Public Adhan @ Emory [Encouragement for other MSAs

        Ramadan Karim everyone! I wanted to share a bit of news that
                is
                cause for exultation for Muslims at Emory Univ. Atlanta, and for
                Muslims
                in all of America.
                         This past Friday, Dec. 8, at 2:01 PM from the University
                BellTower, where, usually Church bells chime, it was the sound of the
                ADHAN that came forth from the loudspeakers; flooding the entire
                university with its majestic simplicity and beauty.
                         The entire University, at lunch time, could hear the Adhan,
                from
                the student centers to people inside classrooms [many muslim students
                in
                class at the time sat near the windows to better hear the Adhan].
                Everything was still. The world, the birds, and the students all
                stopped;
                inundated in the waves of those powerful words. By the fifth verse,
                there
                were a few eyes wet with tears of joy.
                         For 3 minutes and 13 seconds there was hypnosis. At the
                conclusion of the Adhan, the Muslim students gathered at the BellTower
                and
                held a small Dua before heading off to Jummah. Inshallah, this will
                become
                a regular event [every Friday] at Emory University. I encourage all of
                you
                to attempt a way by which to make the Public Adhan a reality at your
                schools. And I hope that you will keep us in your prayers.

                allah ma'ak.

                Ameer U. Shaikh
                President, Emory Muslim Students Ascn.
