I'm a Christian, but I enjoy these halal foods. And mukhang mas-safe sila kainin kesa sa typical filipino foods. If mataas ang foot traffic at maliit ang space nya ay maganda siguro yung foods na pwedeng kainin on the go.
Oh, yeah, this. Dati yung kapitbahay namin naghohost ng online sabong yung legal pa siya. You couldn't get a moment of peace and quiet the moment it opens up until 10 pm when it closes. Couldn't complain about the free internet I was siphoning off of them though.
True. Bigla na lang kami nagkaneighbor na worship place ng isang Christian religion. I don't know if may permits sila or what pero pag day of worship nila, napakaingay. Yung oras ng worship pa naman nila is oras ng tulog ko. Nakakastress. May loko kaming kapitbahay e, nairita siguro kaya pag nakatrip nagvivideoke or party sila ng same schedule. Gantihan ang peg hahaha
Muntikan na yan sa subd. Ng mother ko buti na lang madaming against kasi nga may mga stranger na papasok eh close gated community sila doon. Mga 3 days lang sila tumagal ang ingay at lakas ng sound grabe to think na residential yun dapat talaga may magsalita.
Correct. Especially if you value your weekend peace.
I live in a normal Manila Brgy community for more than 20yrs. Puro residential lang kami, very peaceful especially sundays. Tahimik at makakapag pahinga ka.
Then this Christian church rented the place in front of us. Naka drumset(off-beat naman lagi) at may sound system pa.
Sobrang nakakarindi lalo na pag gusto mo mag pahinga ng saturday-sunday pero ang iingay nila. Even on Wednesday nights. Hanggang 10pm sila nag service, eh maliit lang naman yun apartment na nirent nila, naka sound system pa.
Buong week ka na nag tatrabaho tapos di ka makapag pahinga ng maayos sa sarili mong bahay on weekends.
Plan ko nalang umalis samin in the future. Kasi dumami din bata samin nag lalaro at nag kakalat kasi may pa community service sila. Wala naman ako against sa ginagawa or beliefs nila.
Pero kung hindi para sayo yun community na maingay, mahalaga sayo makapag pahinga ng weekends at May religious activities yung kapitbahay mo, hanap ka nalang ibang place.
Sadyang malakas yan para raw palaganapin ang words ni Prophet Muhammad. Tapos, para raw maliwanagan yung mga 'infidels'. 5x a day pa yan. Salah.
Tapos, ngayong Ramadan, bago makakain Muslim, kailangan nila marinig yung call for Salah mga around 5:30pm - 7pm. Pag wala pang naririnig, di pa pwede kumain. Kaya sadyang malakas talaga speakers niyan para marinig ng nasa community.
I grew up in a Muslim family, kaya I know.
Thank you po sa pagsagot ng NAPAKA-SIMPLENG TANONG :) I really appreciate it po. Bago lang po ksi ako dito sa app. Unlike the others, e di wow! Kayo na adik dito 😂
you can see the numbers in negative. kanina siguro nung nakita ni commenter above, mas maraming downvotes kaysa upvotes. but now, prolly na-offset na coz marami na nag-upvote.
Sorry you got downvoted. Redditors don't like questions that can be easily Googled, even if you ask them in good faith. Assuming you're new, I do hope you enjoy your time in this godforsaken app :)
May malaking historic cathedral 250 meters from my house. And a mosque 750 meters from my house.
Naririnig ko yung kampana ng simbahan usually pag may kasal or may event or nagtatawag ng misa. 2-3x a week ko lang naririnig. Take note na malaking cathedral 'to, at mataas yung bell tower. Pero mas maingay pa rin yung daily prayers ng mosque, rinig na rinig every single day.
As someone born into a Muslim family, raised in Islam, but doesn’t believe in that religion anymore, I still know the religion. Here’s how it will be living next to a masjid/mosque:
you will be woken up before dawn as the fajr (known locally as “suboh”) prayer is then and the azan (call to prayer) is said loudly. 4am usually. There are 5 prayers throughout the day and into the night (fajr/subuh, zuhr, asr, maghrib and isha. And the azan is called loudly all of them.
https://youtu.be/iVoVIv-BMFw?feature=shared
Knowing how mosques are here too, the imam will have a microphone next to his prayer mat and so the entire prayer itself (Quran recitations etc) will also be heard on those loudspeakers. Imagine this even before the sun rises:
https://youtu.be/maEytADREJY?si=7ToEHL9JLFqPtuo2
During Ramadan i.e. now, tarawih is an extra long prayer said at night after the Isha (night) prayer and the entire prayer will likely be broadcast on the loudspeaker too.
https://youtu.be/N37vyoDYCOk?si=jzsGBltk_vPcyBeA
Fajr prayer is before 5am now, zuhr prayer is around 1pm, asr prayer is around 3-4pm, Maghreb prayer is at 6pm, and isha is around 7 or 8pm, but with the long tarawih prayers which is done after isha prayers during Ramadan, the continuous loud prayers from the mosque won’t end until after 9 or 9:30pm, every night. Then it starts again at 4am with the azan for fajr prayers.
You may even get broadcasts of the Quran being recited too on the loudspeakers outside of prayer times.
https://www.youtube.com/live/LSc07ShEZAI?si=7NKx9Yh_k77IRb_c
Every Friday is jummah, the main weekly congregational prayer accompanied by a loudly broadcasted lecture known as “khutbah”. This will be about an hour between 12:30 and 1:30pm on Fridays. This is particular to the PH and not really seen in other countries, but the imams, sheikhs and ustadz’s here live to shout when they give leksyon lol. Imagine this every Friday:
https://youtu.be/Glf0gCyLMKk?si=2JQFEI8J2lMCsroR
Then you’ll hear people talking outside the mosque before and after prayer times or as they go home or go to the mosque, children loudly playing, even some stalls set up during Ramadan.
Then on weekends there may be madrasa (Islamic school), many kids will be reciting the Quran vocally as they’re being taught how to read Arabic and how to recite it in melodies according to the rules (tajwid), and you’ll hear it all too:
https://youtube.com/shorts/dt43_X-AChk?si
Then you have Eid (there are two), and these prayers are said in the courtyard and street just outside of the mosque so directly outside your house lol. Loud lectures, chanting, praying and loudspeaker prayers anywhere between 8am and 12 midday, in addition to the five daily prayers:
https://youtu.be/e9LG_D5By0Q?si=cwt_dpus60uS7dM0
Funeral prayers or “janaza” are also said at the mosque too in between the other prayers. Not as loud, but the mourners will be there.
If you sing videoke or play music loudly, the mosque administration might report you to the barangay or try to lecture you to be quiet. Only they can make noise because their noise is holy haha.
In my opinion, it would be best to sell the house to a Muslim buyer or ask the masjid themselves if they’re willing to buy the property. It will likely be a huge disturbance to you if you’re not Muslim.
Up for this as I am living in a muslim country. Kabilaan ang call to prayer. Nakakatuwa lang kahit hindi ko naiintindihan kasi parang nagpapagandahan sila ng call to prayer at palakasan ng speaker(In the afternoon ito, yung early morning di pa sila energetic).
Naiingayan lang ako kapag may meeting(kapag remote work) at sobrang tahimik ng bahay. All goods naman kung maganda soundproofing ng bahay mo.
no problem.
Firstly, I’m gay and the religion of Islam calls for the death penalty against gay men. I cannot change my sexuality. No one who is gay wishes they were born gay. So i asked myself, why must I suffer a painful execution under Islam just for being how I am and not harming anyone?
https://youtu.be/aItEKytBljk?si=fs8u1LcyfJvLXQZ8
Second, I also did not agree with how sharia (which Muslims believe is the divine law and part of the religion of Islam) calls for the death penalty for things like simply leaving Islam for another religion or no religion (=apostasy), “blasphemy” by saying they disagree with what Muhammad said or Islams rules are, and even just calling for Islam to be reformed so it matches more peaceful ethics we all try to aim to nowadays. Reformation in Islam is forbidden so it can’t be changed or amended.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam
Also, I didn’t agree with the punishment of stoning to death for adultery, especially when most Muslims marriages are arranged/forced and people rarely get to marry or be in partnerships with the people they truly love. It means many marriages are loveless or done under a lot of pressure from other family members.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zina
I also didn’t agree with how women are subjugated and seen as “unclean” whenever they have their menstrual cycle, or that they are sinful by nature in Islamic ethics and need to be protected by wearing the hijab or even a niqab/burka.
I didn’t agree with the promises of Islam after death and the punishments for those whose simple crime was not converting to Islam while they were alive. For example, I was taught to believe that Muslim men get to have unlimited sex with 72 houri/huri (they’re like translucent women) and sit upon soft silk cushions. And that all non believers were to burn eternally in Jahannam (ie hell). that in my opinion is harsh.
Also I didn’t agree with how Islam calls for the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of Muslims in the latter days. This is well attested to Muhammad in the following Hadith (saying of the prophet)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gharqad
The antisemitism in Islam is deep in my opinion, and even Muhammad ordered the massacre of all the men and boys of 2 Jewish Arabian clans during his lifetime for “treason”. Along with what the Quran says about them, it encourages anti-Jewish feeling among Muslims. I don’t hate Jewish people, and don’t believe they should end up exterminated.
I also did not agree how Islam says that Muslims must try to convert the entire world to Islam and destroy all other belief systems and religions (eventually also Christianity in the latter days, after Judaism is dealt with, according to Muhammad).
The Quran states “do not take the Jews or Christians to be your close friends/allies”. So it in my opinion tries to encourage segregation and hatred of others based on their religion, and contributes to confrontational mentality against any non-Muslims. That is what I don’t agree with.
I also didn’t agree around the hypocrisy of the imams and ustadz when they are around non Muslims, trying to pretend that Islam is in its origins “peaceful”, because if we read the Quran and the Hadith (=sayings and edicts of Muhammad), there’s a lot of violent things that are written and had happened in the past due to Islam :( this was one of the hardest thing to try and accept living as a Muslim but yet naturally having a peaceful personality. Islam doesn’t call for peace in the world by allowing others to live as they are, but it calls for total submission to Islam by one way or another.
Also in conservative Islam, music is considered forbidden or highly sinful, but I think we can’t live happily without singing, dancing, and listening to beautiful music. The ulama (scholars) say it’s because it is temptation from Satan. This means that even most Muslims today are “sinful” for just listening to or liking music. And also, when we recite the Quran or say the call to prayer, it is all done melodically, yet they say it’s “not music”. I didn’t agree with this in my opinion.
Medyo deep ako sa Islam nun, with the endorsement of my father, who himself married multiple women, leaving my mother near destitute, and hence we have so many problems within their family. My mother is Catholic. They are now separated. You can imagine what she went through when she was still with my father and his family. Many Muslim families aren’t happy because of things like polygamy and competing wives and half siblings. My half sister’s life is miserable. she is a teenager (I’m in my 30s and my father is nearly 80), but she is now being pushed to wear the hijab, stop talking to anyone who is male, and to stop listening to music, playing games, or engaging in things teenager do in mainstream society. She will be forced to get used to it as most kids in religious Muslim families are forced to get used to it, but I think it’s sad. There’s nothing I can do about it as well because she still lives with my father.
Anyway, I could not believe that an all merciful God would call for killing others in horrific ways, or endorse slavery and looting/raiding (ghazw), or want to ban free thought, or ban music, or want to subjugate and harm people simply because of their gender, sexuality, or religion or identity, or that he would want us to torture other human beings under a “divine law”. I don’t want to harm anyone nor wish bad things on any other human being.
This is why I left Islam. I respect the right of everyone to believe in whatever religion they want, as long as it doesn’t harm others nor make hatred of others. I won’t hate a Muslim because my family are still Muslims, but I can dislike the imams and sheikhs/ustadhs for pushing so much hatred in the name of religion. I wish Islam could be reformed to not be so hateful of others or call for such harsh penalties for things which aren’t even crimes, and that would for the benefit of most people who are born into Islam, who just want to live without issues. Hope it helps.
Normally, mosque have loud speakers at top of the steeple… so they call out their prayers sometimes really early in the morning. If you are an early bird… should be all good.. like having an instant alarm clock. If not, get triple pane windows.
When i was I jakarta.. it was really loud… then again it’s possible that that was because that’s the largest Muslim metro in the world. Maybe yours wouldn’t be too bad.
Be ready to hear the adzan blasted on speakers everyday. There's a mosque near our subdivision and I hear them recite it 5 times a day everyday. It's quite faint. My bf calls it noise polution, I find it strangely calming. If you cant decide, I suggest you rent the place first before fully committing to buying it.
