The show is to be paired with Isha’a Prayer Adhan in the voice of Mevlan Korchi.
To mark the reopening of mosques in the UAE, the Burj Khalifa, on Wednesday night, was also illuminated with a call to prayer message being played over the public address system.
Mosques and other places of worship all over the country have been closed since March to preserve the safety of citizens and residents.
