Quotes About Adhan

I wanted to cut past the polemics and experience London's Muslim communities for myself.

I have much clearer memories of my time in Egypt: songs on the radio, the rhythms that accompanied belly dancers, the sound of the adhan - the Muslim call to prayer. I just soaked it all up.
