“Use of loudspeakers in mosques”
Mr. Ahmed Shah has suggested in a letter on July 7, 2013 to follow the Indonesians and put restriction on the use of loudspeakers in the mosques in order to reduce sound pollution and thereby giving relief to the people living close to the mosques. As a Muslim (as the name suggests), Mr. Ahmed Shah knows that the loudspeakers are used for prayer calls, five times a day and lasting only a few minutes each time. Only the morning time prayer call may be disturbing to some people who otherwise normally believe in the proverb, “Early to bed and early to rise is the way to be healthy, wealthy and wise.”
Let us speak about and try to mitigate other environmental pollutions and avert hurting the religious sentiment of ninety percent of the people of this country.
