Missing Our Muezzin
As we listened to the church bells clinking out the sound of the hours last night, AdventureMan turned to me and said “I miss our muezzin.”
We have a spectacular muezzin. You know how some people TALK about loving God, but when you look at how they behave, you wonder “is that what loving God looks like?”
When we hear our muezzin call out the call to prayer, we can hear his love of God. He was gifted with a glorious voice, and even at the earliest prayer, around 3:30 in the morning, he calls with joy and love in his voice. This man loves God, and he serves God by doing his best with every prayer.
(I did not draw that muezzin above. It is a poster, and you can find it by clicking Allposters here.)

Nice poster… I miss hearing Church Bells on Sundays
We were surrounded by church bells in every city, Bu Yousef, and it was wonderful.
I love to hear the muezzin’s call to prayer as well, although maybe not at 4 in the morning. There is something very evocative about the sound of it and it becomes part of the ambiance of your life. When I lived in Ramallah, Palestine, we were treated to both (Lutheran)church bells and various muezzins’ calls to prayer. They were not always synchronized and we’d hear several at the same time. In Indonesia we’d hear the muezzin’s call to prayer as well and I liked it. Your muezzin sounds especially nice, and I can understand you miss hearing him! I spent a month in Albania at the end of last year, and suddenly there it was again: The call to prayer from a mosque. It was so nice to hear again.

Now this calls for recording an adhan and posting it here
ChurchBells – I think of it often, but I never get to the right place at the right time to capture the entire magical call.
