LOVELY SACRED SOUND ~

[Microglia1]

Really wonderful sound. When I was kid, I hear these every morning. 

[Eierpflanze96]

Genau so klingt sie in Königstein Sachsen

bells are pretty cool, and they're not haram in islam. even the first muslims thought about bells to announce the prayer time, but to avoid confusions (with churches) they decided on prayer calls with human voice. the melody of prayer calls may sound spooky to you, but it represents the traditions of 8th century arabia, what do you expect?

muslims think bells are haram,like dogs,they repulse the angels...said muhammad...keep on ringing...

[Deathrune456]

that's a lie and a slander. muslims actually don't think church bells are haram - they just think the bells are just for christians. that's why muslims use the human voice as their call to prayer.

I heard the bells every day when I was staying at the Gloria Hotel inside the city last summer. It is a beautiful sound.

Much nicer than the Mulsim prayer calls (they just sound spooky.)

i have no problem with the church bell - it does sound nice but sometimes the incessant bell ringings can be irritating to me. despite that, it's the christian call to prayer - it's their religious right, so they have the right to retain it and i respect it and tolerate it. the muslim prayer calls are just spooky because you don't know what the words that are contained in them.

if you're really intrested in meaning of the words:

"god is great. i witness there's no deity except him. i witness mohammed is his messenger. let's pray. let's reach the salvation. god is great. there's no deity except him."

one can't understand the words without knowing arabic, as one isn't able to understand "miserere mei, deus" without knowing latin.

the closet one looks about 22cwt, the middle about 35cwt and the furthest away is about 14cwt so around 1tonne, 1 1/2 tonne, and 1/2 tonne
