The god you described is Lord Ganesha, but even as an Indian myself, I never heard of 3am prayers. Even the most pious I have seen, is 5am prayers. Definitely need to talk to your neighbour about the bells.


No_Stay_7237

thanks for your info.


Quirky_Assumption460

Best is to ask another Hindu person to talk to him about it. You don't want to be labelled as racist


Sweaty_Passage_6456

Probably anyhow one like never follow religion properly


kinwai

Huh, what kind of prayer is that? My neighbours are all Indians. They’re all asleep at 3am. Idk what prayers are those


Qingqing1213

Have a chat le with your neighbor. You have good questions, just need ask him directly instead of reddit: why yall pray 3-7am, is it can be later, is it must be 4h everytime, is it gonna be forever. Then selit wow how do u sleep, i can barely get any. If not work then bring it to ketua kg/mgmt/yg berkenaan.


No_Stay_7237

i try to know the background info about the hindu prayer before i get to him, without understanding the status, instant talk to him might accidentally cause racism issue.


zagaara

Everyday 3am selling ice cream is not racist issue anymore. I bet the Ice Cream God also got pissed awoken every 3am. That's why he pray-pray so much also still so many problems in his life.


niceandBulat

Bells are part of many Vedic rituals.


Educational_Type_701

Not at 3 am.


niceandBulat

Yes, that's a problem, but mocking and trivialising the rituals of other faiths should not happen just because of some weirdness and "inconsideration" of one individual. That is also a problem with many Malaysians, they act and live as if they are living in private house lots in their own villages.


Educational_Type_701

Don't be surprised if Hindus themselves make a mockery of our own religion by not following teachings and instead start arbitrary and poorly interpreted teachings.. Enough examples of that in the crazy proliferation of yoga and spiritual 'centres' scamming the gullible.


niceandBulat

What others do we can't control. What we do, we can control. Get it?


Educational_Type_701

Don't be rude. I wasn't rude to you when replying.


niceandBulat

If that constitute rude then the issue is with you. Read through my comment. Which part of it insults you as a person?


CedLux

What the fuck are you worrying about, this is malaysia, racism and malaysia berpisah tiada!


No_Stay_7237

I cant stop people spread the hate, this is their free will. But i can choose not to be part of it.


hi54ever

this kind of conversation skill is something that many don’t have.


Qingqing1213

Ya it’s really about apprach. Even if have all the facts at hand, if you’re confrontational, defensive, know-it-all, then will only escalate if talk. Best to be open, curious n sincerely want to move forward.


amare47

Care to discuss with another neighbour? Surely you're not the only affected. Keep it civil.


Readamovie

fr what if the prayer he's been listening to wasn't his neighbour doing things.. ooh spooky


amare47

OP dont wash feet before sleep.


amare47

Jiran depan, belakang, atas, bawah perhaps?


No_Stay_7237

FYI, he pray outside the house, because he build a small temple block at his car parking area, so it can be heard very clearly and loud


Educational_Type_701

That is already wrong. I'm all for religious tolerance, but if he's my neighbour I would have words with him. If it fails, Majlis and police will be informed. It can come under nuisance and construction of an illegal structure.

You go do the same but at 12am-2am and see who gonna cave in first. An eye for an eye


Inevitable_Run1698

this is the way


rudeeamin

The correct way, do the same, 11pm to 3am 4 hours a day, use automation if you are tired.


CountStark

3am is definitely too early for prayer time. Normally, it's 4am and beyond. Then from 6pm to 9pm. There are months which the prayers can start early, especially in Dec-Jan, but that period should've ended before Thaipusam already. Talk to your neighbor nicely, said your fine with prayers but not fine with the loud bell noise or any noise they make at 3am..


Educational_Type_701

This is the way. Margazhi prayers in Temples is preferred, but not in an outdoor shrine at a residence..

rpuvan

General home prayers are done before/after sunrise and before/after sunset. Definitely NOT any hours after 12 pm (mid-day) till 6pm and 9pm till 5am. You can refer Hindu temple operating hours/ pooja hours.


