The Athan, or call to prayer, is made. Today, with microphones and speakers, many minarets are only used as architectural decoration. However, some minarets are still in use.
Here is the translation of the Athan:
God is the greatest, God is the greatest! (2 or 4 times)
I bear witness that there is no deity except God.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.
Come to prayer, come to prayer!
Come to success, come to success!
(For Fajr, or dawn prayer, some add "Prayer is better than sleep" here, said twice.)
God is the greatest, God is the greatest!
There is no deity except God.