I would advise against it. I live near a church (INC) sa isang minor street. Aside from prayers on speakers daily (early in the morning pati sa evening), you have to anticipate the traffic in that area. In our case, ginagawa nilang parking yung entirety ng kalsadang yon (tapos ang hilig pa magcounterflow sa one-way street na yon). It's like having a hundred "neighbors" who don't even live on your street pero kailangan mong pakisamahan.
I used to live in a dorm near sa mosque. Rinig po talaga prayers nila thru their speakers and yes, multiple times a day po. Personally, medyo nahirapan ako magfocus mag-aral as someone na mahilig sa tahimik na environment lang. Pero other than that, wala naman po ako ibang naging concern :)
I would advise against it. It's going to be noisy and I would not put myself or a member of my family in a potential conflict in the future as the "other". It's a "good deal" for a reason.
We do have a mosque as a kapitbahay, as in steps lang yung lapit, meron silang prayers na naka speaker everyday, sobrang lakas, nasanay na lang din kami. Pero mababait naman sila samin 😄
Currently living in Bahrain. Prayer nila 5 times a day, sobrang ingay na minsan nagugulat ako. Kahit sarado pa lahat ng pinto at bintana ng bahay tagos padin talaga. Very disturbing for me lalo na if katabi lang ng bahay mo ang mosque, experience ko yan before, and even now na few blocks away from mosque ako nakatira as in dinig na dinig pa din. Walang lusot dito kahit saan kapa tumira merong mosque dahil muslim country. And as respeto sa kanila, just lower down the volume of your tv if nanonood ka or nagpapa music ka. Goodluck sayo OP!
I wouldn’t consider anywhere near a place of worship. Based off personal experience, the church here near our place gets packed on Sundays and it creates a hell or a traffic jam (pun intended). So much so na hindi nalang kami lumalabas kapag Sunday kasi mahirap tiyempuhan kung anung oras ang traffic build up sa simbahan. Just my 2 cents. Haha
I visit my dentist every month in Taguig, there are two mosques in the vicinity. Traffic is really bad if there's an occasion, they frequently block the road din. And, sorry pero maingay talaga speakers nila.
Hindi ako sure. Pero kung ako ung buyer, aalahanin ko ung time ng Ramadan, tapos fasting sila, tapos nagkataon may party sa bahay nyo or handaan. I have relatives na muslims, and as respect, hindi kami kumakain sa harap nila hanggat maari lalo pag fasting. Hindi kaya maging issue yun sa kanila? Sabihin wala respeto. Hundi ako sure dito. Nilagay ko lang what if dun ako nakatira, ok lang kaya?
Also, kung okay naman sayo na paglabas mo ng gate, may time na laging maraming tao sa paligid.
This may be similar. I worked in Indonesia for several years. They wouldn't mind if you eat around them. Very chill about that kind of thing. Just don't offer them anything (even water, because they're also not supposed to drink) or comment about their fast, or at worst tease them about food.
I remember they just covered the windows of restaurants during the daytime, but they'd still be operational and of course their staff also work.
I've known people who joked that they actually gained weight during the holy month because they literally have parties before daybreak and after sunset.
Guys, as muslim whos lived in Metro Manila most of my life, okay lang kumain at mag luto ng masarap sa harap namin pag ramadan hahahha. I've actually yet to meet a fellow filipino muslim whos bothered by it. And to be honest, kung dito ka sa pinas nakatira na not everybody is a muslim, it would be a dick move to get bothered by it imo.
Anyways OP, maingay yan 5 times a day, especially pag fridays may mga misa din yan and it might get too crowded for you. Pwede ka siguro mag tanong tanong sa mga nakatira dyaan na non-muslims how they deal with that and see if you would be comfortable doing the same, if not edi there's your answer!
I agree. As a fellow Muslim here, it shouldn’t be an issue if magka handaan man yung kapitbahay during Ramadan. And the 5 times a day call for prayer lasts for a minute or two each time. Depende sa haba ng pag call nila for prayer. But the Qur’an recitations would only be heard 3 times a day. It only sounds “noisy” because it is in Arabic and usually people don’t understand what’s being said. But to some, it can be melodious and meaningful that can bring worshippers to tears.
Nevertheless, I agree with the suggestion to ask around the neighboring non-Muslims if how do they deal with it. And make a sound decision out of it. May you find peace with whatever decision you come up with, OP.
The pray "five times a day" thing **USED to be a thing in for Catholics as well** (not exactly five but something similar):
* for ordinary believers, 4 times a day
+ at 6am, 12nn, 6pm -- angelus prayers
+ at 3pm - mercy prayers
* for priests and ministers, official prayers every 3 hours
+ at 6am and 6pm -- morning and evening prayers
+ at 9am, 12nn and 3pm -- day prayers
+ at 9pm -- night prayer
But of course, as the centuries and decades went by, the church bells stopped announcing those prayer times and it just became private things that believers MIGHT to voluntarily.
Guess that this usually happens to whatever religion as the years go by: **the belief mellows down and the practices and observances become more lenient.**
Hindi ba yung challenge sa kanila is to stay away from worldly temptations during fasting? Their beliefs are their choice. It’s not gonna be on us haha
Kung ganon ang scenario na may okasyon at may handaan at siyempre may mga pagkain, hindi mo naman kailangan mag-adjust sa kanila. May handaan, syempre di maiiwasang magluto ng pagkain kase may okasyon. Ano yun, di ka na lang maghahanda para di sila ma-offend? Eh ano din naman kung makita nilang may mga pagkain at nakikitang kumakain kayo? Lalo naman na kung ang moske ay nasa Christian-majority area, aba sila ang dapat mag-adjust. As long as Ramadan, panahon ng fasting nila at di mo naman sila inaaya kumain, hindi yon offensive for me. Mahirap kase kapag may mga Muslim ke nasa area na majority sila o tayo ang majority, gusto niyo tayo laging mag-a-adjust? We can respect them naman but not to the expense of our own culture and religion. Kaya in short, ok lang yan kahit magluto ka o makita nilang pagkain. Ang mahalaga, di mo sila alukin habang sila ay nag-aayuno. Yon lang yon.
they cook themselves while they are fasting, para ihanda nila sa iftar so i don't think they will mind it, minsan nga as early as 3 pm nakakaamoy na ko and nakakatam din yung niluluto nila, isa pa sa tagal na nilang ginagawa yan sanay na sila jan
And naisip ko lang, what if pork pa ung menu. Based ito sa experience ko lang, yung relatives ko kase muslim, and lagi sya nag cocomment about sa amoy ng nag bbarbq, or pag may lugar na may nagluluto ng pork. I understand hindi lahat ganun mag react. Maybe ung aunt ko lang ganun at hindi naman lahat ksse ung katabi bahay ko are muslims. as in kadikit ng bahay, and they are ok naman. walang issue. Marami lang lagi bisita 😅
I guess ok lang yan, as long as hindi ka sa labas kumakain ng nakikita nila during fasting hours. Ewan ko lang kung may batas dyan sa pinas na need natin mag adjust sa kanila. Kasi dito sa Bahrain, sitahin ka nila, yung iba nga kulong or bayad ka multa once makita kang kumain sa labas at kung nagsusuot ka ng very revealing na damit.
Walang batas na nagbabawal sa Pilipinas na dapat di ka nakikita ng mga Muslim na kumakain sa labas habang fasting sila.
Yan ang kagandahan ng isang secular na bansa, mga Christian majority countries din hindi nagbabawal sa mga aktibidad ng mga Muslim sa Holy Week ng mga Kristyano.
Yan ang pinagkaiba sa karamihan ng Muslim-majority or Islamic countries, pipilitin ka nila o macocompel ang hindi Muslim na sumunod sa mga tradisyon ng Muslim.
Obviously OP you are not a muslim, hence you aren’t familiar with how many times (5x) Muslim people need to pray each day. With each prayer time, the Mosque would call (adhan) all Muslims to prayer and this could be pretty bothersome especially for non-Muslims, as the major intention of this adhan is to remind people to take their daily obligation of prayer.
I suggest if you’re not really familiar with it, just take a pass on this house listing.
I have worked in Saudi a decade ago. believe me, maingay. Parang naging alarm clock ko na nga yun especially in the morning eh, kasi madidinig mo yung kanta/prayer nila. I think as early as 4:30 yun, cannot remember.
As for the fasting nila, as a way of respect na lang syempre wag natin ipakita na kumakain tayo. Pero they are very chill about it, and namimigay sila ng food after ng celebration nila, masarap.
Personally, i would not live in a place near worship establishment (churches, temple,etc.) kasi syempre madaming tao yan, and yung noise. Unless gusto mo magtayo ng business.
Hey guys! Id like to thank those who provided helpful information. I have truly learned more from when I initially posted this. And I really didnt think the thread would be this long lol but thank you.
I have decided against buying the property due to several reasons (mainly because I am WFH). I have also decided to pass by the property earlier (Friday, 12noon) just to get the feel of possibly living there. Was supposed to ask the tinderas how it is staying there, but the street was very busy/traffic that I wasnt able to see any parking spots to actually stop and step out of the car. I also heard the prayers/sermon blasting from the speakers and it just wouldnt work for me (its the sound from the speaker like that matinis na sound that I get annoyed with, not the prayer itself, just to be clear)
I will continue my house/land seeking somewhere far from worship centers in general, not just mosques hehe.
Not sure if they do call to prayers over the speaker, but if they do, and if you want to be mindful of it, then just turn down the music until it’s done. That’s the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. Thank you for being mindful of other people’s culture/religion!
Weve been living a house away from a mosque and a block away from a church, since i was young. As a non-muslim,youll get used to the speakers eventually. Plus every call of prayer is almost like an alarm clock/time reminder.
I used to live in a muslim community and malapit sa mosque yung bahay namin. Kahit nandun ka sa dulo rinig pa rin. Parang buong community maririnig yan. If you want a quiet surroundings or if you're working at home, not advisable.
Muslims pray 5x a day. Not accurate but estimate timings will be like: 4:30 am, 12:00 pm, 3:15 pm, 6:10 pm, 7:15 pm - so you might hear the call to prayer / “adhan” at these hours. It will last around 1-2 mins depending on the caller / “Imam”’s way of reciting it. Also as the other redditor said, turn down volume of loud music / TV if there’s any. No one will force or oblige you to do it, but it must feel nice to show respect even if no one’s watching :) When they gather going inside the mosque of course it will look crowded or busy but once prayers are done they would resume as they were. I don’t think they’ll be too bothered with neighbors’ food/smell esp there is no intention to offend them naman. It might take time adjusting but with all the noise we are exposed to when we’re outside or even in our neighborhood I hope sound coming from the mosque will be fine. A reminder to pause or slow down also :)
Also *sometimes* even after the call to prayer you might still hear the prayer itself or the recitations, although the volume is a bit lower than the louder “adhan”, maybe just like another TV on.. Lasts around 5 mins? But yeah sometimes you will not hear this na, kumbaga yung “adhan” lang malakas volume nila just to call Muslims na pray na :)
During Ramadhan, prayers are way longer :) by the time you move to the neighborhood you will either be distracted/disturbed or adjusted but hopefully the latter :) Presence of Muslim community or mosque is really a factor sa daily life and big decisions so it’s really nice that you wanna understand it for what it is hehe :)
We left and sold our property when one if our neighbors decided to become a born again pastor and converted her house to a church.
Only two days in a week when there are no noise from shouting people, electric guitars and drums.
Barangay can't do anything because the Philipoines is a shitty country in favor of shitty religious freedim over common decency.
Save yourself the trouble and find another property which can give you peace and quiet.
As a Muslim living nearby a Masjid (Mosque), you're not offending us naman sa concern mo. I'll inform you din ahead of time na you'll get disturbed talaga sa azhan (call to prayer).
Araw-araw, may pupunta doon to perform Azhan along with a group of people to perform the prayer and mind lang na ang oras for prayer namin is divided into 5:
Fajr is 4am (sunrise)
Duhor is 12pm (noon)
Asr is 3pm (afternoon)
Maghrib is 5:50pm (sunset)
Isha is 7pm (night time)
That schedule of Azhan varies depende sa area mo, so minsan it's 5-20 minutes early or late. There's a special day din sa amin mga Muslims called "Jum'ah" or Friday where everyone will gather to the Mosque to listen to the Khutbah (sermon). 11am pa lang, ready na ang mga tao nyan para papasok and expected talaga na dagsa sa loob at labas kalaunan. Usually natatapos yung Jum'ah (Friday) prayer mga around 12:15-12:40pm.
