azan
Muezzin's daily cry
Azan is the Islamic call to prayer, chanted by a muezzin from a mosque to summon Muslims to worship five times daily.
The call follows a prescribed Arabic text proclaiming God's greatness and the prophet Muhammad's role.
In Muslim-majority countries, the azan marks the rhythm of daily life: The azan woke us before dawn.
Also spelled adhan.
