Calgary mosque broadcasts call to prayer to help strengthen community

Its parent organization received permission from the city last week to broadcast the Adhan until the end of Ramadan later this month.

Hawzah News Agency (Calgary - Canada) - The mosque is broadcasting the call to prayer corresponding with Maghrib, or sunset prayer, signifying to Muslims the time to break their fast.

It makes people have some dignity, have special comfort, special happiness. It takes them back home," said Imam Jamal Hammoud, noting that it's common for the Adhan to be broadcast in Muslim-majority countries.

Several people drove to the mosque last week and listened from the parking lot.

People are also recommended to tune in online.

Other mosques in Calgary are hopping on board including the Calgary Southwest Masjid and the Al-Hedaya Islamic Centre of Northeast Calgary.
