Why do Muslims sing the call to prayer?

Its not regarded as singing, more of a recital with a tone. The Qur'an is also recited the same way. I believe historically the reason might have been to be loud enough to wake everyone up, as there were no microphones in the 7th century. The azaan is an alarm clock after all.

I don't think there is any particular reason for repeating the verses.

could no longer positioned up with that,time for affirmative acton,shall we've relatively appreciate in this society in the different case pass someplace else.there is not any want for this nonsense,all of them understand the cases,all of them (optimistically) have watches and have learnt to tell the time so why each and all the caterwauling,no longer required in this century. I see somebody who won't be able to cope with the certainty alongside with western society is in an exceedingly petty way giving inverted thumbs to seen solutions,how pathetic.

I believe it's supposed to say all the beliefs of the faith out loud before every prayer and call people to come to the mosque.

Usually it's said by only one person called the muezzin not by everyone in the mosque.

Not to be rude, but are you telling me that Christians and people of every other faith don't "sing the call to prayer"? Are hymns not sung in church?

And in response to Jimmy's answer - I'm Muslim and I've never been "baked" in my life, and neither have any of the Muslims I know. So check your facts before you post fake information on the Internet.

This is not called singing. He is simply reciting in a pleasent manner. We muslims do not call it singing even though it may seem like that to you.

Why not?

Ever attended a Christian Sunday service? They do a lot of singing also.

What is the reason behind believing in god?

They do because they do. Simple as that.

It makes it sound more eloquent rather then just speaking it blandly.

Cause if the said it quietly it wouldnt wake up the whole bloody town with its racket

the entire Quran actually should be recited that way.....it was the way it was revealed
