The Danish government intends to resume efforts to ban the Islamic call to prayer broadcast publicly.

The Danish government, led by the Social Democratic Party, has announced that it will consider the possibility of banning the Adhan, the call to prayer recited by Muslims five times a day.

The Minister of Immigration, Morten Bødskov, stated that this call should not be heard in Denmark, emphasizing that he does not want citizens to feel like they are in a suburb of Islamabad. This initiative is not new, being the third attempt to create a legal framework for banning the Adhan, following previous attempts in 2020 and 2025.

Although some areas in Copenhagen have local regulations that limit noise, a potential ban could face legal obstacles, considering the guarantee of religious freedom by the Danish Constitution.

Denmark has approximately 270,000 Muslims and 100 mosques.