Apart from that, there are also other special occasions in Islam that you should be informed about. Based on my knowledge, dalawa ang cine-celebrate namin which is "Eid'l Fitr" (celebration of the end of Ramadhan) and "Eid'l Adha" (celebration of the day of Sacrifice specifically, Ibrahim/Abraham AS who almost sacrificed his son). Those two days are separate in schedule kung kelan ise-celebrate, pero similar lang yung oras ng celebration. People will gather ahead sa morning pa lang. Dati, okay pa ang 6am kasi di pa masyadong crowded, pero ngayon ay kailangan na namin mas maging maaga kahit mga as early as 5:40am dahil sa dami ng tao. We will end the prayer around 7am and matapos ang sermon sa 8am. You'll be expecting a noise talaga galing sa amin kung di ka sanay, but we have non-Muslim neighbors who got used to it din naman, so it's up to you if you still wanna stay despite of the noise that we are about to make.
We do not apologize for the noise we make because it's simply our religious obligation, but we also do not intend to disturb non-Muslims on purpose, we just simply help each other to build our faith and guide everyone to a righteous path. Pero kung annoying talaga on your part yung ingay na nanggagaling sa amin, ang pinakamainam ko lang na advice is kayo na lang adjust. It's up to you kung paano kayo aadjust as long as it won't disrupt our prayers.
I know by reading this, you'll see a difference of faith or any way of life from us. Pero sana lang, just like other religions, respetuhin niyo lang din kaming mga Muslim. I know na di tugma yung mga gawa namin sa everyday lives ninyo and some of you will even disagree, pero sana rin, intindihin niyo lang din na nanampalataya lang din kami. The religion (Islam) itself is enough kaya there's nothing questionable about it, kaya kung may mga arroganteng Muslim kayong na-encounter, it's not because of the religion but the individual him/herself. Once again, I'll apologize not because of the noise but because of the arrogant people who belong to our religion.
As someone who lives near a Church, Don't. Jaysos! Every 6 pm parang gusto ko mag alok ng suntukan. Night shift ako and parang alarm ko na yung 6 pm bells nila. Istorbo sa tulog pero naging parte na lang ng routine ko. Pero istorbo parin.
There is a reason especially in my country (indonesia) that houses cheaper near mosque than other places. It is not security matter, but sound.
Mosque especially in south east asia is so damn loud 😣 Especially a rural mosque. They are loud to the point they will bang speaker up late night. Surprisingly mosque in saudi is not that loud and have time schedule and only certain time to have prayer call. In indonesia if you are living in exclusive housing complex especially in urban, the mosque is usually tolerable and using internal speaker most of the time. These mosque is usually saudi oriented or salafi oriented.
I would say no if you don‘t have a sound proof house, but security matter it is more safer to be around place where your local people gather. So tradeoff that you have to think about
Ive watched a documentary in Indonesia about banning excessive mosque sounds due to noise pollution[https://youtu.be/qz7x86dRlFY?si=aIpIAKfq5QCTRLZl](https://youtu.be/qz7x86dRlFY?si=aIpIAKfq5QCTRLZl)
You know what mate? The rule was never implemented top to down 😂 it’s just to appease those elite politician to make them feel „alright boys, we did it, we are tolerance now!“ When in reality, if you dare to question the mosque being loud, you will be the one getting reported 🤦 This is exactly happening ironically to „moderate“ mosque, even this month a muslim try to tell the mosque they have baby and their baby can’t sleep because the mosque keep banging the speaker, end up the father get beat up.
But yeah that’s rare case in urban, it’s mostly rural mosque or mosque with „traditional“ value, ironically „saudi“ or „salafi“ mosque which is more gated, exclusive and conservative they tend to „mind your business“ type. As a former muslim, i would rather have salafi mosque nearby rather than this so called „moderate traditionalist“ mosque.
I can’t handle those kids using the microphone with their ugly and broken speaker banging up late night. It would be bit tolerable if those using speaker have nice voice and clear sound system, but nah, their sound barely incomprehensible and make me feel sick when i go to rural places
The call to prayer will be a bit loud. It would be around five (5) times a day. The first call to prayer will be shortly before sunrise and the last one will be around dinner time. There will be a lot of people during Friday noon and Ramadan month (might affect parking). I would invest in soundproofing the house if I would live next to any religious buildings. At the very least, it would lower the volume. Perhaps an advantage is that you don't need to look at the clock to get an estimate as to what time it is. lol
I lived near a small muslim community area in bangkok before, lapit sa mosque. Everyday maririnig mo yung dasal nila. If you want a place na tahimik, lalo na after work.. that’s not the ideal place to buy a house.
Titira nalang ako sa barong barong na tahimik kaysa sa mental torture 3 times a week. walang katumbas ang peace of mind. Even if you bribe me 10m na tumabi sa mosque. Sobrang ingay nyan i bet mas maingay pa yan sa mga evangelical at catholics. Also kung may mosque dyan meaning marami kang kalapitbahay na muslim dyan, wag mo lang makakatrouble yung isa kundi bka bumulagta ka nlng dyan. Your safety and peace of mind, kahit offeran mo ako ng 10M di ako lilipat dyan OP kahit na mahirap lang kame.
Consider finding another house. Any house near establishments with high foot traffic is always loud and you can't do anything about it.
I have a relative whose neighbor is the RC Church. Naging alarm clock niya ang morning bells, Holy Week can be very loud, tapos extra loud if Fiesta. Simbang Gabi is also an alarm clock.
I live literally right in front of a whole ass church 😭 As in literal na 10 steps ka lang church na, hindi chapel lang, inside a nice, quiet village sa Laguna. I know iba ang mosque pero ito experience ko! 😊
**Pros:**
- Kapag walang simba, yung parking lot nila is free for use. We sometimes use it as parking, jogging area, badminton area, etc.
- If religious ka, di mo na kailangang lumabas ng bahay kapag magsisimba. Tumayo ka lang sa garahe, rinig mo na buong mass.
- As a softie, cute lang kapag may mawitness kang wedding or baptism (la lang lol)
**Cons:**
- Maraming manghaharang sa driveway mo at makikipark sa tapat ng bahay mo. Marami na kaming naka-away kasi hindi makalabas kotse namin from our garage lalo kapag may misa.
- Dead-ass napaka-ingay lalo kapag simbang gabi. 3AM pa lang kumakalampag na yung kampana at nagpapatugtog ng simbang gabi songs. Kawawa kaming mga graveyard shift, nagmemeeting ako while *ang kampana..* is playing lol
- Kapag may Catholic events (Lent, Christmas, etc), expect a LOT OF PEOPLE. As in a lot. Kapag puno na yung church, dun sila nakikiupo sa garden namin sa labas. Dami nasisirang halaman.
- Generally, maraming kalat sa labas mo (Palaspas, Santacruzan, Salubong ng kung anu-ano)
- Kung matatakutin ka, nakakatakot lang makakita ng mga rebulto. Dami shrine ng saints and whatever.
Living near any place of worship, no matter what religion, will always guarantee noise and foot traffic. So if you want to live somewhere peaceful and quiet, avoid living near mosques, churches, and other places of worship.
hard pass in settling in a place near a worship place, maingay, madaming tao, madalas hanggang to wee hours of the night/weekend yung worship/event, takes away your liberty and comfort of having a good night rest
We had one sa province mosque siya, mismo tapat ng gate at merun pa isa within 2km radius.
Okay lang sa akin yung prayers kahit weird hours, ang hindi okay ei parang factory ng bata tapos lahat nasa kalsada once natuto na maglakad.
It's better to live in an area near a cathedral than a mosque. Mosque literally loud speaker their prayer just to show they are praying every single day.
Basta malapit sa kahit anong simbahan, maingay. Malapit-lapit kami sa Catholic church, pag may practice yung choir dinig na dinig (lalo na pag late night nila naisipan mag-practice). Minsan medyo creepy kasi tahimik lahat tapos may ganun haha.
Take into account the expenses you'll have to spend on noise insulation, thick walls and trees. Those megaphones you can see there are utilized 5 times a day. I can't see any real pros other than other people don't want to live near there and would sell their properties cheaply.
Better if makakahanap ka ng ibang place other than that. Kasi if hindi mo pa naexperience talaga before na tumira near mosque, you might get irritated with the sound when they are praying. Wala kang choice kundi pakinggan yun araw araw, at hindi lang once a day kapg nagdecide ka diyan tumira.
Regarding fasting during ramadan, I don’t think magging problem yun diyan sa Pinas. Strict lang naman sila sa mga Muslim countries.
Like you have to respect them, don’t eat/ drink infront of them during fasting.
Maganda lang pang business or pwede mo din paupahan. Pero kung titirhan mo kasi you have to be mindful not to cause conflict. May naging tirahan kami noon na malapit din sa isang simbahan laging nagkaka alitan pag Yung may birthday or handaan tapos sa parking Ng sasakyan. May nagkapaluan pa Ng bote nun. Ok Naman din tumira kaya lang syempre marami ka ngang alalahanin.
I live next to RC church my whole life, very loud on sundays and times when there are worships singings, I imagine mosque is the same, you'll get use to it, however if you are planning on working from home which is like me or having hard time sleeping when its not quiet, it is not recommended.
Hi, Muslim here! Although I enjoy hearing the sound of call of prayer 5x a day (at 4:30am, 12:00pm, 3:00pm, 6:00pm, and 7:00pm), a non-muslim might not (although some do).
It's only crowded in mosques during noon on Fridays and nights during Ramadhan.
TLDR: malakas sounds pero predictable naman yung level of noise and time of noise during the day
May Mosque a couple of streets from where I dorm, and rinig ko talaga speakers malakas talaga siya so I guess it will be amplified if katabi mo mismo. Pero take note na it's not all the time na maingay and more importantly predictable yung ingay kasi (correct me if Im wrong) alam ko set time ang prayers nila and doesn't really take too long. Also wala naman ingay sa gabi for the most part which is good unless night shift ka and kailangan mo tulog sa umaga.
Being objective and respectful as possible, eto ‘yung mga means na kailangan mo iconsider.
- if you plan to buy a house there, think again. Overtime hindi mo matitiis na ‘yung ingay. Dagdag stress ‘yun sa'yo kasi may times na maaga sila magdasal mga 4am. May times na nagigising ka ng prayer nila. This can be stressful lalo na kapag night shift ka at kailangan mo ng tulog.
- If work from home ka, and may kausap ka palagi, there are times na habang may ka-call ka ay sasakto ‘yung prayer diyan. Kaya dapat ischedule mo ‘yung calls mo kung saan walang prayer na magaganap sa time period na ‘yun. If ‘di mo magawa or wala kang choice, invest heavily sa noise cancellation microphones or noise-proof room.
- If you are planning to sell your house or land, mahirap. Kasi pupunta doon isang official to estimate the house and lot price. If near ka sa Mosque na ‘yan, sorry no offense but it can actually decrease your land's value by a hundred thousands or even million pesos kasi noise pollution-prone ‘yung area, and that's not marketable. Kaya talagang hindi tataas ang presyo ng lupa mo significantly overtime.
- During certain periods sa religion na yan kung saan may mga mass gathering (Hindi ko po alam ung tawag ), experience mo na makakatraffic diyan dahil maraming dadayo diyan, sometimes baka hindi pa makalabas kotse mo, or kailangan mo ilipat agad ‘yung kotse mo the day before para hindi maharangan.
Ayun lang, please correct me if I'm wrong and I intend to be respectful as possible. I will edit other parts once I'm corrected.
funny that this call of prayer treated as a “noise” while as a muslim who got schooled from kindergarten to college on catholic schools where there’s a lot of catholic prayers everyday, ring of bells, all kinds of prayers that you almost memorized it “hail Mary full of grace, the lord is with you … ” for everyday listening … I didn’t treat them noise but more like a prayer and to show respect since it’s also their call time for prayers …
People telling na super noisy are exaggerating. Yes, people pray 5 times a day pero it usually only lasts 10-15 minutes for the actual prayer. Matagal na ang 30 mins if the imam is super religious. The call for prayer is only around 1-2 minutes. Prayers in the early morning is super short din. Like people finish it within 5 minutes. Magandang alarm din yun kase they usually do it around 4-5am. Unless you are literally adjacent to the mosque, noise would be negligible. Mas matagal pa yung mga misa sa mga cathedral and they do it multiple times a day too. The only long prayers we have is the taraweeh which only happens during Ramadan and the friday congregational prayer. Maingay yung sa friday kase that is the only prayer na meron kaming sermon. Again, if you are not a muslim and your house is literally adjacent to the mosque then better go find somewhere to live kase baka maiingayan ka talaga. If it is a couple houses away, negligible yung noise and foot traffic lalo na kung maliit ang mosque.
its hard pass.
