: "I heard the call to prayer coming from the loudspeakers at the mosque and this street dog started to join/howl along.

The ezan (call to prayer) summons the faithful to the mosque for these prayers. In Turkey, the call to prayer is a central part of daily life and echoes throughout Turkey at five set times of the day. The exact time of the ezan is determined by the timing of sunset and sunrise.Only in Turkey, Ezan is voiced in five different styles at different times; saba, ussak, hicaz, rast, segah. The call is one of the earliest forms of telecommunication, communicating to people across great distances."