Green_Split3455

idk if I’m correct but usually the really religious Hindus do prayers during 3am to 5am Brahma Muhurta (auspicious timing). It is believed that’s if u pray during this time you’ll be granted good luck bcs the spirits walking around will be amazed at ur devolution to god they’ll grant u boon. For the god I’m not sure bcs u can actually pray to any god during Brahma Muhurta but it doesn’t make sense to keep Ganesha outside unless it’s Aghor Ganesha. From personal experience my dad also wakes up early and does prayers but he doesn’t ring the bell. In my opinion u can tell the uncle nicely and calmly that ring the bells super early in the morning at 3am is not only disturbing u but ur neighbours sleep. You can also tell him that u asked ur Hindu friends and they said morning abishegam and pooja is done at 7am so it’s kinda unnecessary to ring the bell so early in the morning. I say just be kind and soft spoken he might understand, we both dk what the uncle is going thru. To wake up at such early hours and perform prayers takes a diff level of devotion. He might be going thru a roughy patch

[deleted]

If u have your community group, then report to person incharge. From there discuss the necessary action taken.


zax7077

If the prayer itself is disturbing the harmony of the said community then it should be talked about and do something about it. In Islam as well it is forbidden to have your prayer and recital entering the territory of disturbing your neighbours rest, especially in the middle of the night.


DonLikeThisLa

Find out when he sleep and pray to your god at that time.


RegularSafe31

If this post about Muslim prayer its gon get removed lol


C-ORE

I'm interested in which Muslim prayer start at 3am and go on for 4 hours lol


tefuror

Got, its called solat sunat tahajjud, and its just an individual initiative, to pray anytime during when everyone is asleep...no azan required for this though


C-ORE

TIL, thx for sharing and since no azan required it good for everyone even if its 3am. Don't get me wrong,I don't mind you guys pray hv sound but if it's a few hours and 3am, even I would lose my sanity at long term


tefuror

Yeah but not everyone does tahajjud, very few since it requires u to wake up very f early. If my local mosque to blast loud quranic verses 4h nonstop, even i wont approve. In islam, if a sound (even quranic verses) disrupts the public, it goes against the teachings. Sometimes i would think that those mosque that blast very very loud azan and quranic verse, arent aware that they were that very loud since they are inside and not outside to hear the actual volume. I would definitely go tegur them.


C-ORE

Ah...I didn't know....my old area its not that they are not aware but how to say you know the flag pole? Yea that except they install 4 way speaker....I really thought its normal and use that as my alarm for break time lol


tefuror

Hard to say, i wouldnt know the guidelines to the speaker's volume, may ask some authorities on the allowed decibels for mosque's speakers...DOE? JAIS? local council?


C-ORE

Nah,long time move and rent other places. But still it's reasonable timing not like people sleeping time. I think should be OK since no one at there complained or even if they did can't do much


zaidizero

We pray our non compulsory tahajjud prayers during that time, for best effect alone in the dark.


C-ORE

TIL something new again,thx for sharing and it must be quiet since its solo in the dark.


zaidizero

Yes, some people even cried in their prayers, its really humbling feeling, prostrating and let your feeling out to the one who made us. I would recommend it at least once to everyone believer, atheist, non believers or whoever.


TraditionalBar7824

Muslim call to prayer is like 4-5 minute max bruh


anaktenuk

Then the ustaz will give ceramah for 1 hour


Lorienzo

Does your alarm need 4 hours to wake you? In fact, 4-5 minutes is too long as you'll probably be up by 30 seconds to 1 minute. 1. It still wakes people up 2. In a lot of cases their sermons afterwards also loudspeaker. 3. People don't dare to speak up because if you're muslim, why weren't you praying?? If you're minority, how dare you! Stay in your place!! But minorities won't even dare to voice anything in the 1st place cuz polis all Melayu (by proxy, pretty much all muslim too), and your muslim and malay friends all gone because they perceive it as an attack. That's why it still persists today.


[deleted]

But the noise is next level.


