(由 Google 翻译)无论走到哪里,我都喜欢参观美丽的清真寺。身在约旦安曼,我怎能错过市中心著名的侯赛尼清真寺呢?
令人驻足的召唤
我们把车停在了一段合适的距离——毕竟,在中东,能把车停在市中心清真寺附近,简直是痴人说梦。我们漫步在狭窄而熙攘的街道上,突然间,空气中弥漫着一种久违的声音——宵礼的唤礼声。
如果你生活在西方,你就会明白这种声音是多么珍贵——直到再次听到它在古老的墙壁间回荡,你才会意识到自己有多么想念它。这不仅仅是祈祷的召唤,它仿佛是在呼唤我的灵魂。
然而,讽刺的是,
当我肃然起敬,鸡皮疙瘩涌上心头,内心柔软无比的时候……周围的一切却依然如常。商店照常营业。街头小贩吆喝着价格。人们走过,仿佛天使没有在召唤他们走向成功(ḥayya ʿalal-falāḥ)。
我内心暗自嘲讽了一会儿——“这就是神圣沦为日常背景噪音的后果吗?”我并非评判,只是忍不住想:如果我住在这里,我会不会也像个缺乏咖啡因的僵尸一样,对着宣礼声走来走去?
走进市中心的信仰中心
我们来到了清真寺——一座建筑瑰宝,它仿佛是用虔诚而非设计建造而成。柔和的灯光下,大理石地板闪闪发光;墙壁上镌刻着几个世纪的祈祷;每个角落都在低语:“你身处神圣的氛围之中。”
宣礼声响起时,我加入了会众的队伍。然后,伊玛目开始诵读经文——赞美真主,我完全没有做好准备。他诵读《古兰经》时,语气深沉而真挚,仿佛经文直接与在场每个人的心灵对话。我的眼睛感到刺痛,那一刻,我多么希望外面的世界能够停下脚步,静静聆听。
祈祷结束后,我走上前去,与伊玛目握手,感谢他诵读的经文,让我再次感受到伊斯兰教的美好与力量。他微笑着——平静、谦逊、光芒四射——只是简单地说:“愿真主保佑您的来访。”
感悟
那天晚上,在安曼市中心一轮满月的映照下漫步时,我领悟到了一个简单却深刻的道理:
有些人追逐着奇迹,而真正的奇迹却每天五次在他们自己的天空中回响——他们却忙着刷手机、购物或品茶,无暇聆听。
如果你有机会去安曼,千万不要错过侯赛尼清真寺。去祈祷吧,去感受那份宁静吧,去聆听那份提醒:信仰并非存在于寂静之中,而是存在于那召唤你走向它的声音之中。
五星推荐——因为当宣礼声响彻安曼的夜空时,仿佛连群星都排列成行。🌙

I love visiting beautiful masājid wherever I go, and being in Amman, Jordan, how could I possibly skip the famous Masjid Al-Hussaini in downtown?
The Call That Stops You in Your Tracks
We parked at a respectful distance—because, let’s face it, parking near a downtown masjid in the Middle East is a fantasy best left to dreamers. As we walked through the narrow, bustling streets, suddenly the air filled with something I hadn’t heard in a long time—the Adhān for ʿIshāʾ.
Now, if you live in the West, you know this sound is a luxury—one you don’t realize you’ve missed until you hear it again echoing off ancient walls. It wasn’t just a call to prayer; it felt like a call to my soul.
But here’s the irony.
While I was standing in awe, goosebumps rising, heart softening… life around me kept moving. Shops stayed open. Street vendors yelled prices. People walked by as if angels weren’t literally inviting them to success (ḥayya ʿalal-falāḥ).
I had a quiet moment of inner sarcasm—“So this is what happens when the divine becomes daily background noise.” I wasn’t judging, but I couldn’t help thinking: If I lived here, would I also start walking like a caffeine-deprived zombie past the Adhān?
Inside the Heart of Downtown Faith
We reached the masjid—an architectural gem that looks like it was built with devotion, not just design. The marble floors glowed under soft lights, the walls carried centuries of prayer, and every corner whispered “you’re in blessed company.”
As the iqāmah was called, I lined up with the congregation. Then the imām began his recitation—and, subḥānAllāh, I wasn’t ready for this. The Qurʾān rolled off his tongue with such depth and sincerity that it felt like the verses were speaking directly to each heart in the room. My eyes stung, and for a moment, I wished the world outside could just stop and listen.
After the prayer, I approached the imām, shook his hand, and thanked him for a recitation that reminded me why this dīn is both beautiful and transformative. He smiled—calm, humble, radiant—and simply said, “May Allah bless your visit.”
The Takeaway
That night, walking back under a full moon over downtown Amman, I realized something simple yet profound:
Some people are chasing miracles while the real miracle is echoing five times a day in their own skies—and they’re too busy scrolling, shopping, or sipping tea to hear it.
If you ever visit Amman, don’t miss Masjid Al-Hussaini. Go for the prayer, go for the peace, go for the reminder that faith isn’t found in silence—it’s found in the sound that calls you toward it.
Five stars—because stars themselves seem to align when the Adhān fills the Amman sky. 🌙
