Ever one got right to choose the best religion where by he feels that its well done. I proudly say that the best religion in the world is Islam, wheather u like o u don't like!

The use of Public Address System as a means of announcing the call to prayer (Athaan), is the symbol of a Muslim's prayer and other religions have also other public announcement systems like ringing of bells etc..This can never be justified by simply removing it! All religions must be equally respected!

I have signed this petition & think it's a disgrace that they want to go to such lengths as the athaan has been sounded for centuries...they must remember Allah is watching them...
Guest#82 Jul 22, 2012, 12:33
It will indeed be a sad day to see them Discontinue the use of Public Address System as a means of announcing the call to prayer (Athaan).By the will of Allah this will not happen Ameen!

Azaan in the city of Johannesburg ( Rivelia) must not be band because it is very important to have Azaan in that aria because the call to prayer is very important in our lives the call to prayer (Azaan) was from the time of our prophet (peace and blessing be a porn him and right up till now we have the call for prayer that is called Azaan and right till the day of judge mint we will have the call of prayer that is Azaan prayer is one of the first important piller of islaam and when we leave this world we will first be aske about salaah (prayer) so I humbly request from be half of the whole muslim community please don't band the important Azaan that's the call to our prayer ( Thank-you)

Dnt mess with islam
Guest#88 Jul 22, 2012, 12:46
After so many years, why try to ban the athaan now?
Guest#89 Jul 22, 2012, 12:47
What is the ANC afraid of? Why ban the Adhaan. The Adhaan is only calling the Muslim to prayer. Surely we in South Africa have the Constitutional right to practice our religion freely. Are there no Muslims in the ANC? I wonder. South Africa is unique because we embrace DIVERSITY!

Please allow freedom of religion and the call to prayers to be called out aloud
Guest#91 Jul 22, 2012, 12:56
Be warned that Allah is the greatest and will protect His deen.
Guest#92 Jul 22, 2012, 12:59
InshaAllah this ban is removed. Disgusting Jo'burg Council!
Guest#93 Jul 22, 2012, 13:00
As muslims we will not allow anyone to ben the azaan from being called out five times a day
Guest#94 Jul 22, 2012, 13:00
Without racial, religious or cultural tolerance ! South africans's cannot break the bonds of apartheid and prejudices.
Guest#95 Jul 22, 2012, 13:01
This is very unfair towards the muslim people. It is our call to prayer and should not affect anyone!
Guest#96 Jul 22, 2012, 13:15

Guest#97 Jul 22, 2012, 13:18
People of the state should have equal rights
Why do you prevent the Call of God?
What have you done for the loud music every where?
Be fair.

We all deserve the freedom of religious practice!

Adhaan method
"The call to prayer (Athaan) is called out from the Mosque`s five times a day, summoning Muslims for mandatory prayers (Salah)." But of course - no-one would disagree with this requirement for the fulfillment of our Salaah on time.
I do believe the method used is under fire, not the Adhaan, per se.
Blasting the neighbourhood with speaker systems is a lot over the top, irrespective of what comes out of the speakers.
Sadly, Muslims are being stirred into a frenzy by disingenuous public figures (so called leaders) who have not and maybe will not expound on the above quote off the call to sign the petition.
With social media, smart 'phones, watches, etc., the Adhaan from the Minarah has become a necessary formality, with reminders from other sources more important as Salaah markers.
To all engaged in the Ramadaan fasting, have a good one!
