Talk:Muezzin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the non-standard spelling and pronounciation comment. If you want to show how it is pronounced in Arabic, use IPA. Ashmoo 04:33, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Is there any special reason why the Turkish word for the muezzin's platform is mentioned on the English language WP page? Ashmoo 04:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] contested statements removed

• The first muezzins used the roof of the mosque, or the adjacent streets, to call the followers. It is believed that the institution of the muezzin — the public crier — existed in pre-Islamic Arab culture {{Fact|date=December 2006}}.
• In an age when there was little or no schooling for the blind and blindness was an impediment for almost all other jobs, it also provided a useful employment. {{Fact|date=June 2007}}
