Minneapolis Neighborhood Will Blast Muslim Call to Prayer Five Times a Day Throughout Ramadan

Beginning on Thursday evening, the Minneapolis neighborhood of Cedar-Riverside will blast Muslim call to prayer five times a day through Ramadan.

“This is a historic moment tonight for us to be celebrating the first call to prayer, adhan, in a major city in the United States,” said Sheikh Abdisalam Adam, board chairman of Islamic Civic Society of America & Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque, per Sahan Journal.

More on the story from Sahan Journal:

Thanks to a new partnership between the city of Minneapolis, Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque and the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN), Muslims in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood can hear the adhan as they hunker down during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“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.

First Avenue provided technical support and audio equipment to make the call to prayer possible.

We are honored to be a part of this initiative to keep people safe and socially-distanced during the month of Ramadan,” said Dayna Frank, CEO of First Avenue. 

For the first time in the history of Minnesota, the adhan was broadcast over an outdoor speaker placed over the rooftop of Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.

Would countries that are mostly filled with Muslims be welcoming to Christians in their country? We know the answer to that.
