A muezzin is a person appointed to call Muslims to prayer, known as the adhan. This call is made five times a day from a mosque's minaret or loudspeaker, inviting the community to participate in the daily prayers. The muezzin plays a vital role in Islamic practice, ensuring that the faithful are reminded of their spiritual duties.
Traditionally, the muezzin is chosen for their vocal ability and knowledge of Islamic teachings. The call to prayer includes phrases that express the greatness of Allah and the importance of prayer, fostering a sense of community among Muslims.