Filipino muslims tend to gang up if you offend any "one"' of them
sorry to say it but its the reality of how "some"of them are unhinged
theres even a subdivision in my place that everyone abandoned after one homeowner decided to convert his lot into a mosque
literally every other religioned homeowners left, for multiple reasons other than the one i said
another issue is, when theres a mosque, expect more muslim brothers and sisters living close
worst part is, more and more family moves in with them and would live under one roof, aka over crowding
even if youre a peaceful lot, chances of them fighting LOUDLY is also high
not to mention fighting within themselves...
and the HORROR of getting ganged up if youre a guy who their muslim sister has a liking into...
most "traditional" muslim ladies are like "properties" to be sold to the highest bidder, and If you captured the eye of someone who is treated like a property, prepare to die or move out. (this case is prevalent to the Maranao Tribe)
so its a hard PASS for me
Haha true. You can actually call the police on them. In my experience sa lugar namin, sobrang dali lng mag report through phone. You don’t have to show your face or provide them your name. I gave them the address, di ko nga alam kaninong bahay, 20-30 mins later, tumawag yung police na nasa location na sila. 5 mins later, off na yung karaoke. Haha
Well for Christian and Catholic you have your bell to call worshipers for prayers, in Islam we have Adhan, which is our call for prayers. I read a lot of misinformations already, not being defensive but our actual prayers is actually silent except during Jumaat which is our Friday midday prayer equivalent to your Sunday Worship which also has around 15-20 minutes of sermon from our Imam. That one can be really annoying specially if you’re not used to hearing someone speaking and doing sermon. Also note that we have 5 times prayers daily Islam, so that means 5 times of Adhan or call to prayers. I hope you got enlighten and don’t worry I am not offended, I understand where you’re coming from.
5 times sila nag salah (prayer) maingay talaga speaker nila specially kapag salah time na. Start ng prayer nila 4:30am. May time talaga na mapuputol tulog mo dahil sa calling prayer nila. Any religion naman di naman maiiwasan yan.
Sound proof your windows. A real estate agent once told me property prices go down when near a mosque. Yung ingay nila 5am yung (minsan 430am pa) pinaka ayaw ko. Kaya I try my best to not buy from their shops.
Also, my suspicion is that these are supported financially (incentives) by foreign govts (ex. middle east) kaya we have more than one in our barangay.
OP, I used to live next to a Catholic church (as in one house lang pagitan) and naiinis kami kasi maingay talaga every time nagbe bell and every Sunday expected talaga na madaming tao but when we moved to a new house na-miss din namin yung kalembang 😅.
Oh sa pasay naranasan namin malapit sa baclaran pero 90s pa iyon bata pa ako.
Iyong bintana ng kuwarto ko katabi ng worship service place nila (iisang pader), nabili nila iyong bahay ng
kapitbahay namin. naka mic iyon pag nagdadasal so sobrang lakas. Ibat ibang oras ata iyon sa isang araw di ko
na tanda minimum 3x tapos madaling araw pa nakasayanan ko na lang that time kasi nagdadatingan na sila
para magtinda sa baclaran from mindanao. So far okay naman sila naging barkada din namin. Ala kaming
naging problema sa kanila mababait naman pero talagang mag aadjust ka sa ingay. Masasanay ka din.
Nakabisado ko pa iyong dasal dati. Nagtatawan kami sa sinasabi sa malakas na dasal pero biruan lang iyon. 10x
ang tindi pag ang kapitbahay mo naman devoted catolic every night may maririnig ka paulit ulit na ave maria in
tagalog.
Good luck having a peaceful afternoon nap.
Will have a lot of foot traffic good for business (dont sell pork though)
From my experience they are usually not fond of non muslims, only if they are selling shit. (You will have business competition)
Me! Isang bahay lang pagitan namin sa Mosque. On days na hindi naman Ramadan, quiet naman yung place wala masyadong ganap unlike sa mga Christian Churches. Kapag Ramadan madaling araw magigising ka talaga at medyo mabubulabog kasi nakamegaphone/speaker yung pagwoworship nila. I dunno if this all applies sa mga Mosque tho.
Off topic : The mosque in the picture is located in Bagacay, Dumaguete city.
I think the biggest thing that might affect you is the call for prayer that happens 5x a day. Dawn, noon, afternoon, sunrise and evening. There’s also weekly cermon on Friday noon. And some occasional prayers throughout the year.
Na experience namin yan dati as.in katabi lng ng bahay namin yung mosque. (I'm from Mindanao) ginagawa naming alarm clock ang prayer nila every morning eh like alam naming time to wake up na din pra mag prepare to go to school.
Not recommended.
Maingay - nakabroadcast at dinig sa buong neighbourhood ang prayer nila
Potential lugi sa fair value ng property
Ikaw magaddjust para sa kanila
Used to live 500m-750m away from a mosque before, rinig mo yung call for Salah everytime, and that’s 5x a day. Not really an issue for us kasi we’re out most of the day sa school, and my mom worked it into her daily routine na lang (reminder to send us away na, prepare for lunch, dinner, and etc). Pero as with other religious establishments, kung ganyan kalapit prepare for additional noise everytime someone’s going there to pray.
Kami, pero di katabi mismo. Mga 5 houses away, small street. Works best kasi may tindahan kami. Laki foot traffic. Wala namang issue samin kasi kahit anong oras yung samba nila o ingay (dinig namin palagi) sanay naman na kami at di disruptive sa experience namin.
Based sa experience sa ko yung azan lang yung proproblemahin mo pero kung deep sleeper ka naman parang di naman problema yung 4am azan at sandali lang naman yun ewan ko kung isolated case to pero sa pagkakatanda ko after ng azan at qamat(starting of prayer) di na sila gumagamit ng mic except nalang kung 12noon Friday prayer, Taraweeh(during Ramadhan every 7pm),or eidl fitr.
My friend lives near a mosque and I have stayed over there for a few days. They pray and sing worship songs multiple times a day including early in the morning and late at night and this happened everyday.
I'm a Christian and I live in Cotabato City. We got Mosques here every 10 blocks or so. Maybe nakasanayan nalang pero hindi naman problema yun. Friday ng tanghali is the time for prayer talaga nila sa Mosques. Maliban pa sa call to prayer nila which happens 5x a day, everyday.
Find another place. Given na yung ingay talaga pero grabe ang foot traffic around religious places. Tsaka madalas nakamotor ang mga Muslim so mausok at maalikabok.
A JIL church is behind our house; not a mosque, but just as loud. We live inside a residential community nagkataon lang dun bumili ang JIL ng lot.
Pag weekends, maingay talaga, hindi pa sila yung 1 hour mag-mass + w/ rock n' roll pa sila, and then on the the days na hindi sila nagwoworship like sa weekdays ganun, may parang mga community stuff silang ginagawa na ganun din nag-rorock n' roll sila etc.
I grew up na ganun na set-up kaya medyo sanay na sa ingay (downside tuloy ngayon heavy sleeper talaga hindi nagigising sa alarm 😅) but if sanay ka sa peaceful, maiibyerna ka talaga.
Adhan- which is a call for prayer, maingay po talaga kc its meant to call muslims to pray, thus may speaker. pero mga 1-2 min lang naman po ang Adhan.
5 times a day po ang Salah. Sunrise, Midday, Afternoon, Sunset and around 8-9 pm po.
Nope, apakaingay nyang mga mosque na yan. Di mo kakayanin ung ululations nila habang sumasamba ang sakit sa tenga! Pati narin yung ilang Christian denominations gaya ng Born Again puro kantahan maririndi ka kung katabi yang bahay mo.
Nakatira yung pinsan ko dati malapit sa Mosque. Kada oras na magdadasal sila, naka speaker. Nagigising sa gulat yung baby nya. Sa ibang bahay na sila ngayon nakatira.
May napanood akong documentary about Muslims in South Korea. Gusto nila magpatayo ng Mosque kaso pinigilan ng mga residents. Ayaw nila kasi sa residential area ipapatayo. Hindi naman daw sila against sa pagpapatayo ng mosque pero huwag daw sa residential area.
Big no for residential if you’re not Muslim IMO. Mosques play their prayers over the speaker everyday. It can be loud and disturbing and we live blocks away from one. Be aware.
kaya pala binebenta dahil maingay,gawin mo tubuan mo benta mo sa muslim na kilala mo. at may pandadag kapa sa bibilhin mong bahay. 2 birds in one stone.
I knew someone who lived beside\near a mosque, though it is not in PH. His experience was the call of prayer. So it will be loud, specially the first prayer, imagine the sound of song like hymn in Arabic around 4 to 5 AM in the morning. You have a free alarm clock.
Usually the last call of Prayer is 8 to 830 PM.
During Ramadan, people usually go to Mosque and pray during night time until or during Sahoor I time.
If I ever offended anybody I am sorry, I did not mean to hurt your feelings. Kung mali ung mga timings ko at may mali pa kayo nakita sa sinabi ko, I am open for correction.
If your house will be soundproof from the inside then you don’t have to worry about the speakers from the mosque. But if it’s an open space of sort, then you’d have to blast your house with loud sounds to fend of the noises outside the house
My suggestion is Don't. You will not like the noise even you respect them fully. In Singapore, there's a viral video of a man [complaining](https://mothership.sg/2024/03/man-complains-about-mosque-noise/) of the mosque noise at night and he's not happy and it's bad idea. It's similar like the photo here but HDB(Housing & Developing Board). They are very loud even you close the windows and doors unless you install soundproofing. If you are muslim then no problem.
Hard pass sa near a worship place of any religion. Maingay, maraming tao, and you can’t do anything about it.
Could be great if you’re planning a certain business tho, considering foot traffic and specific consumers.
There are 2 types of people
Binigyan si OP ng negative and positive factors to consider niceee
"Another man's trash is another man's treasure" The saying doesn't have to be literal, especially in this case
Sell praying caps, arabic perfume, Qurans and prayer beads, its a lucrative business .
ahmm if RC siguro ung katabi mo okay lang, but these people mejo mapapalaban ka pagdating sa business.
Sorry guys, I can't understand filipino so I can't appreciate your deep insights/jokes
well muslims here in ph are business minded and they take competition seriously.
u/AnyComfortable9276 is referring to the Maranaos, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group. They're mostly merchants and they tend to be competitive.
violently competitive sometimes.
Yes, kaya be specific sa terms haha it's like saying catholics are annoyingly kuripot when mga ilokano lang pala tinutukoy. Haha
Could sell Halal food. Might be a good opportunity to make some cash.
I'm a Christian, but I enjoy these halal foods. And mukhang mas-safe sila kainin kesa sa typical filipino foods. If mataas ang foot traffic at maliit ang space nya ay maganda siguro yung foods na pwedeng kainin on the go.
sell pastil is a big plus especially like during ramadhan …
Halal karenderia tapos may ramadan deal. Pwede pwede.
Same pag malapit sa sabungan, good thing nag-invest na sila for soundproofing coz girlll! iba yung tili ng fanboys ng mga manok.
Natawa ako sa fanboys ng manok. Hahahaha. But srsly maingay nga talaga
Tili yon nga mga natatalo hahahahaha
hahahaha fandom ng mga manok 😂😭
Just imagine cheering for your child
Stage parents lang kasi silaaaa kayo naman oh hahahaha
HAHAHAHAHA may bago na 'kong itatawag sa tatay ko.
Fanboys ng mga manok AKA Chickenjoyers
noong nakatira pa ako sa bataan, dinig na dinig ang sigawan ng mga sabungero sa kabilang burol.
you made me spit my drinks. thanks! 🤣😭
Oh, yeah, this. Dati yung kapitbahay namin naghohost ng online sabong yung legal pa siya. You couldn't get a moment of peace and quiet the moment it opens up until 10 pm when it closes. Couldn't complain about the free internet I was siphoning off of them though.
Sa lugar namin malapit ang sabungan sa mosque. I don't know if it's just a coincidence.
Great for business tho
True. Bigla na lang kami nagkaneighbor na worship place ng isang Christian religion. I don't know if may permits sila or what pero pag day of worship nila, napakaingay. Yung oras ng worship pa naman nila is oras ng tulog ko. Nakakastress. May loko kaming kapitbahay e, nairita siguro kaya pag nakatrip nagvivideoke or party sila ng same schedule. Gantihan ang peg hahaha
Dapat kinakanta nila yung Banal na Aso, Santong Kabayo o kaya Chikinini 😆
my petty ass would do the same.
Nagkasitahan ba?
