(Morocco World News) Authorities in the German town of Raunheim, in the Frankfurt Rhein-Main region, have decided to allow the Muslim call to prayer, “Adhan,” to be broadcast over loudspeakers on Friday afternoons.
Mayor Thomas Juhe (SPD) announced the news on Tuesday after the city’s parliament adopted the decision, German news agency DPA reported.
According to the mayor, the call to prayer has been heard in the city every Friday since the summer of 2020. The decision means that the Islamic call to prayer is now equal to church bells, Mayor Juhe explained, adding that the city’s council decided “to formalize this authorization, because the call was only tolerated.”
