Medina (HRNW)– The pitiful and passionate voice that called the guests of Allah to worship in the Prophet’s Mosque has been silenced forever.
According to Arab media, Sheikh Faisal Noman, who had the honor of giving the call to prayer for 25 years, has passed away. He was officially appointed as the Muezzin in 2000.
Giving the call to prayer was not just a responsibility for Sheikh Faisal Noman, but a family legacy. Both his grandfather and father served as Muezzins in the Prophet’s Mosque. His father attained this esteemed position at a young age and continued giving the call to prayer until he was over 90 years old. Later, Sheikh Faisal Noman was blessed with this privilege.
Sheikh Faisal Noman’s funeral prayer was offered at Fajr, and he was buried in the historic Jannat al-Baqi cemetery in Medina. Jannat al-Baqi is the sacred resting place of the family and noble companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and Sheikh Faisal Noman was laid to rest in this blessed land.
The administration of the Prophet’s Mosque shared his last call to prayer in an emotional message on November 2, marking the final call of his life. They said his voice has now become a permanent part of the atmosphere of the Prophet’s Mosque, which will always resonate in the hearts and ears of worshippers.
Sheikh Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, Head of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, expressed deep sorrow and prayed for the highest ranks and forgiveness for the deceased. He stated that Sheikh Faisal Noman spent his life elevating the message of Allah through the call to prayer, a service that will remain a continuous charity (sadaqah jariyah) for him.
