A new product from Nigeria’s total information and communications technology solutions provider, Globacom, will assist Muslims in their prayers especially during this month of Ramadan.

Called Glo Adhan, the new offer is a specially designed Caller Ring Back Tune which alerts Muslims about prayers times and is meant to enable the Muslim faithful to get maximum spiritual value from the holy month.

In a statement released in Lagos on Friday, Globacom explained that Glo Adhan alerts anybody who calls the telephone number of a subscriber ten minutes before and ten minutes after the five mandatory prayer times in a day.

The company believes that the alert service will be very helpful reminding Muslims of the praying time, considering that many of them who are engaged in very busy schedules may not easily remember when it is time to for their prayers.

“It is compulsory for Muslims to pray at 5.00 a.m., 2.00 p.m., 4.00 p.m.,7.00 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. every day in line with the Five Pillars of Islam. Fasting and regular prayers would increase the grace of Allah upon the faithful,” Globacom observed in a statement.

Glo urged subscribers who are interested in the product to send ‘AZN’ to 7728 or dial *7728*243# to subscribe at the one-off rate of N50 for Adhan service and the standard N100 caller tune monthly subscription charge. It added that the package would automatically change the ring back tune to call to prayer otherwise called “adhan” at the appropriate time.

The company also reminded subscribers of the on-going 200% promo which gives three times value on recharges of N200 and above and data plans of N2, 000 and above to enable them stay in touch with family, friends and business associates.

It had in a goodwill message to Muslims in Nigeria to mark the beginning of the Ramadan month, urged the Muslim ummah to uphold the Ramadan virtues of chastity, temperance, moral rectitude and holiness as enshrined in the Quran during and after the period of the fast.
