mullahäälte
Mullahäälte is a Finnish term that translates to "mullah voices" or "mullah sounds." It generally refers to the audible call to prayer (Adhan) in Islamic tradition, as heard in Muslim-majority countries. The Adhan is recited five times a day from mosques and is a central practice in Islamic worship. The term "mullah" itself refers to a religious leader or scholar in Islam, and by extension, "mullahäälte" signifies the sound emanating from the places of worship associated with such figures. The intonation and melody of the Adhan can vary slightly depending on regional customs and traditions within the Islamic world, but the core message and purpose remain consistent. It is a call for Muslims to gather for prayer and a declaration of faith. The sound of the mullahäälte is a familiar and often evocative element of the soundscape in many parts of the world. It is not a form of music but rather a liturgical recitation.
