Sahan Journal brings you reliable and authentic news about our newest Minnesotans
For the first time in the history of Minnesota, the adhan was broadcast Thursday evening over an outdoor speaker placed over the rooftop of Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis.
The call to prayer will be broadcast five times a day throughout the month of Ramadan, which began Thursday evening.
“This is a historic moment tonight for us to be celebrating the first call to prayer, adhan, in a major city in the United States,” said Sheikh Abdisalam Adam, board chairman of Islamic Civic Society of America & Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque.
Thanks to a new partnership between the city of Minneapolis, Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque and the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN), Muslims in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood can hear the adhan as they hunker down during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Tonight’s historic call to prayer in Minneapolis will bring comfort and remind the faithful and the neighborhood that as we are physically distant we can still be connected to our faith and mosque,” said CAIR-MN Executive Director Jaylani Hussein.
First Avenue provided technical support and audio equipment to make the call to prayer possible.

My family moved west back in the 40’s thank God.
Minneapolis has has so many years of Dimmocrat rule that I suspect the dark days will continue for eternity. Thank God I had the good sense to relocate 12 years ago to Arizona where dark days are few and life is still very good.
Words fail. I can curse. I can bad mouth. I can say I will do this and that. The bottom line is that this event occurs because “I” am outnumbered by them. How many in this absolutely gorgeous state settled by Scandinavians and Germans will do anything? Most will do nothing as their state is colonized and turned into a sh*thole.
Alahwahoo Whackbar!( sarc.)
Ring the Angelus bells loudly at 6 PM
Sounds like lawsuit time.
Camel’s nose inside the tent...watch for this to become the norm every day in the near future.
The University of Minnesota is located mostly on the East Bank of the Mississippi River, with a bit of it on the West Bank. At least, we called it the West Bank then. It’s also called the Cedar-Riverside District. Back in the 60s it contained apartments that were mostly for students, several restaurants (including Mama Rosa’s, a true hole in the wall, built into the bank of the river), and “Seven Corners” a point where seven roads met at a bend in the river. The area had a friendly, Bohemian atmosphere.
I lived on the east side during my years at the University (The “U” to Minnesotans). I was close enough to the river that in the summer of my Senior year, all the houses on the alley behind us were torn down to build a bridge over the river. That’s the bridge that collapsed a decade ago, killing a number of people in cars at the time of the collapse.
That’s not nearly so bad as what is happening now.
how many ramadans do these guys get? didn’t they just have one in Nov?
If one can get to the speaker wire, push a sewing pin through the wire, thus creating a short circuit between the two conductors, cut off the excess pin sticking out so the deed can’t be seen. It will render that speaker wire useless and may even overheat and hopefully destroy the power amp.
Beats my suggestion....hope someone sees your tip and implements the solution.
they claim where they pray, kick them out, open eyes, Islam is evil, China is evil, we are at war and act like we are not..while we die they grow, how quaint
Hijack the wire. Make the splice hard to find and run your own hidden wire to the speaker. Play the national anthem first then anything else that comes to mind.
