Muezzin (or Muzim)
It's called the Minaret.
A minaret is a distinctive architectural feature of Islamic mosques. It is a tall spire with a conical crown. It is a visual marker to a Muslim community, but its main purpose is to provide a vantage point from which the call to prayer is made.
no for calling to prayer when no laud speaker was invented
A minaret is a prayer tower, where the call to prayer is broadcast.
A Minaret. It is where the call of prayer (Adhan) is called from.
The muezzin climbed the minaret to intone the call to prayer.
As well as providing a visual cue to a Muslim community, the call to prayer is traditionally given from the top of the minaret. In some of the oldest mosques, such as the Great Mosque of Damascus, minarets originally served as watchtowers illuminated by torches (hence the derivation of the word from the Arabic nur, meaning "light"). In more recent times, the main function of the minaret was to provide a vantage point from which the muezzin can call out the adhan, calling the faithful to prayer. In most modern Mosques, the adhan is called not in the minaret, but in the musallah, or prayer hall, via a microphone and speaker system. However, the minaret remains as an architect symbol for the mosque.
It is important because Muslims need the muezzin from the tower to call them to prayer.
