The azaan in Pakistani mosques.
Hey, this might trigger some of you, or it might not since it's a controversial topic. As the title suggests, I have a problem with Pakistani azaan/molvi culture. Now, I love azaan, by nature it is beautiful. A call to prayer, initiation of your meeting with Allah. But dude, why do so many mosques just have the most horrible azaan, Astaghfirullah, but I mean it in the sense that their talawat is so over exaggerated, pair that with megaphones that distort after a certain volume. It's supposed to be a call to prayer, not something that disturbs people, including non Muslims. I saw somewhere else that the volume is one of the problems that non Muslims face while living in a non Muslim majority country. But over here it's all of it. I live right next to a mosque, the speaker is 20ish feet away from my room, and God forgive me but sometimes the azaan is simply intolerable. They have butchered it, there is no sur, no talawat, just long and unnecessary guttural stretched out azaan. I look forward to my Asr namaz because the molvi who gives the call to prayer for that time has a beautiful talawat mashallah, it's so humble, soft, and does the job perfectly. No unnecessary exaggeration of words. Is there anyone who feels this way? Or is it just me, because living in a market I hear about 6 different azaans all of which overlap and it's not exactly the best thing to hear. Is this even fixable or is it just this way. I dont have anything against imams here specifically, it's just do your job properly, or keep one imam for all azaans. Why did this even become a problem.
