Call to prayer

My house in Kigali isn't far from one of the mosques in the city, so I frequently hear the call to prayer. Five times each day, the call is broadcast from a loudspeaker at the top of the highest point of the mosque to summon Muslims in the area to pray. Although I can't understand the words of the call, nor do I respond in prayer to Allah, I really do think it's a beautiful tradition.
