Ezan~Call to Prayer

This video shows the heart and splendor of Turkey. Every morning before sunrise you will hear the call to prayer. Men and women rise before the sun comes up to get ablution, or cleansing of ones body. Then off to they mosque they go. Women normally stay home and do their prayers there, as children are still sleeping. During the day in all cities in Turkey you will see young and old, men and women hurry to the mosque to complete the five daily prescribed prayers. It is a blessing to do your namaz/prayers with the rest of the congregation. Ezan calms you inside. You feel a sense of peace. When you bow your head to the Secade/prayer rug you feel the closest to God. Most people who live abroad say the one thing they miss as much as their families is the call to prayer.
