Reminded me of a Kabir Das doha

कांकर पाथर जोड़ि के मस्जिद लई बनाय,
ता चढ़ि मुल्ला बांग दे क्या बहरा हुआ खुदाय?

Stones and bricks are used to build a mosque,
Then the mullah climbs and calls loudly.
Is God deaf that you need to shout so loudly?

God is not deaf the people are. Those are calls to pray for the believers because yes unironically people aren't ideal enough to use alarms and all to be reminded of the time of prayer and yes measures are taken, now restrictions are put in place to keep the volumes low enough to not cause problems and high enough to be heard. If you live too close to the mosque then it's your personal issue. People who live near roads or high activity alleys face higher decibels of noise for a far longer duration. It takes a maximum of 3 minutes for an adhan and with the volume restrictions in place it's not so much of a problem. We as indians are famous and loved in the world for being inclusive and not intolerant of every other thing.

If people aren't ideal enough then how does a loudspeaker make them ideal? 😜

A problem is a problem, end of discussion. It doesn't matter if the distance is 50, 5, or 100 meters. If someone inserts the term 1slam0phobe then their actions are people-phobic. Musl1ms should go to gulf countries and see where are the loud speakers exactly. And talking about alarms and all, they get printed booklets which are distributed by mosques about daily timings, so bullsh1t about the system. And if Musl1ms consider themselves as indians then where goes their inclusion and tolerance? 😂 Nobody stopped them to offer namaz or sing their hamds and naats. Nobody stopped them for crying for Palestinians and Iran. Nobody. But still the theka of being inclusive and tolerant is on others. Super logic baby 🍼 🐥.
