Noon in the Slag Ravine

Today is Saturday and nobody is going to the mine, Pazu climb up of his house to do the Dhuhr azan. He voice echoes through the village's valley.

Originally, it was in the morning, and Pazu is playing his trumpet to wake up the villagers who live below him. The trumpet song title is " Morning in Slag Ravine" by Joe Hisaishi. I tried not to change his clothes too much and just made his shirt longer, and i kept Pazu's cap which i think is an essential part of his identity. I think Pazu looks more "Pakistani" than "Welsh" with the long shirt ( I live in Luton where there are a lot of Muslim Pakistani descendants)

Notes
Dhuhr is the prayer that is done between the afternoon until Asr, Muslims have to perform five daily prayers every day and is obligatory for those who have reached the age of puberty and is mentally healthy.

Adhan
Adhan is called out by the muezzin in the mosque five times a day, traditionally from a minaret, summoning Muslims for mandatory (fard) prayers (salah) (from wikipedia - [link])
