Muslim nation Indonesia has decided to reduce the sound of loudspeakers making azaan.  People problems faced a lot of problems due to loud noise. However, the mosque council of the country has now taken a decision.

Protesting against the mosque in any way or azaan comes under the category of blasphemy. However, due to increasing health problems here, the mosque council itself took this decision. At the same time, a complaint was registered for the same. However, due to this people become violent hence, the army was called immediately.

Masjid Council took its own initiative 

It is completely the decision of the committee to reduce the sound of loudspeakers for Azaan at mosques. Ahmed Tawfiq, chairman of Jakarta's Al-Iqwan Mosque, said that reducing the volume of loudspeakers is voluntary. We want to maintain social harmony.

After the initiative of the Masjid Council, now the loudspeakers of thousands of mosques have reduced their voice. Most importantly, now the grievances of the people living near the mosques have been sorted.

Lodged an objection

Many people had lodged an objection regarding the loudspeakers of Azaan. At the same time, all online complaints were also received. Health experts believe that the loud sound of speakers is impacting the mental health of people. However, it leads to problems of depression, irritability, and insomnia in people.

Seven and a half lakh loudspeakers 

Masjid Council President Yusuf Kalla said that around 7.5 lakh mosques in the country have no sound system. The council has employed 7 thousand technicians. And has also reduced the sound of loudspeakers of about 70 thousand mosques of the country. Yusuf says that a committee has also been formed for this. Council coordinator Azis says that the loud sound of azaan is an Islamic tradition.

Complaints against the blasphemy law

Indonesia has a blasphemy law. The law of blasphemy can also be applied to people opposing the loudspeakers of Azaan. The mother of 4 children has been sentenced to one and a half years for protesting against the loud sound of Ajan. Not only this, a few days ago in Jakarta, some people complained of loud noise. At the same time, a crowd of thousands of people surrounded their apartment. However, after this, the army had to be called for rescue.

Opposition to Azaan in Germany

Not only this, but in Germany also the opposition to Ajan through loudspeakers has become vocal. In Cologne, one of the major cities of the country, people are also protesting against the loudspeakers installed in the mosque for azaan. At the same time, the mayor had opposed the loudspeaker. However, after this approval, protests started.
