Call To Prayer

Arriving to a devoutly Islamic city in the late afternoon is a magical experience. Watching the sun set behind domed mosques while The Call To Prayer echos all around you is as beautiful as it is haunting.
As an atheist I must say that the dawn Call To Prayer is not nearly as pleasurable.



This video is taken in Medan, Indonesia, the administrative capital of Sumatra. While Indonesia is the world's most populace Islamic nation, it is pretty moderate, Medan is a little different. The island of Sumatra is largely Christian, so a conscious decision was taken in Jakarta to relocate Muslims to Medan, making the capital an Islamic haven.
