The call to prayer, or the Adhan announces to Muslims the 5 times that they must pray each day. The Adhan is called from a minaret, which is a tower of a mosque.

The words of the Adhan begin by praising God. They end by calling the people to pray. An additional line is added to the opening of the morning call to prayer: “Prayer is better than sleep.”
