For example, at Kalinjar in 1202, "The temples were converted into mosques," writes Hasan Nizami, "and the voices of the summoners to prayer ascended to the highest heavens, and the very name of idolatry was annihilated."¹³⁴ Call to prayer five times a day with a loud voice carried an invitation and a message - join us, or else.
