THE CALL RETURNS: Azan Heard in Spanish Church for First Time in 91 Years

In a groundbreaking moment, world-renowned Dr. Ahmed Bilal made history by reciting the adhan (Islamic call to prayer) over the speaker system at the Basilica St. Vincent Ferrer Church in Valencia, Spain. This marks the first time in 91 years that the adhan has been called in a Spanish church.

Dr. Bilal, a distinguished medical professional and recent recipient of the United Nations Global Sustainable Development Award, was granted special permission to access the church’s speaker system. He noted that the church is home to a revered Christian landmark, believed to be the abode of the Holy Grail, which attracts visitors worldwide.

Despite previous attempts by other Muslims, including Allama Muhammad Iqbal, Dr. Bilal’s achievement marks a significant milestone in interfaith relations and cultural exchange. His accomplishment has sparked widespread recognition and admiration for his contributions to promoting peace and understanding through his medical practice and beyond.
