Speakers are used when calling the Adhan or Iqamah such that nearby Muslims may be alerted to that it is time for prayer (Salah). There is also speakers during the actual prayer so that the Muslims praying behind the Imam can hear the Imam and thus know when to perform what movement.

I believe you are referring to "azan" recited through a loud speaker in the mosque. Azan is a "call to prayer". The purpose is to inform the muslims that the time for the obligatory prayer has come. There are at least two types of prayers in Islam, i.e. the obligatory prayers and the "sunah" (encouraged) prayers. Whereas for "sunah" prayer muslims can do it any time without reciting the azan through the loud speaker; there is a specific time to do the obligatory prayer. Hence, the "azan" recited through the loud speaker act as a reminder to the muslims that it is time to do the "obligatory" prayer.
Allah is not deaf. Muslims can even recite their prayer ("doa" or supplication) in their heart. In Islam there are "solat" (specific prayers) that Muslims must do according to a specific procedure and "doa" (general prayers or supplication) where Muslims can do it anywhere, anytime, say it loudly or just in the heart.

They do that because there is no specific minute for every prayer for Muslims to know, everyday the time of prayer changes according to the sun, it varies in the winter and the summer, I mean sometimes the evening prayer is performed at 5 pm( in the winter) and sometimes at 8 pm ( in the summer) that is why there is noway for a Muslim to know the exact time of the prayer unless he hears it by the speakers.

Why do people need to be called to prayer? They're so indoctrinated from birth to waste their lives away in 5-times-daily prayers with their noses to the dirt and their ***es to the sky (nice way to great Allah in the morning!), that it's highly unlikely they'll forget. And if they do, so what? Will God be offended? Will he strike them dead on the spot if they don't tell him what a great guy he is? Being God, he should know what a great guy he is and not need humans to remind him! But maybe he's becoming forgetful in his old age and needs to be reminded.

I'm not Muslim, but what I have been told is that the loudspeakers are used as a call to worship, to remind people of the Musliim faith that it's time to pray. This form of a call to prayer was developed many years ago, long before beepers, pagers, or even clocks were commonplace. The call is not forcing anyone to pray. It's simply a reminder.

Maybe the religion and prayer is not for you but why the anger towards Allah. Those are one of the good works of Satan (The First Enemy of Mankind). How anyone dare to insult God as you did. God the most highness will never humiliate himself by the people he creates. Are you insane! Allah is Almighty.

It is the human voice that the prophet ask to gather the Muslims (the believers). It is a call to prayer to pray Allah the merciful. I do not believe that there is any religion that does not pray to God.
If you have any questions, check the Holy Scriptures and/or New Testament.

First off, it would be OUR Allah, Muslims are our brothers, not our enemies.
Secondly, the loud noise is a call to prayer for the Muslims, not for God.
You need to get your facts straight, you are coming off as an illogical bigot.

When you love some one how do you express ???
Try shouting out in front of a big Crowd that you love some one...:) and see the expression on the face of your beloved ...
You will get the answer to your Question...
Muslims love Allah and they want to remind every one that Allah or God is great.. whats your problem ??
God is within our Heart but our problem is we forget that .. and we all need to be reminded through our ears of his greatness...
Why do Football fans Shout out for their country Players even if they are alone in their homes watching TV ?? Its that they love the Game and want to express their Love...
If some one Shouts out of love for some people engaging in Kicking a Ball ... How much should one shout for God whose Greatness and mercy is beyond our calculation ??
