we do hear lots of adhaans from different mosques and u’ll see a lot of people heading towards the mosque at zuhr and maghrib and isha times…it feels good when i hear the adhaan and then the number of people truning up to pray…the scene’s quite spectacular in this island in our country where 99% of the population is muslim and they all close their businesses brielfy for the prayers and everyone heads towards the mosque, and until a few years ago they wouldnt even lock their shops as no one would dare steal
i feel the same now, have to rely on this recorded adhaan:hinna:
well the pronounciation differs in the arab world as well…like in the gulf, saudi arabia, iraq they pronounce it as ‘dh’ while in most parts of egypt, syria, lebanon and jordan they pronounce it as ‘z’
