Channel 4 moves to Birmingham for call to prayer film

Each morning since the start of Ramadan Channel 4 has been broadcasting the morning call to prayer (Adhan) at around 3am.  The evocative film features muezzin Hassan Rasool walking through the streets of London and singing the Adhan in front of various famous landmarks including Big Ben, The London Eye and Tower Bridge.

Now Channel 4 is launching a new Adhan, featuring landmarks in Birmingham accompanied by the voice of Hassen Rasool.