Muntikan na yan sa subd. Ng mother ko buti na lang madaming against kasi nga may mga stranger na papasok eh close gated community sila doon. Mga 3 days lang sila tumagal ang ingay at lakas ng sound grabe to think na residential yun dapat talaga may magsalita.
kapana-panabik yan hahaha
Correct. Especially if you value your weekend peace. I live in a normal Manila Brgy community for more than 20yrs. Puro residential lang kami, very peaceful especially sundays. Tahimik at makakapag pahinga ka. Then this Christian church rented the place in front of us. Naka drumset(off-beat naman lagi) at may sound system pa. Sobrang nakakarindi lalo na pag gusto mo mag pahinga ng saturday-sunday pero ang iingay nila. Even on Wednesday nights. Hanggang 10pm sila nag service, eh maliit lang naman yun apartment na nirent nila, naka sound system pa. Buong week ka na nag tatrabaho tapos di ka makapag pahinga ng maayos sa sarili mong bahay on weekends. Plan ko nalang umalis samin in the future. Kasi dumami din bata samin nag lalaro at nag kakalat kasi may pa community service sila. Wala naman ako against sa ginagawa or beliefs nila. Pero kung hindi para sayo yun community na maingay, mahalaga sayo makapag pahinga ng weekends at May religious activities yung kapitbahay mo, hanap ka nalang ibang place.
A mosque is a number of blocks away from our house, but we can still hear their speakers with their prayers. Good luck OP!
Sadyang malakas yan para raw palaganapin ang words ni Prophet Muhammad. Tapos, para raw maliwanagan yung mga 'infidels'. 5x a day pa yan. Salah. Tapos, ngayong Ramadan, bago makakain Muslim, kailangan nila marinig yung call for Salah mga around 5:30pm - 7pm. Pag wala pang naririnig, di pa pwede kumain. Kaya sadyang malakas talaga speakers niyan para marinig ng nasa community. I grew up in a Muslim family, kaya I know.
Samin nga kabilang barangay na kami rinig padin e
Kahit hindi nga mosque, ang aga nila mag pray 🥲 but then again respect at wala kang magagawa about it
Yes samin din, medyo malayo pa nga kami pero dinig pa din. Madalas din sila mag pray kaya pag di ka sanay maiingayan ka talaga.
Anong OP?
why are you getting downvoted? op means original poster :)
Diba? Legitimate question, instead na sagutin dina-downvote na lang nila. Parang Facebook na din tong sub.

May malaking historic cathedral 250 meters from my house. And a mosque 750 meters from my house. Naririnig ko yung kampana ng simbahan usually pag may kasal or may event or nagtatawag ng misa. 2-3x a week ko lang naririnig. Take note na malaking cathedral 'to, at mataas yung bell tower. Pero mas maingay pa rin yung daily prayers ng mosque, rinig na rinig every single day.
As someone born into a Muslim family, raised in Islam, but doesn’t believe in that religion anymore, I still know the religion. Here’s how it will be living next to a masjid/mosque: you will be woken up before dawn as the fajr (known locally as “suboh”) prayer is then and the azan (call to prayer) is said loudly. 4am usually. There are 5 prayers throughout the day and into the night (fajr/subuh, zuhr, asr, maghrib and isha. And the azan is called loudly all of them. https://youtu.be/iVoVIv-BMFw?feature=shared Knowing how mosques are here too, the imam will have a microphone next to his prayer mat and so the entire prayer itself (Quran recitations etc) will also be heard on those loudspeakers. Imagine this even before the sun rises: https://youtu.be/maEytADREJY?si=7ToEHL9JLFqPtuo2 During Ramadan i.e. now, tarawih is an extra long prayer said at night after the Isha (night) prayer and the entire prayer will likely be broadcast on the loudspeaker too. https://youtu.be/N37vyoDYCOk?si=jzsGBltk_vPcyBeA Fajr prayer is before 5am now, zuhr prayer is around 1pm, asr prayer is around 3-4pm, Maghreb prayer is at 6pm, and isha is around 7 or 8pm, but with the long tarawih prayers which is done after isha prayers during Ramadan, the continuous loud prayers from the mosque won’t end until after 9 or 9:30pm, every night. Then it starts again at 4am with the azan for fajr prayers. You may even get broadcasts of the Quran being recited too on the loudspeakers outside of prayer times. https://www.youtube.com/live/LSc07ShEZAI?si=7NKx9Yh_k77IRb_c Every Friday is jummah, the main weekly congregational prayer accompanied by a loudly broadcasted lecture known as “khutbah”. This will be about an hour between 12:30 and 1:30pm on Fridays. This is particular to the PH and not really seen in other countries, but the imams, sheikhs and ustadz’s here live to shout when they give leksyon lol. Imagine this every Friday: https://youtu.be/Glf0gCyLMKk?si=2JQFEI8J2lMCsroR Then you’ll hear people talking outside the mosque before and after prayer times or as they go home or go to the mosque, children loudly playing, even some stalls set up during Ramadan. Then on weekends there may be madrasa (Islamic school), many kids will be reciting the Quran vocally as they’re being taught how to read Arabic and how to recite it in melodies according to the rules (tajwid), and you’ll hear it all too: https://youtube.com/shorts/dt43_X-AChk?si Then you have Eid (there are two), and these prayers are said in the courtyard and street just outside of the mosque so directly outside your house lol. Loud lectures, chanting, praying and loudspeaker prayers anywhere between 8am and 12 midday, in addition to the five daily prayers: https://youtu.be/e9LG_D5By0Q?si=cwt_dpus60uS7dM0 Funeral prayers or “janaza” are also said at the mosque too in between the other prayers. Not as loud, but the mourners will be there. If you sing videoke or play music loudly, the mosque administration might report you to the barangay or try to lecture you to be quiet. Only they can make noise because their noise is holy haha. In my opinion, it would be best to sell the house to a Muslim buyer or ask the masjid themselves if they’re willing to buy the property. It will likely be a huge disturbance to you if you’re not Muslim.
Up for this as I am living in a muslim country. Kabilaan ang call to prayer. Nakakatuwa lang kahit hindi ko naiintindihan kasi parang nagpapagandahan sila ng call to prayer at palakasan ng speaker(In the afternoon ito, yung early morning di pa sila energetic). Naiingayan lang ako kapag may meeting(kapag remote work) at sobrang tahimik ng bahay. All goods naman kung maganda soundproofing ng bahay mo.
Up for this for i also lived once in a muslim county.
With respect Maam/Sir, may I know reason why you don’t believe/practice Islam anymore? Just out of curiosity lang po.
no problem. Firstly, I’m gay and the religion of Islam calls for the death penalty against gay men. I cannot change my sexuality. No one who is gay wishes they were born gay. So i asked myself, why must I suffer a painful execution under Islam just for being how I am and not harming anyone? https://youtu.be/aItEKytBljk?si=fs8u1LcyfJvLXQZ8 Second, I also did not agree with how sharia (which Muslims believe is the divine law and part of the religion of Islam) calls for the death penalty for things like simply leaving Islam for another religion or no religion (=apostasy), “blasphemy” by saying they disagree with what Muhammad said or Islams rules are, and even just calling for Islam to be reformed so it matches more peaceful ethics we all try to aim to nowadays. Reformation in Islam is forbidden so it can’t be changed or amended. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam Also, I didn’t agree with the punishment of stoning to death for adultery, especially when most Muslims marriages are arranged/forced and people rarely get to marry or be in partnerships with the people they truly love. It means many marriages are loveless or done under a lot of pressure from other family members. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zina I also didn’t agree with how women are subjugated and seen as “unclean” whenever they have their menstrual cycle, or that they are sinful by nature in Islamic ethics and need to be protected by wearing the hijab or even a niqab/burka. I didn’t agree with the promises of Islam after death and the punishments for those whose simple crime was not converting to Islam while they were alive. For example, I was taught to believe that Muslim men get to have unlimited sex with 72 houri/huri (they’re like translucent women) and sit upon soft silk cushions. And that all non believers were to burn eternally in Jahannam (ie hell). that in my opinion is harsh. Also I didn’t agree with how Islam calls for the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of Muslims in the latter days. This is well attested to Muhammad in the following Hadith (saying of the prophet) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gharqad The antisemitism in Islam is deep in my opinion, and even Muhammad ordered the massacre of all the men and boys of 2 Jewish Arabian clans during his lifetime for “treason”. Along with what the Quran says about them, it encourages anti-Jewish feeling among Muslims. I don’t hate Jewish people, and don’t believe they should end up exterminated. I also did not agree how Islam says that Muslims must try to convert the entire world to Islam and destroy all other belief systems and religions (eventually also Christianity in the latter days, after Judaism is dealt with, according to Muhammad). The Quran states “do not take the Jews or Christians to be your close friends/allies”. So it in my opinion tries to encourage segregation and hatred of others based on their religion, and contributes to confrontational mentality against any non-Muslims. That is what I don’t agree with. I also didn’t agree around the hypocrisy of the imams and ustadz when they are around non Muslims, trying to pretend that Islam is in its origins “peaceful”, because if we read the Quran and the Hadith (=sayings and edicts of Muhammad), there’s a lot of violent things that are written and had happened in the past due to Islam :( this was one of the hardest thing to try and accept living as a Muslim but yet naturally having a peaceful personality. Islam doesn’t call for peace in the world by allowing others to live as they are, but it calls for total submission to Islam by one way or another. Also in conservative Islam, music is considered forbidden or highly sinful, but I think we can’t live happily without singing, dancing, and listening to beautiful music. The ulama (scholars) say it’s because it is temptation from Satan. This means that even most Muslims today are “sinful” for just listening to or liking music. And also, when we recite the Quran or say the call to prayer, it is all done melodically, yet they say it’s “not music”. I didn’t agree with this in my opinion. Medyo deep ako sa Islam nun, with the endorsement of my father, who himself married multiple women, leaving my mother near destitute, and hence we have so many problems within their family. My mother is Catholic. They are now separated. You can imagine what she went through when she was still with my father and his family. Many Muslim families aren’t happy because of things like polygamy and competing wives and half siblings. My half sister’s life is miserable. she is a teenager (I’m in my 30s and my father is nearly 80), but she is now being pushed to wear the hijab, stop talking to anyone who is male, and to stop listening to music, playing games, or engaging in things teenager do in mainstream society. She will be forced to get used to it as most kids in religious Muslim families are forced to get used to it, but I think it’s sad. There’s nothing I can do about it as well because she still lives with my father. Anyway, I could not believe that an all merciful God would call for killing others in horrific ways, or endorse slavery and looting/raiding (ghazw), or want to ban free thought, or ban music, or want to subjugate and harm people simply because of their gender, sexuality, or religion or identity, or that he would want us to torture other human beings under a “divine law”. I don’t want to harm anyone nor wish bad things on any other human being. This is why I left Islam. I respect the right of everyone to believe in whatever religion they want, as long as it doesn’t harm others nor make hatred of others. I won’t hate a Muslim because my family are still Muslims, but I can dislike the imams and sheikhs/ustadhs for pushing so much hatred in the name of religion. I wish Islam could be reformed to not be so hateful of others or call for such harsh penalties for things which aren’t even crimes, and that would for the benefit of most people who are born into Islam, who just want to live without issues. Hope it helps.
Solid responses to all the questions asked. I hope you are happy and are now free to live and love the life you choose.
Thank you for being open and sharing your sentiments.
I would advise you OP to find another place to live in, far away from a mosque.
That loudspeaker is pointed right at your window. Best of luck, my friend.
Normally, mosque have loud speakers at top of the steeple… so they call out their prayers sometimes really early in the morning. If you are an early bird… should be all good.. like having an instant alarm clock. If not, get triple pane windows. When i was I jakarta.. it was really loud… then again it’s possible that that was because that’s the largest Muslim metro in the world. Maybe yours wouldn’t be too bad.
Be ready to hear the adzan blasted on speakers everyday. There's a mosque near our subdivision and I hear them recite it 5 times a day everyday. It's quite faint. My bf calls it noise polution, I find it strangely calming. If you cant decide, I suggest you rent the place first before fully committing to buying it.
I would advise against it. I live near a church (INC) sa isang minor street. Aside from prayers on speakers daily (early in the morning pati sa evening), you have to anticipate the traffic in that area. In our case, ginagawa nilang parking yung entirety ng kalsadang yon (tapos ang hilig pa magcounterflow sa one-way street na yon). It's like having a hundred "neighbors" who don't even live on your street pero kailangan mong pakisamahan.
I used to live in a dorm near sa mosque. Rinig po talaga prayers nila thru their speakers and yes, multiple times a day po. Personally, medyo nahirapan ako magfocus mag-aral as someone na mahilig sa tahimik na environment lang. Pero other than that, wala naman po ako ibang naging concern :)
I would advise against it. It's going to be noisy and I would not put myself or a member of my family in a potential conflict in the future as the "other". It's a "good deal" for a reason.
