Let Muslims be given freedom

This refers to everybody who thinks that the Imam’s loud calling for prayers in the Mosque should be made any less than it already is.

This refers to everybody who thinks that the Imam’s loud calling for prayers in the Mosque should be made any less than it already is.

I am usually surprised when I hear people referring to this as "noise” or even "blare”. To describe other people’s faith as ‘noise’ because he or she does not want others to wake up for prayers is ill-conceived.

In any case, Muslims and genuine Christians don’t need to be reminded about their neighborhood because this is enshrined in their faith.

In Rwanda, we have mosques spread across the country and Muslims have lived harmoniously with Catholics, Anglicans and Born-again.

All these know that Muslims pray five times a day and ‘Adhan’ is central to this process.
