the HUTTEMANS learning the Indonesian LANGUAGE and CULTURE 
the musholla just up the hill from us
Every day we hear 5 calls to prayer from the local mosques surrounding us:
- at dawn (around 4 am)
- at noon (12:00 pm)
- afternoon (around 3:00 pm)
- sunset (around 6 pm)
- nightfall (around 7 pm)
Usually G is getting settled into bed during the nightfall prayer, and so we often notice this one. For the most part the rest of them have become so common, that we don’t often notice. The other night G was just laying down when the call started and he began to mimic it. I asked him what he thought the guy was saying, and G said something like “it’s time to go to bed.”
I think it can be a beautiful sound and often use it as my own call to prayer, if I notice it.
