NEW JERSEY, USA - MARCH 10: The third-largest city in the U.S. state of New Jersey has greenlighted mosques making the call to prayer over loudspeakers.

The measure allows the adhan, or call to prayer, to go out over speakers from mosques between 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. with a maximum decibel level and the time allotted to not exceed five minutes.
