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.