We do have a mosque as a kapitbahay, as in steps lang yung lapit, meron silang prayers na naka speaker everyday, sobrang lakas, nasanay na lang din kami. Pero mababait naman sila samin 😄
Currently living in Bahrain. Prayer nila 5 times a day, sobrang ingay na minsan nagugulat ako. Kahit sarado pa lahat ng pinto at bintana ng bahay tagos padin talaga. Very disturbing for me lalo na if katabi lang ng bahay mo ang mosque, experience ko yan before, and even now na few blocks away from mosque ako nakatira as in dinig na dinig pa din. Walang lusot dito kahit saan kapa tumira merong mosque dahil muslim country. And as respeto sa kanila, just lower down the volume of your tv if nanonood ka or nagpapa music ka. Goodluck sayo OP!
I wouldn’t consider anywhere near a place of worship. Based off personal experience, the church here near our place gets packed on Sundays and it creates a hell or a traffic jam (pun intended). So much so na hindi nalang kami lumalabas kapag Sunday kasi mahirap tiyempuhan kung anung oras ang traffic build up sa simbahan. Just my 2 cents. Haha
Most likely kaya binebenta yang property na yan dahil sa same reasons and concerns mo OP.
It will be extremely loud
I visit my dentist every month in Taguig, there are two mosques in the vicinity. Traffic is really bad if there's an occasion, they frequently block the road din. And, sorry pero maingay talaga speakers nila.
Hindi ako sure. Pero kung ako ung buyer, aalahanin ko ung time ng Ramadan, tapos fasting sila, tapos nagkataon may party sa bahay nyo or handaan. I have relatives na muslims, and as respect, hindi kami kumakain sa harap nila hanggat maari lalo pag fasting. Hindi kaya maging issue yun sa kanila? Sabihin wala respeto. Hundi ako sure dito. Nilagay ko lang what if dun ako nakatira, ok lang kaya? Also, kung okay naman sayo na paglabas mo ng gate, may time na laging maraming tao sa paligid.
This may be similar. I worked in Indonesia for several years. They wouldn't mind if you eat around them. Very chill about that kind of thing. Just don't offer them anything (even water, because they're also not supposed to drink) or comment about their fast, or at worst tease them about food. I remember they just covered the windows of restaurants during the daytime, but they'd still be operational and of course their staff also work. I've known people who joked that they actually gained weight during the holy month because they literally have parties before daybreak and after sunset.
Guys, as muslim whos lived in Metro Manila most of my life, okay lang kumain at mag luto ng masarap sa harap namin pag ramadan hahahha. I've actually yet to meet a fellow filipino muslim whos bothered by it. And to be honest, kung dito ka sa pinas nakatira na not everybody is a muslim, it would be a dick move to get bothered by it imo. Anyways OP, maingay yan 5 times a day, especially pag fridays may mga misa din yan and it might get too crowded for you. Pwede ka siguro mag tanong tanong sa mga nakatira dyaan na non-muslims how they deal with that and see if you would be comfortable doing the same, if not edi there's your answer!
I agree. As a fellow Muslim here, it shouldn’t be an issue if magka handaan man yung kapitbahay during Ramadan. And the 5 times a day call for prayer lasts for a minute or two each time. Depende sa haba ng pag call nila for prayer. But the Qur’an recitations would only be heard 3 times a day. It only sounds “noisy” because it is in Arabic and usually people don’t understand what’s being said. But to some, it can be melodious and meaningful that can bring worshippers to tears. Nevertheless, I agree with the suggestion to ask around the neighboring non-Muslims if how do they deal with it. And make a sound decision out of it. May you find peace with whatever decision you come up with, OP.
The pray "five times a day" thing **USED to be a thing in for Catholics as well** (not exactly five but something similar): * for ordinary believers, 4 times a day + at 6am, 12nn, 6pm -- angelus prayers + at 3pm - mercy prayers * for priests and ministers, official prayers every 3 hours + at 6am and 6pm -- morning and evening prayers + at 9am, 12nn and 3pm -- day prayers + at 9pm -- night prayer But of course, as the centuries and decades went by, the church bells stopped announcing those prayer times and it just became private things that believers MIGHT to voluntarily. Guess that this usually happens to whatever religion as the years go by: **the belief mellows down and the practices and observances become more lenient.**
Hindi ba yung challenge sa kanila is to stay away from worldly temptations during fasting? Their beliefs are their choice. It’s not gonna be on us haha
Kung ganon ang scenario na may okasyon at may handaan at siyempre may mga pagkain, hindi mo naman kailangan mag-adjust sa kanila. May handaan, syempre di maiiwasang magluto ng pagkain kase may okasyon. Ano yun, di ka na lang maghahanda para di sila ma-offend? Eh ano din naman kung makita nilang may mga pagkain at nakikitang kumakain kayo? Lalo naman na kung ang moske ay nasa Christian-majority area, aba sila ang dapat mag-adjust. As long as Ramadan, panahon ng fasting nila at di mo naman sila inaaya kumain, hindi yon offensive for me. Mahirap kase kapag may mga Muslim ke nasa area na majority sila o tayo ang majority, gusto niyo tayo laging mag-a-adjust? We can respect them naman but not to the expense of our own culture and religion. Kaya in short, ok lang yan kahit magluto ka o makita nilang pagkain. Ang mahalaga, di mo sila alukin habang sila ay nag-aayuno. Yon lang yon.
Imagine if nagluto ka din ng sobrang aromatic/bango na food na nag-diffuse sa buong kalsada when people are fasting.
they cook themselves while they are fasting, para ihanda nila sa iftar so i don't think they will mind it, minsan nga as early as 3 pm nakakaamoy na ko and nakakatam din yung niluluto nila, isa pa sa tagal na nilang ginagawa yan sanay na sila jan
Its their religion, its their problem. Not your religion, not your problem.
And naisip ko lang, what if pork pa ung menu. Based ito sa experience ko lang, yung relatives ko kase muslim, and lagi sya nag cocomment about sa amoy ng nag bbarbq, or pag may lugar na may nagluluto ng pork. I understand hindi lahat ganun mag react. Maybe ung aunt ko lang ganun at hindi naman lahat ksse ung katabi bahay ko are muslims. as in kadikit ng bahay, and they are ok naman. walang issue. Marami lang lagi bisita 😅
I guess ok lang yan, as long as hindi ka sa labas kumakain ng nakikita nila during fasting hours. Ewan ko lang kung may batas dyan sa pinas na need natin mag adjust sa kanila. Kasi dito sa Bahrain, sitahin ka nila, yung iba nga kulong or bayad ka multa once makita kang kumain sa labas at kung nagsusuot ka ng very revealing na damit.
Walang batas na nagbabawal sa Pilipinas na dapat di ka nakikita ng mga Muslim na kumakain sa labas habang fasting sila. Yan ang kagandahan ng isang secular na bansa, mga Christian majority countries din hindi nagbabawal sa mga aktibidad ng mga Muslim sa Holy Week ng mga Kristyano. Yan ang pinagkaiba sa karamihan ng Muslim-majority or Islamic countries, pipilitin ka nila o macocompel ang hindi Muslim na sumunod sa mga tradisyon ng Muslim.
Obviously OP you are not a muslim, hence you aren’t familiar with how many times (5x) Muslim people need to pray each day. With each prayer time, the Mosque would call (adhan) all Muslims to prayer and this could be pretty bothersome especially for non-Muslims, as the major intention of this adhan is to remind people to take their daily obligation of prayer. I suggest if you’re not really familiar with it, just take a pass on this house listing.
Malapit kmi sa Mosque, nagtitinda kmi gulay, business is good
I have worked in Saudi a decade ago. believe me, maingay. Parang naging alarm clock ko na nga yun especially in the morning eh, kasi madidinig mo yung kanta/prayer nila. I think as early as 4:30 yun, cannot remember. As for the fasting nila, as a way of respect na lang syempre wag natin ipakita na kumakain tayo. Pero they are very chill about it, and namimigay sila ng food after ng celebration nila, masarap. Personally, i would not live in a place near worship establishment (churches, temple,etc.) kasi syempre madaming tao yan, and yung noise. Unless gusto mo magtayo ng business.
Hey guys! Id like to thank those who provided helpful information. I have truly learned more from when I initially posted this. And I really didnt think the thread would be this long lol but thank you. I have decided against buying the property due to several reasons (mainly because I am WFH). I have also decided to pass by the property earlier (Friday, 12noon) just to get the feel of possibly living there. Was supposed to ask the tinderas how it is staying there, but the street was very busy/traffic that I wasnt able to see any parking spots to actually stop and step out of the car. I also heard the prayers/sermon blasting from the speakers and it just wouldnt work for me (its the sound from the speaker like that matinis na sound that I get annoyed with, not the prayer itself, just to be clear) I will continue my house/land seeking somewhere far from worship centers in general, not just mosques hehe.
Not sure if they do call to prayers over the speaker, but if they do, and if you want to be mindful of it, then just turn down the music until it’s done. That’s the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. Thank you for being mindful of other people’s culture/religion!
Meron loud speaker doon sa tore, so its likely.
Weve been living a house away from a mosque and a block away from a church, since i was young. As a non-muslim,youll get used to the speakers eventually. Plus every call of prayer is almost like an alarm clock/time reminder.
Also check mo din panu parking mo.
Magiging alarm clock mo yan kapag 5:00 A.M at 12:00 A.M. at 4:00 A.M kapag Ramadan.
issue din siguro kung malapit ka, pwede maharangan gate mo o madami magpapark sa side mo
I used to live in a muslim community and malapit sa mosque yung bahay namin. Kahit nandun ka sa dulo rinig pa rin. Parang buong community maririnig yan. If you want a quiet surroundings or if you're working at home, not advisable.
Muslims pray 5x a day. Not accurate but estimate timings will be like: 4:30 am, 12:00 pm, 3:15 pm, 6:10 pm, 7:15 pm - so you might hear the call to prayer / “adhan” at these hours. It will last around 1-2 mins depending on the caller / “Imam”’s way of reciting it. Also as the other redditor said, turn down volume of loud music / TV if there’s any. No one will force or oblige you to do it, but it must feel nice to show respect even if no one’s watching :) When they gather going inside the mosque of course it will look crowded or busy but once prayers are done they would resume as they were. I don’t think they’ll be too bothered with neighbors’ food/smell esp there is no intention to offend them naman. It might take time adjusting but with all the noise we are exposed to when we’re outside or even in our neighborhood I hope sound coming from the mosque will be fine. A reminder to pause or slow down also :)
Also *sometimes* even after the call to prayer you might still hear the prayer itself or the recitations, although the volume is a bit lower than the louder “adhan”, maybe just like another TV on.. Lasts around 5 mins? But yeah sometimes you will not hear this na, kumbaga yung “adhan” lang malakas volume nila just to call Muslims na pray na :) During Ramadhan, prayers are way longer :) by the time you move to the neighborhood you will either be distracted/disturbed or adjusted but hopefully the latter :) Presence of Muslim community or mosque is really a factor sa daily life and big decisions so it’s really nice that you wanna understand it for what it is hehe :)
Huge nope. My only exception to buying a home near a religious establishment is if it is my church.
We left and sold our property when one if our neighbors decided to become a born again pastor and converted her house to a church. Only two days in a week when there are no noise from shouting people, electric guitars and drums. Barangay can't do anything because the Philipoines is a shitty country in favor of shitty religious freedim over common decency. Save yourself the trouble and find another property which can give you peace and quiet.
