We have a similar issue - our local mosque suddenly started broadcasting at a deafening level - the prayer as well as the call to it. I contacted the Islamic Affairs and the company who owns the development (ie, Emaar) but still haven't heard back. Just want the volume tested - it never used to be this loud!!
this wouldn't by any chance be sports city/victory heights area you are referring to?
there are quite a few buildings in Sports city that have speakers on the outside which are very loud
I understand your issue, I am Muslim and come from a Muslim country and in my country they only broadcast the call for prayer and not the entire prayer, so I was shocked to hear it through in the UAE when I came 16 years ago ... my advice is: call the Dubai Islamic affairs if you are in Dubai [url=http://www.iacad.gov.ae/EN/Pages/contactus.aspx'>link[/url'> and find out if they are registered and if they are respecting the level of maximum sound, as they might accept to go check on them
Ladies, I have a sensitive question and am looking for your experience and information.
We have a 'mosque' behind our house. It is not really a mosque building, it is speakers attached to a high-rise building outside of our community boundaries. The speakers face our villas despite a great big wall/fence separating the communities.
The 'mosque' transmits the call to payer which is perfectly normal, however, it then goes on to transmit the entire prayer five times a day as well, at a volume which can be described as deafening :-(
I have lived in the region for over 10 years so this inquiry does not stem from disrespect for my host nation. I have, however, never experienced this before and am wondering whether it is normal that the entire prayer is broadcasted five times a day, seven days a week at an unbearable volume.
I would like to raise the issue, but don't know where to start as it's not exactly like complaining about construction noise past curfew time :-(
Have you ladies experienced this where you live?
