Whenever I see these loudspeakers I remember Dhafer Youssef, an oud player and singer from Morocco. He was once asked in an interview if his experiements in electronic music didn't go against his mosque calling inspired singing and he answered that since he was small he listened to the call for prayer from these loudspeakers, which was hsi first introduction to electronic music...
As I heard, listening to music, singing and using musical instruments in Islam is considered a greater sin. But this is something very controversial, and interpreted differently throughout the world. Something to think about!
"The Prophet said (which means), "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allaah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection." [Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 69, Number 494v]."
