Hagia Sophia reverberated to a muezzin's call to morning prayer from inside the 6th century Istanbul landmark for the first time in 85 years on Saturday. The building in the city's historic Sultanahmet district broadcast the azan from its minarets following Friday's Laylat al-Qadr, or night of power, marking the first revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad.
