Starting tonight at sunset, local mosques will be broadcasting their call to prayer during Ramadan. While people will not be gathering in mosques due to Public Health measures, the call to prayer signals a message of unity and hope for all during these challenging times.

Ummah Masjid and Community Centre in Halifax was my stop on Day 3 of 30 Masjids in 30 Days of Ramadan Canada in 2016.
Back then I posted a video of Adhan Al Maghrib, The Call to Sunset Prayer from inside the Ummah Masjid.
And here we are, The same Adhan Al Maghrib, from the same Masjid in Halifax, only this time it’s an outside Public Adhan via loudspeakers.
So far, that’s Toronto, Scarborough, Markham, Milton, and Pickering in Ontario with Public Adhans during Ramadan 2020.
We can now add Halifax in Maritime Canada to Canada’s Public Adhan in Ramadan 2020 List.
The mosque has sought special permission from the municipal government to broadcast this solidarity prayer. No public health measures will be violated in the process.

"This is a show of unity and solidarity that HRM will overcome these problems & difficult times together," the mosque said in a statement. Listen to the 'adhan'. pic.twitter.com/9GRk8LPuBg
