A prayer caller at a mosque in the Israeli city of Acre is appealing for his job back after being fired over photos posted online of him in a revealing outfit at a bodybuilding contest.
以色列阿卡市一座清真寺的宣禮員,在他於一場健美比賽中穿著暴露服裝的網路照片而被開除後,請求恢復工作。
Ibrahim al-Masri said he lost his job as chief muezzin of the Al-Jazzar Mosque after local officials came upon the photos of him at the state bodybuilding championship in 2017. "Each sport has a specific type of clothing. Football has its own. Same thing for bodybuilding," Masri said.
馬斯里說,在當地官員偶然看到他在2017年國家健美錦標賽的照片後,他丟了傑扎爾清真寺首席穆安津(宣禮員)的工作。「每種運動都有特定款式的服裝,足球有它自己的服裝,健美同樣也有,」馬斯里說。
Around 20 percent of Israeli citizens are Arab. Mosques and other non-Jewish religious institutions are supervised by local officials who report to the Interior Ministry.
約20%的以色列公民是阿拉伯人。清真寺與其他非猶太宗教機構由當地官員監督管理,並向內政部報告。
The 46-year-old’s voice has become a staple of life in Acre. Five times a day he called Muslim faithful to prayer over loudspeakers atop the mosque minaret. "The people of Acre love him. He is our muezzin, with a beautiful voice, and a charitable person," said Refaat Sha-aban, 50, an Acre resident.
46歲的馬斯里,其聲音已成為阿卡市的生活主要部分。他每天5次在清真寺的宣禮塔上,以擴音器呼喚穆斯林祈禱。「阿卡人喜愛他。他是我們的穆安津,他有著美妙的聲音,為人慈善寬厚,」50歲的阿卡居民沙阿班說。
