Adhan (Athaan) is the Islamic call to prayer, recited by the muezzin. The root of the word is ʼḏn "to permit", and another derivative of this word is uḏun, meaning "ear."

This is the minaret of Kairouyine mosque in Fes. The university which is attached, was founded in 859AD and 'is considered the oldest continuously operating institution of higher learning in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.' Wikipedia Article
