“As the first notes of the adhan drifted through the city, I instantly got goosebumps. Within seconds there was a beautiful harmonious chorus of prayer calls from all the mosques in earshot. The loudest voice was from the direction of the Blue Mosque and I wanted to follow the noise directly to where it was being created.”

“Standing inbetween it and the Blue Mosque as the call to prayer was happening was awesome. I’m not a religious man but the call to prayer washing over the city like that brought chills to my spine.”
