The Adhan has been recited for centuries to announce the five daily prayers in Islam, traditionally called by a muezzin from a mosque minaret and now also broadcast by speakers and apps. Its Arabic phrases praise God and invite worshippers to prayer. Recordings spread widely online through travel footage, documentaries and social media clips recorded in cities across the Middle East, Asia and beyond. It remains commonly searched and reused because its distinctive melody is immediately recognisable and strongly associated with place, time and community.
