A Question from a Non-Muslim Sister

As-salamu alaykum everyone. I’m not Muslim, but I have something on my heart I wanted to ask. I first shared this in my Quaker group, but I’d love to hear from Muslim brothers and sisters too. Why is it that I find the adhan so incredibly beautiful and calming? I don’t understand a word of Arabic, but every time I hear it in a film or show, I just have to stop and close my eyes. It’s like it reaches something deep inside me. Funny thing is, there’s a church nearby and the bells feel so jarring, but the call to prayer just wraps around me like peace. Maybe it’s touching my soul? I’d really love to understand more.

Soul recognizes truth, sis. That's it. No fluff.

It reaches the fitrah inside you, like a whisper from your original nature. Even the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that every child is born with it. Your soul is just waking up to it. Keep listening, maybe visit a mosque just to hear it live!
