Hawzah News Agency-In a recent Middle East tour, a British politician has described Islam’s call to prayer, or Adhan, as “amazing” and “moving” as he posted a video from a mosque in Abu Dhabi.
“Right now, I am in the Grand mosque,” Edwin Samuel, Britain’s spokesman for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), said in fluent Arabic in the video posted on his Instagram account.
“This great amazing voice [of the Azan] moves human emotions both psychologically and spiritually… [it moves] all humans from all religions.”
Speaking fluent Arabic, Samuel usually engages with Arabic-speaking users on social media.
The large mosque can accommodate more than 41,000 people. It is also open for tourists to come and see its grandiose structure.
On Twitter, Samuel is more active, where he answers people’s question on UK’s polices in the region, and has more than 17,000 followers.
The Adhan is the call to announce that it is time for a particular obligatory Salah (ritual prayer).
The Adhan is raised five times a day and usually lasts about three minutes.