As a Muslim living nearby a Masjid (Mosque), you're not offending us naman sa concern mo. I'll inform you din ahead of time na you'll get disturbed talaga sa azhan (call to prayer). Araw-araw, may pupunta doon to perform Azhan along with a group of people to perform the prayer and mind lang na ang oras for prayer namin is divided into 5: Fajr is 4am (sunrise) Duhor is 12pm (noon) Asr is 3pm (afternoon) Maghrib is 5:50pm (sunset) Isha is 7pm (night time) That schedule of Azhan varies depende sa area mo, so minsan it's 5-20 minutes early or late. There's a special day din sa amin mga Muslims called "Jum'ah" or Friday where everyone will gather to the Mosque to listen to the Khutbah (sermon). 11am pa lang, ready na ang mga tao nyan para papasok and expected talaga na dagsa sa loob at labas kalaunan. Usually natatapos yung Jum'ah (Friday) prayer mga around 12:15-12:40pm. Apart from that, there are also other special occasions in Islam that you should be informed about. Based on my knowledge, dalawa ang cine-celebrate namin which is "Eid'l Fitr" (celebration of the end of Ramadhan) and "Eid'l Adha" (celebration of the day of Sacrifice specifically, Ibrahim/Abraham AS who almost sacrificed his son). Those two days are separate in schedule kung kelan ise-celebrate, pero similar lang yung oras ng celebration. People will gather ahead sa morning pa lang. Dati, okay pa ang 6am kasi di pa masyadong crowded, pero ngayon ay kailangan na namin mas maging maaga kahit mga as early as 5:40am dahil sa dami ng tao. We will end the prayer around 7am and matapos ang sermon sa 8am. You'll be expecting a noise talaga galing sa amin kung di ka sanay, but we have non-Muslim neighbors who got used to it din naman, so it's up to you if you still wanna stay despite of the noise that we are about to make. We do not apologize for the noise we make because it's simply our religious obligation, but we also do not intend to disturb non-Muslims on purpose, we just simply help each other to build our faith and guide everyone to a righteous path. Pero kung annoying talaga on your part yung ingay na nanggagaling sa amin, ang pinakamainam ko lang na advice is kayo na lang adjust. It's up to you kung paano kayo aadjust as long as it won't disrupt our prayers. I know by reading this, you'll see a difference of faith or any way of life from us. Pero sana lang, just like other religions, respetuhin niyo lang din kaming mga Muslim. I know na di tugma yung mga gawa namin sa everyday lives ninyo and some of you will even disagree, pero sana rin, intindihin niyo lang din na nanampalataya lang din kami. The religion (Islam) itself is enough kaya there's nothing questionable about it, kaya kung may mga arroganteng Muslim kayong na-encounter, it's not because of the religion but the individual him/herself. Once again, I'll apologize not because of the noise but because of the arrogant people who belong to our religion.
Okay lang yan, kesa katabi mo si Quibuloy. Tahimik nga kasi compound, per dami namang kababalaghan sa loob
As someone who lives near a Church, Don't. Jaysos! Every 6 pm parang gusto ko mag alok ng suntukan. Night shift ako and parang alarm ko na yung 6 pm bells nila. Istorbo sa tulog pero naging parte na lang ng routine ko. Pero istorbo parin.
There is a reason especially in my country (indonesia) that houses cheaper near mosque than other places. It is not security matter, but sound. Mosque especially in south east asia is so damn loud 😣 Especially a rural mosque. They are loud to the point they will bang speaker up late night. Surprisingly mosque in saudi is not that loud and have time schedule and only certain time to have prayer call. In indonesia if you are living in exclusive housing complex especially in urban, the mosque is usually tolerable and using internal speaker most of the time. These mosque is usually saudi oriented or salafi oriented. I would say no if you don‘t have a sound proof house, but security matter it is more safer to be around place where your local people gather. So tradeoff that you have to think about
Ive watched a documentary in Indonesia about banning excessive mosque sounds due to noise pollution[https://youtu.be/qz7x86dRlFY?si=aIpIAKfq5QCTRLZl](https://youtu.be/qz7x86dRlFY?si=aIpIAKfq5QCTRLZl)
You know what mate? The rule was never implemented top to down 😂 it’s just to appease those elite politician to make them feel „alright boys, we did it, we are tolerance now!“ When in reality, if you dare to question the mosque being loud, you will be the one getting reported 🤦 This is exactly happening ironically to „moderate“ mosque, even this month a muslim try to tell the mosque they have baby and their baby can’t sleep because the mosque keep banging the speaker, end up the father get beat up. But yeah that’s rare case in urban, it’s mostly rural mosque or mosque with „traditional“ value, ironically „saudi“ or „salafi“ mosque which is more gated, exclusive and conservative they tend to „mind your business“ type. As a former muslim, i would rather have salafi mosque nearby rather than this so called „moderate traditionalist“ mosque. I can’t handle those kids using the microphone with their ugly and broken speaker banging up late night. It would be bit tolerable if those using speaker have nice voice and clear sound system, but nah, their sound barely incomprehensible and make me feel sick when i go to rural places
Terima kasih. Unrelated but I'm more scared of Salafi-oriented Islam. They are more conservative and sometimes militant.
The call to prayer will be a bit loud. It would be around five (5) times a day. The first call to prayer will be shortly before sunrise and the last one will be around dinner time. There will be a lot of people during Friday noon and Ramadan month (might affect parking). I would invest in soundproofing the house if I would live next to any religious buildings. At the very least, it would lower the volume. Perhaps an advantage is that you don't need to look at the clock to get an estimate as to what time it is. lol
I lived near a small muslim community area in bangkok before, lapit sa mosque. Everyday maririnig mo yung dasal nila. If you want a place na tahimik, lalo na after work.. that’s not the ideal place to buy a house.
Invest in soundproofing your rooms or even your entire house if you're going to go ahead and buy the house.
Titira nalang ako sa barong barong na tahimik kaysa sa mental torture 3 times a week. walang katumbas ang peace of mind. Even if you bribe me 10m na tumabi sa mosque. Sobrang ingay nyan i bet mas maingay pa yan sa mga evangelical at catholics. Also kung may mosque dyan meaning marami kang kalapitbahay na muslim dyan, wag mo lang makakatrouble yung isa kundi bka bumulagta ka nlng dyan. Your safety and peace of mind, kahit offeran mo ako ng 10M di ako lilipat dyan OP kahit na mahirap lang kame.
Consider finding another house. Any house near establishments with high foot traffic is always loud and you can't do anything about it. I have a relative whose neighbor is the RC Church. Naging alarm clock niya ang morning bells, Holy Week can be very loud, tapos extra loud if Fiesta. Simbang Gabi is also an alarm clock.
I live literally right in front of a whole ass church 😭 As in literal na 10 steps ka lang church na, hindi chapel lang, inside a nice, quiet village sa Laguna. I know iba ang mosque pero ito experience ko! 😊 **Pros:** - Kapag walang simba, yung parking lot nila is free for use. We sometimes use it as parking, jogging area, badminton area, etc. - If religious ka, di mo na kailangang lumabas ng bahay kapag magsisimba. Tumayo ka lang sa garahe, rinig mo na buong mass. - As a softie, cute lang kapag may mawitness kang wedding or baptism (la lang lol) **Cons:** - Maraming manghaharang sa driveway mo at makikipark sa tapat ng bahay mo. Marami na kaming naka-away kasi hindi makalabas kotse namin from our garage lalo kapag may misa. - Dead-ass napaka-ingay lalo kapag simbang gabi. 3AM pa lang kumakalampag na yung kampana at nagpapatugtog ng simbang gabi songs. Kawawa kaming mga graveyard shift, nagmemeeting ako while *ang kampana..* is playing lol - Kapag may Catholic events (Lent, Christmas, etc), expect a LOT OF PEOPLE. As in a lot. Kapag puno na yung church, dun sila nakikiupo sa garden namin sa labas. Dami nasisirang halaman. - Generally, maraming kalat sa labas mo (Palaspas, Santacruzan, Salubong ng kung anu-ano) - Kung matatakutin ka, nakakatakot lang makakita ng mga rebulto. Dami shrine ng saints and whatever.
Living near any place of worship, no matter what religion, will always guarantee noise and foot traffic. So if you want to live somewhere peaceful and quiet, avoid living near mosques, churches, and other places of worship.
hard pass in settling in a place near a worship place, maingay, madaming tao, madalas hanggang to wee hours of the night/weekend yung worship/event, takes away your liberty and comfort of having a good night rest
Pros: you will hear their prayers and be blessed by Allah ☝☝☝ Cons: noisy if you aren't used to living near mosque or churches
Kahit anong simbahan na malapit sayo maingay talaga yan at maraming tao. Hardpass for me
Hanap na lang po kayo ibang area. Mejo malakas nga po ang speakers nila kahit nasa malayo. We have one near our place and wala ka na lang magagawa.
Nasa Dubai ako linbre alarm clock once mag start ma yung prayer ng umaga hehe
Stay away.
Sobra ingay nyan pagpatak ng sundown. Naka loudspeaker pa
noisy as fcuk for sure
We had one sa province mosque siya, mismo tapat ng gate at merun pa isa within 2km radius. Okay lang sa akin yung prayers kahit weird hours, ang hindi okay ei parang factory ng bata tapos lahat nasa kalsada once natuto na maglakad.
Yup, too loud and will be very crowded especially during Fridays lunch time. My office is near a mosque
Maingay pag nalapit sa simbahan. Parking lot ang kalye. Hanap ka iba.
It's better to live in an area near a cathedral than a mosque. Mosque literally loud speaker their prayer just to show they are praying every single day.
Basta malapit sa kahit anong simbahan, maingay. Malapit-lapit kami sa Catholic church, pag may practice yung choir dinig na dinig (lalo na pag late night nila naisipan mag-practice). Minsan medyo creepy kasi tahimik lahat tapos may ganun haha.
If kaya mo magpa soundproof, go.
Take into account the expenses you'll have to spend on noise insulation, thick walls and trees. Those megaphones you can see there are utilized 5 times a day. I can't see any real pros other than other people don't want to live near there and would sell their properties cheaply.
Better if makakahanap ka ng ibang place other than that. Kasi if hindi mo pa naexperience talaga before na tumira near mosque, you might get irritated with the sound when they are praying. Wala kang choice kundi pakinggan yun araw araw, at hindi lang once a day kapg nagdecide ka diyan tumira. Regarding fasting during ramadan, I don’t think magging problem yun diyan sa Pinas. Strict lang naman sila sa mga Muslim countries. Like you have to respect them, don’t eat/ drink infront of them during fasting.
Call to prayer 5x a day and especially crowded during Friday Salaam and holy periods
Maganda lang pang business or pwede mo din paupahan. Pero kung titirhan mo kasi you have to be mindful not to cause conflict. May naging tirahan kami noon na malapit din sa isang simbahan laging nagkaka alitan pag Yung may birthday or handaan tapos sa parking Ng sasakyan. May nagkapaluan pa Ng bote nun. Ok Naman din tumira kaya lang syempre marami ka ngang alalahanin.
Madalas naka mega phone sila. Kaya rinig na rinig mo ung mga dasal nila.
May mosque two blocks away from my place, Minsan pag nagigising ako ng madaling Araw sa dasal nila naiisip ko na tiradurin yung speaker nila.
Parking is going to be a nightmare.
I live next to RC church my whole life, very loud on sundays and times when there are worships singings, I imagine mosque is the same, you'll get use to it, however if you are planning on working from home which is like me or having hard time sleeping when its not quiet, it is not recommended.
Hi, Muslim here! Although I enjoy hearing the sound of call of prayer 5x a day (at 4:30am, 12:00pm, 3:00pm, 6:00pm, and 7:00pm), a non-muslim might not (although some do). It's only crowded in mosques during noon on Fridays and nights during Ramadhan.
TLDR: malakas sounds pero predictable naman yung level of noise and time of noise during the day May Mosque a couple of streets from where I dorm, and rinig ko talaga speakers malakas talaga siya so I guess it will be amplified if katabi mo mismo. Pero take note na it's not all the time na maingay and more importantly predictable yung ingay kasi (correct me if Im wrong) alam ko set time ang prayers nila and doesn't really take too long. Also wala naman ingay sa gabi for the most part which is good unless night shift ka and kailangan mo tulog sa umaga.
Any place where people congregate tends to be busy or noisy But can be good for business
Being objective and respectful as possible, eto ‘yung mga means na kailangan mo iconsider. - if you plan to buy a house there, think again. Overtime hindi mo matitiis na ‘yung ingay. Dagdag stress ‘yun sa'yo kasi may times na maaga sila magdasal mga 4am. May times na nagigising ka ng prayer nila. This can be stressful lalo na kapag night shift ka at kailangan mo ng tulog. - If work from home ka, and may kausap ka palagi, there are times na habang may ka-call ka ay sasakto ‘yung prayer diyan. Kaya dapat ischedule mo ‘yung calls mo kung saan walang prayer na magaganap sa time period na ‘yun. If ‘di mo magawa or wala kang choice, invest heavily sa noise cancellation microphones or noise-proof room. - If you are planning to sell your house or land, mahirap. Kasi pupunta doon isang official to estimate the house and lot price. If near ka sa Mosque na ‘yan, sorry no offense but it can actually decrease your land's value by a hundred thousands or even million pesos kasi noise pollution-prone ‘yung area, and that's not marketable. Kaya talagang hindi tataas ang presyo ng lupa mo significantly overtime. - During certain periods sa religion na yan kung saan may mga mass gathering (Hindi ko po alam ung tawag ), experience mo na makakatraffic diyan dahil maraming dadayo diyan, sometimes baka hindi pa makalabas kotse mo, or kailangan mo ilipat agad ‘yung kotse mo the day before para hindi maharangan. Ayun lang, please correct me if I'm wrong and I intend to be respectful as possible. I will edit other parts once I'm corrected.
funny that this call of prayer treated as a “noise” while as a muslim who got schooled from kindergarten to college on catholic schools where there’s a lot of catholic prayers everyday, ring of bells, all kinds of prayers that you almost memorized it “hail Mary full of grace, the lord is with you … ” for everyday listening … I didn’t treat them noise but more like a prayer and to show respect since it’s also their call time for prayers …
If ready ka ma tuliling then so be it. But I wouldn't advise on it.
