One is called the Adhan, which is meant to get people out of bed to come to the mosque, and it is delivered in a musical fashion -- that was this one, I think. Then there's a second call, the Iqama, which is addressed to people already in the mosque and is done in more of a monotone. I think that's what I heard after I'd gone back to bed.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhan<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IqamaSteve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-27083511253160750502016-02-10T03:54:12.294+00:002016-02-10T03:54:12.294+00:00What a wonderful sharing!What a wonderful sharing!37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-78481856513102097602016-02-10T01:46:19.803+00:002016-02-10T01:46:19.803+00:00Technology IS amazing - very, very cool!Technology IS amazing - very, very cool!jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-33779798803653478632016-02-09T16:51:31.525+00:002016-02-09T16:51:31.525+00:00That is genius!

Thank you, I can very nearly feel the air that is there, taste the hot bread and chickpeas,while wearing a fig necklace on the overly crowded smelly bus-an orange peel under my nose! I was there only for four weeks in the 80's, horrified at the treatment of girls and dogs and the pooping men, but loved every minute.
