Quoting CANLI: To Muslims its same like bells to Christians,a reminder of the time of prayers |
Ive lived in Netherlands for 19 years and never heard the bells of church frequently. I lived in Turkey for 1 year and was woken up nearly every night by ezan 
I do prefer ezan sound over church bells though!
Quoting CANLI:
Azan is a call of prayer to remind people of the time of prayers,and to gather people 'who wants' to pray together at mosques.

I think there are more people sleeping at 5 than waking up for ezan Isnt it a passage from Quran 'to you your religion, to me my religion' (something like this?). You can pray as long as you dont bother people who dont. But as you said, if they make rules according to sound and meters, it should not be a problem at all.

Yes its about different religions,not same one
İ mean ,Ezan will call,as Muslim you are free to pray or not 'its your personal freedom' but i believe you are not free to say stop Ezan because i want to sleep
Ohh,and btw,İ live in Egypt,and i hear Church bells every sunday at early morning and also at special events
And even christians are excused from work 2 hours late to pray, our week end at Cuma and Cumartesi,so they go to work late at sunday after their prayer,at same time Muslims go to work at regular time 8 am.

There are also ezan-alarms We use them at my work! And a friend of mine has them too! I remember we sat up a night talking about ghosts and karabasan. Usually I have my own room there, but this night we scared each other so we decided to be in the same room. Then at 5 oclock or something, I heard this far voice singing something scary and I wondered 'Did Allah get angry at all I said about religion, or is it ghosts haunting me after I openly expressed my fear???'. Next morning she told me her mother forgot to put off the ezan-alarm (she wasnt at home that night).

Hi DK,
Let me write whole passage that you say;
Those Who Reject Faith (Al-Káfirün)
1. Say : O ye that reject Faith!
2. I worship not that which ye worship,
3. Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
4. And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,
5. Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
6. To you be your Way, and to me mine.
PS: 1-) For more passages you may see this link:
http://www.ingilizce.be/ingilizce_kuran.htm
2-) I guess this passage does not discourse neither to the muslims nor to the "people of book" but to infidels.

Quoting ninja: I was wondering about that too. I heard the prayers many times and I always stayed at the same hotel which is so near to the Blue Mosque. Yet I never saw the taxis stop, or business stop or anyone trying to stop to observe the prayer. Maybe those more responding muslims were already inside the mosque by the time of the prayers. |
Exactly! This is the summary of the Turkish religious life!

You are managing to convince me that I imagined taxis pulling up and the driver going in the mosque!
