		And though the muezzin certainly didn’t intend to include me among the faithful, his call couldn’t be confined to his hill alone, and it urged me not to squander this moment of intimacy with God.
		For me, connecting to the muezzin was an expression of becoming an oleh, literally an "ascender," an immigrant to the Land of Israel.
		At those moments when my devotion merged with the muezzin’s, I knew that I, an exile by way of New York and Hungary and places beyond that I couldn’t even name, was a returning son, and that this landscape of prayer recognized me and welcomed me home.

		Like many who refused to relinquish their religion, the muezzin was thrown into jail for eight years and because we continued to perform his prayers inside prison he was slapped with another eight-year term.

		For the first time in five centuries the cry of the muezzin can be heard calling the faithful to prayer from atop the first minaret to be built in the city since Moorish times.
		As it is, the biggest distinction is the very different sound emanating from the minaret's upper reaches, where a muezzin calls the faithful to prayer five times a day with the age-old words "Allahu Akbar" (God is great).
		The first call is at 5:30 a.m., "but the muezzin tries to keep the volume down so as not to annoy the neighbors," Ruiz says.

		On the other hand, the existence of muezzin mahfil (a gallery for the cal to prayer) in different locations in all three mosques is considered important; although a small mahfil was added on to two pillars at the back of the Suleymaniye, it was not desired in the Selimiye.
		For this purpose, he placed the muezzin's mahfil near the mihrab, next to the southwest pillar and in addition, he added small mahfils (balconies) to the two north pillars.
		The data show awareness of the need for extra sound power during the design process of this mosque with interior volume approximately 88,000 m and the data also demonstrate the greatness of both the period's and Sinan's acoustic knowledge.

		It doesn't take much imagination to predict the reaction of citizens if each of the local Christian churches took to broadcasting the voices of their pastors over loudspeakers throughout the town, exhorting everyone to come to church.
		The Muslims say Christian church bells function in the same manner as the muezzin's call; therefore, they are only doing the same thing within their own religious tradition.
		Now that the ethnic demographics of the city have changed substantially, a rival belief wants to augment local tradition with its own.

		Supposedly the CIA feels that muezzins are in a uniquely advantageous position to view everything that's going on in Muslim communities.

		This is a public program, not any secret plot, but perhaps it's one of the sources of the muezzin school rumor.

		The cricketing great may not have noticed the two stick-thin sons of Mehboob Khan, the mosque's muezzin, scampering around the building's whitewashed verandahs.
		More than a decade later, though the holy book still attracts sizeable numbers of religious tourists, the boys - notably the younger son Irfan - are the town's main draw.
