Muslims in a Saudi neighbourhood flocked in large numbers to the local mosque after hearing what a newspaper described a stunning voice by a Muazzen (prayers caller) for the first time. They were even more stunned when they found the Muazzen is a Filipino.

The imam (preacher) of the Hamza bin Abdul Muttaleb Mosque in Riyadh, who allowed the Filipino to call for prayers, invited journalists and asked them to film him as he started to call for prayers through the mosque’s massive loudspeakers.

It said those who heard the man said his voice is similar to the voice of the famous Muazzen of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, Sheikh Mohammed Mulla.

“Those who came to the mosque and heard him were stunned by his voice and were even more surprised to find that he is a Filipino” the preacher told Sabq newspaper, which carried a YouTube film showing the Filipino calling for prayers .
