Calls_to_Prayer

Once_again_we_apologize_for_the_lack
of_a_spacebar_on_my_laptop

One_of_the_unique_parts_of_life
in_a_Islamic_community
is_the_regular_calls_to_prayer

With_the_month_of_Ramadan
now_finished._We_cannot_help
but_reflect_on_the_commitment
and_devotion_of_Somalis
to_regular_prayer_and_fasting.

Muslims_are_called_to_wash_and_pray
five_times_each_day_of_their_lives

In_Nairobi_we_can_hear_the_first_call
at_5:30_am,_but_in_Dadaab
The_mosques_offer_an_early_call
at_4:30_am_to_wake_the_village
in_anticipation_for_prayer

"Allahu_Akbar(Allah_is_the_greatest)
Praise_and_glory_be_to_you_O_Allah
Blessed_be_Your_Name
Exalted_be_Your_Majesty_and_Glory.
There_is_no_god_but_You.
I_seek_refuge_with_Allah
from_Satan_the_cursed_one."