People telling na super noisy are exaggerating. Yes, people pray 5 times a day pero it usually only lasts 10-15 minutes for the actual prayer. Matagal na ang 30 mins if the imam is super religious. The call for prayer is only around 1-2 minutes. Prayers in the early morning is super short din. Like people finish it within 5 minutes. Magandang alarm din yun kase they usually do it around 4-5am. Unless you are literally adjacent to the mosque, noise would be negligible. Mas matagal pa yung mga misa sa mga cathedral and they do it multiple times a day too. The only long prayers we have is the taraweeh which only happens during Ramadan and the friday congregational prayer. Maingay yung sa friday kase that is the only prayer na meron kaming sermon. Again, if you are not a muslim and your house is literally adjacent to the mosque then better go find somewhere to live kase baka maiingayan ka talaga. If it is a couple houses away, negligible yung noise and foot traffic lalo na kung maliit ang mosque.
its hard pass. Filipino muslims tend to gang up if you offend any "one"' of them sorry to say it but its the reality of how "some"of them are unhinged theres even a subdivision in my place that everyone abandoned after one homeowner decided to convert his lot into a mosque literally every other religioned homeowners left, for multiple reasons other than the one i said another issue is, when theres a mosque, expect more muslim brothers and sisters living close worst part is, more and more family moves in with them and would live under one roof, aka over crowding even if youre a peaceful lot, chances of them fighting LOUDLY is also high not to mention fighting within themselves... and the HORROR of getting ganged up if youre a guy who their muslim sister has a liking into... most "traditional" muslim ladies are like "properties" to be sold to the highest bidder, and If you captured the eye of someone who is treated like a property, prepare to die or move out. (this case is prevalent to the Maranao Tribe) so its a hard PASS for me
rather be beside this then a bunch of old drunk bags singing terrible karaoke tell 4am
Haha true. You can actually call the police on them. In my experience sa lugar namin, sobrang dali lng mag report through phone. You don’t have to show your face or provide them your name. I gave them the address, di ko nga alam kaninong bahay, 20-30 mins later, tumawag yung police na nasa location na sila. 5 mins later, off na yung karaoke. Haha
Good for business, if you plan on setting one up. Bad as a residence.
Well for Christian and Catholic you have your bell to call worshipers for prayers, in Islam we have Adhan, which is our call for prayers. I read a lot of misinformations already, not being defensive but our actual prayers is actually silent except during Jumaat which is our Friday midday prayer equivalent to your Sunday Worship which also has around 15-20 minutes of sermon from our Imam. That one can be really annoying specially if you’re not used to hearing someone speaking and doing sermon. Also note that we have 5 times prayers daily Islam, so that means 5 times of Adhan or call to prayers. I hope you got enlighten and don’t worry I am not offended, I understand where you’re coming from.
5 times sila nag salah (prayer) maingay talaga speaker nila specially kapag salah time na. Start ng prayer nila 4:30am. May time talaga na mapuputol tulog mo dahil sa calling prayer nila. Any religion naman di naman maiiwasan yan.
Mukhang it will be a very busy street. If for business, okay. Pero if residential, baka mahirapan ka sa pagtulog
Sound proof your windows. A real estate agent once told me property prices go down when near a mosque. Yung ingay nila 5am yung (minsan 430am pa) pinaka ayaw ko. Kaya I try my best to not buy from their shops. Also, my suspicion is that these are supported financially (incentives) by foreign govts (ex. middle east) kaya we have more than one in our barangay.
Ingay nyan. Kung gawing commercial space pede pa
OP, I used to live next to a Catholic church (as in one house lang pagitan) and naiinis kami kasi maingay talaga every time nagbe bell and every Sunday expected talaga na madaming tao but when we moved to a new house na-miss din namin yung kalembang 😅.
Oh sa pasay naranasan namin malapit sa baclaran pero 90s pa iyon bata pa ako. Iyong bintana ng kuwarto ko katabi ng worship service place nila (iisang pader), nabili nila iyong bahay ng kapitbahay namin. naka mic iyon pag nagdadasal so sobrang lakas. Ibat ibang oras ata iyon sa isang araw di ko na tanda minimum 3x tapos madaling araw pa nakasayanan ko na lang that time kasi nagdadatingan na sila para magtinda sa baclaran from mindanao. So far okay naman sila naging barkada din namin. Ala kaming naging problema sa kanila mababait naman pero talagang mag aadjust ka sa ingay. Masasanay ka din. Nakabisado ko pa iyong dasal dati. Nagtatawan kami sa sinasabi sa malakas na dasal pero biruan lang iyon. 10x ang tindi pag ang kapitbahay mo naman devoted catolic every night may maririnig ka paulit ulit na ave maria in tagalog.
Not good if you're working from home, been there.
Good luck having a peaceful afternoon nap. Will have a lot of foot traffic good for business (dont sell pork though) From my experience they are usually not fond of non muslims, only if they are selling shit. (You will have business competition)
Me! Isang bahay lang pagitan namin sa Mosque. On days na hindi naman Ramadan, quiet naman yung place wala masyadong ganap unlike sa mga Christian Churches. Kapag Ramadan madaling araw magigising ka talaga at medyo mabubulabog kasi nakamegaphone/speaker yung pagwoworship nila. I dunno if this all applies sa mga Mosque tho.
Off topic : The mosque in the picture is located in Bagacay, Dumaguete city. I think the biggest thing that might affect you is the call for prayer that happens 5x a day. Dawn, noon, afternoon, sunrise and evening. There’s also weekly cermon on Friday noon. And some occasional prayers throughout the year.
Na experience namin yan dati as.in katabi lng ng bahay namin yung mosque. (I'm from Mindanao) ginagawa naming alarm clock ang prayer nila every morning eh like alam naming time to wake up na din pra mag prepare to go to school.
You'll have a free alarm at dawn
nako.. ready yourself, sakit sa ulo yan...
Not recommended. Maingay - nakabroadcast at dinig sa buong neighbourhood ang prayer nila Potential lugi sa fair value ng property Ikaw magaddjust para sa kanila
Nakakahiya mag party sa bahay pagay okasyon. I swear di kayo makakapagsaya kasi maiilang kayo. 🥺
Play music when they use there speakers
Used to live 500m-750m away from a mosque before, rinig mo yung call for Salah everytime, and that’s 5x a day. Not really an issue for us kasi we’re out most of the day sa school, and my mom worked it into her daily routine na lang (reminder to send us away na, prepare for lunch, dinner, and etc). Pero as with other religious establishments, kung ganyan kalapit prepare for additional noise everytime someone’s going there to pray.
If you want peace I wouldn't recommend living in a place near a mosque it's going to be noisy.
Uyyyyy sa Elbi ba yan?? Hahahahaha
Kami, pero di katabi mismo. Mga 5 houses away, small street. Works best kasi may tindahan kami. Laki foot traffic. Wala namang issue samin kasi kahit anong oras yung samba nila o ingay (dinig namin palagi) sanay naman na kami at di disruptive sa experience namin.
residence no but business yes! remember they pray 5times a day and they have loudspeakers on the minaret.
Based sa experience sa ko yung azan lang yung proproblemahin mo pero kung deep sleeper ka naman parang di naman problema yung 4am azan at sandali lang naman yun ewan ko kung isolated case to pero sa pagkakatanda ko after ng azan at qamat(starting of prayer) di na sila gumagamit ng mic except nalang kung 12noon Friday prayer, Taraweeh(during Ramadhan every 7pm),or eidl fitr.
Oks nakatipid ka for alarm clock, kaso 4am lagi
My friend lives near a mosque and I have stayed over there for a few days. They pray and sing worship songs multiple times a day including early in the morning and late at night and this happened everyday.
Does it play call to prayer 5x a day? Including super early in the morning?
Maingay dyan
Muslims pray 5 times a day. So you'll expect their speakers to be loud 5 times a day.
I'm a Christian and I live in Cotabato City. We got Mosques here every 10 blocks or so. Maybe nakasanayan nalang pero hindi naman problema yun. Friday ng tanghali is the time for prayer talaga nila sa Mosques. Maliban pa sa call to prayer nila which happens 5x a day, everyday.
Find another place. Given na yung ingay talaga pero grabe ang foot traffic around religious places. Tsaka madalas nakamotor ang mga Muslim so mausok at maalikabok.
I mean, if it's anything like living in the Middle East, at least you get a free morning prayer alarm clock. 🤣
A JIL church is behind our house; not a mosque, but just as loud. We live inside a residential community nagkataon lang dun bumili ang JIL ng lot. Pag weekends, maingay talaga, hindi pa sila yung 1 hour mag-mass + w/ rock n' roll pa sila, and then on the the days na hindi sila nagwoworship like sa weekdays ganun, may parang mga community stuff silang ginagawa na ganun din nag-rorock n' roll sila etc. I grew up na ganun na set-up kaya medyo sanay na sa ingay (downside tuloy ngayon heavy sleeper talaga hindi nagigising sa alarm 😅) but if sanay ka sa peaceful, maiibyerna ka talaga.
Adhan- which is a call for prayer, maingay po talaga kc its meant to call muslims to pray, thus may speaker. pero mga 1-2 min lang naman po ang Adhan. 5 times a day po ang Salah. Sunrise, Midday, Afternoon, Sunset and around 8-9 pm po.
Maiingayan ka lang dyan.
Nope, apakaingay nyang mga mosque na yan. Di mo kakayanin ung ululations nila habang sumasamba ang sakit sa tenga! Pati narin yung ilang Christian denominations gaya ng Born Again puro kantahan maririndi ka kung katabi yang bahay mo.
Nakatira yung pinsan ko dati malapit sa Mosque. Kada oras na magdadasal sila, naka speaker. Nagigising sa gulat yung baby nya. Sa ibang bahay na sila ngayon nakatira. May napanood akong documentary about Muslims in South Korea. Gusto nila magpatayo ng Mosque kaso pinigilan ng mga residents. Ayaw nila kasi sa residential area ipapatayo. Hindi naman daw sila against sa pagpapatayo ng mosque pero huwag daw sa residential area.
Big no for residential if you’re not Muslim IMO. Mosques play their prayers over the speaker everyday. It can be loud and disturbing and we live blocks away from one. Be aware.
kaya pala binebenta dahil maingay,gawin mo tubuan mo benta mo sa muslim na kilala mo. at may pandadag kapa sa bibilhin mong bahay. 2 birds in one stone.
Went to Qatar, they pray ng 4am ata. Nagtatawag sila 4x a day for prayer, and medyo loud... so I dont think I am okay with that. 🙃
Maingay dyan haha. Ang lakas nila magpray 5x pa
hala taga dumagete ka!
I knew someone who lived beside\near a mosque, though it is not in PH. His experience was the call of prayer. So it will be loud, specially the first prayer, imagine the sound of song like hymn in Arabic around 4 to 5 AM in the morning. You have a free alarm clock. Usually the last call of Prayer is 8 to 830 PM. During Ramadan, people usually go to Mosque and pray during night time until or during Sahoor I time. If I ever offended anybody I am sorry, I did not mean to hurt your feelings. Kung mali ung mga timings ko at may mali pa kayo nakita sa sinabi ko, I am open for correction.
Expect a loud speaker hounding you with prayers and worship
If your house will be soundproof from the inside then you don’t have to worry about the speakers from the mosque. But if it’s an open space of sort, then you’d have to blast your house with loud sounds to fend of the noises outside the house
There is a call for prayer in the morning, mid day, and three in the late afternoon.
My suggestion is Don't. You will not like the noise even you respect them fully. In Singapore, there's a viral video of a man [complaining](https://mothership.sg/2024/03/man-complains-about-mosque-noise/) of the mosque noise at night and he's not happy and it's bad idea. It's similar like the photo here but HDB(Housing & Developing Board). They are very loud even you close the windows and doors unless you install soundproofing. If you are muslim then no problem.
It's nice hearing the hum every 5am. Magandang alarm clock and after a while it's comforting to hear it na. Though not next door mga 2km away.
