I live near a university and right next door to me is an Islamic Student Center. Every so often a man or men go outside on their porch and start signing, cupping their hands over their mouth to increase the volume or their voices, and sing at me. Why?

Never said anything about "not liking" or being "disturbed" by it. It was just an innocent question..mother f*ckers.

Sorry It is not a sing a song.He makes an azan or summons the prayers that the time for praying has come..The meaning of an azan is witnessing that no other God than Allah the great
est,muhammad pbuh is the prophet and messenger of Allah,let us praying and let us to get a winning/happiness,All
ah the greatest,no other God than Allah.(Allah hu akbar 4 times,asyhadu allah illah haillalah 2 times,wa asyhadu anna muhammadar rasulullah 2 times,hayya alasholah 2 times,hayy
a allal fallah 2 times,allah hu akbar 2 times,la illah ha illahloh 1 times. ).The muslim man summons for compulsory praying 5 times a day e.g (1)before dawn (2) at noon (3) at the beginning of an afternoon (4) at the beginning of a night when the sun sets and the last (5) at the beginning of a night at about 1 hour after the beginning of a night.The man does not sing for you but he summons for muslims around the Islamic Student Center for getting together for praying.He is cupping his hands over his mouth and increase his volume voice in order to be heard by muslim men around him.I hope you do not be disturbed by his azan.The sentences of azan are universal and are same whereever they are around the world..He can also use the electric speaker for prayers calling..Azan or prayer calling is used in every mosque

This sounds a little funny. :) They aren't actually singing to you. I hope it doesn't disturb you. Actually, it is the call to prayer for Muslims, which takes place 5 times a day. It calls Muslims to their daily prayer in which they worship God. The call simply states that God is Great, there is none worthy of worship except Him, Muhammad is His last messenger, and then it calls them to prayer, and then calls them to success (symbolizing that being steadfast in prayers leads you to success.)
If you're confused or disturbed by it, I'm sure you could write them a letter or speak to someone in charge (hopefully they won't be rude to you.) :) And then they can keep the call to prayer inside the prayer hall instead of outside.
I hope that helps! :) (That was a cute question!) :) *Peace*

It's that darn "signing" which clearly is an indication that they are deaf and don't have any idea how much noise they are making.
Why don't you go ask them instead of asking us?

They're not singing "at you." They are praying, and praying in the appropriate place for them. If you don't like it, why don't you move?
