ALLAHU AKBAR!! New York City Allows Mosques to Broadcast Call to Prayer Without Permit

New York City has issued new guidance allowing mosques to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer without obtaining a permit. The guidance, which was announced by Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday, applies to the call to prayer that is broadcast on Fridays between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. and during Ramadan, a month-long period of fasting and prayer for the Muslim community.


The call to prayer, known as the Adhan, is a short, melodic chant that is used to summon Muslims to prayer. It is typically broadcast over speakers or a public address system in a mosque.

The new guidance clarifies that the Adhan is not prohibited by sound restrictions in city neighborhoods. This is a significant change, as mosques in New York City have previously been required to obtain a permit to broadcast the call to prayer.

The guidance also states that mosques should be mindful of their neighbors when broadcasting the Adhan. Mosques should not broadcast the call to prayer at a volume that is disruptive to their neighbors.

Mayor Adams said that the new guidance is a way to "cut red tape" and allow mosques to "live their faith in NYC." He said that the guidance is "an important step in ensuring that all New Yorkers are able to practice their faith freely."

The new guidance has been welcomed by Muslim community leaders. They say that it will allow mosques to more easily fulfill their religious obligations.

The guidance is a positive step for religious freedom in New York City. It allows mosques to freely practice their faith without fear of government interference.

In addition to the new guidance, Mayor Adams also announced a number of other initiatives to promote religious tolerance in New York City. These initiatives include:

  • Creating a new office of religious affairs to help religious communities resolve disputes.
  • Investing in security measures for religious institutions.
  • Expanding training for police officers on how to interact with people of different faiths.

These initiatives are a sign that Mayor Adams is committed to creating a more inclusive and tolerant city for all New Yorkers.
