(KMSP) Thursday night marked the first publicly broadcast call to prayer, or “Adhan,” in Minnesota.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey approved a permit for Dar [Al-Hijrah] mosque in Minneapolis to play the call to prayer publicly five times a day during the month of Ramadan, which began Thursday at sunset.
“Tonight’s historic call to prayer in Minneapolis will bring comfort and remind the faithful and the neighborhood that as we are physically distant we can still be connected to our faith and mosque,” said CAIR-MN Executive Director Jaylani Hussein in a statement.