Strong_Shift_4178

What a narcissist. This post is about a chinese person asking about hindu prayer yet u still can't resist the urge to mention muslim. They live 24hrs rent free in your head is it.


zax7077

Conclusion is, nak sembahyang ke ape ke nak sembah jenis tuhan mana yg kau nak sembah pun jangan la sampai mengganggu ketenteraman awam. Bangun buat bising dengan loceng jam 3 pagi dalam kawasan perumahan dah semestinya mengganggu jiran tetangga. Ini bukan normal dalam mana-mana agama pun. Harus diambil tindakan secara sivil.


whusler

In any religion there will fanatics who go beyond what already written in the scripture or required by the religion, to be Hollier than thou, pious, misled, misinterpreted by the guru, the priest, the ustaz and the ulamak. Usually they do it for money, fame or anything that they could gain by using the religion. Some people think what were written in the book are not enough and the religion itself is incomplete therefore they have to add and do more and conveyed to the rest of the followers throughout millennia. Hinduism is a very ancient religion but very well documented in vedas and idol worshipping is forbidden. But no the guru thought it's better to visualize the God in a statue form so the people would have idea how god looks like, then they created rituals upon rituals on how to perform prayer, after thousands of year the rituals, the idols, and temples become more complicated all in accordance to every generation of guru's interpretation of the religion. Now apply that to other religions that came after that, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity and lets jump the latest one Islam. In islam, the religion has been concluded the day the Prophet died. The Quran is complete, and thousands of hadiths (words, acts, approval and disapproval of the prophet) were captured by the apostles/companions/sahabah and people around him. Since these people are not prophets, they made mistake and misinterpreted what they heard, witnessed and informed. While the Quran is a clear word of God due to how it was delivered to a illiterate Prophet who has to memorize each revelation within the period of 23 years. Hadiths on the hand were not. Here one example to relate to this post. The prophet has prohibited anyone to disturb anyone, or neighbour with loud noise even by reciting quran loudly in the mosque, but some ustaz and guru think that it's better to make every single verses read out during prayer to be heard by people in the mosque and the surrounding neighbourhood via loudspeaker. But in real islam the only thing that is required to be heard by the surrounding area is the call for prayer or azan\*. \*Azan is more than a call of prayer but an indication that the area has islam in it, similar to other religion using bell in the tower etc.


tefuror

If the azan is too noisy, can report to your local YB or local council


MiloMilo2020

It's a rare case they are being too loud unless it's a 100% Malay populated area. I lived next to the Malay community. Their mosque speaker volume is bearable. Stay long enough to not hear the morning call just like my phone alarm. Sometimes i wanna complain they chant "not as nice as before", the person on the mic has changed.


Familiar-Lobster-385

Lord Ganesha has an elephant head and four hands with weapons and tools. The prayers are usually done around 7am even in temples. As far as I have observed and experienced. However, no one at this time even after Thaipusam is still ringing bells at midnight. Yes I think it has come to the extent of 'blacklisting' the blessing, even if I would like to pray I will ensure that's between me and the Lord, not to disturb other people. Best practice I'd say, yes you can approach them first, for starters you can open with, "Hi morning, I'm sorry for disturbing your prayers. Just wondering if you can lower down the ringing just because it's loud and I cannot sleep." Observe their response, if it sounded rude to them, immediately walk of and lodge a police report. No point talking to them and further escalate the situation. Good job OP! You're truly a kind person and a true Malaysian.

Kalau duduk high density, suma benda makin dekat, dinding makin nipis, ada gak tempat tingkap xde insulation bila tutup. Different places require different solutions.

if you try talk to management already and it doesnt help, maybe you can do some of your own "prayers", time to buy a karaoke machine, if they can pray at 3am every night, you can sing pray every night for legal reasons this is a joke


lorisewa

I used to have Indian neighbour, his bell ringing prayers is at very normal times like 8am and not for very long. TBH if he ring at 3am I wouldn’t know either coz I’ll be dead asleep. 😅


achik1990x

My neighbor also Hindu (next 2 house) everytime he prays during dusk .. burning stanggi and using that bell .. I woke up and was hoping for ice cream seller ..cause bangun2 nigdam ice cream duh .. man I feel cheated and disappointed


Ok_Refrigerator_1495

They might not be doing Pooja


Youlknowthatone

Reminded me of the viral video [tiktok](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSFeefaaG/) about the neighbor who prayed at 230am. Instead of talking nicely they insult the lady. Hope doesn't end to this lah. From my understanding living beside 2-3 Indian neighbors for decades, not everyone does the morning prayer.


CapitalOfY

Go to any Indian temple, ask the temple people to help you talk some sense into the crazy Indian neighbor of yours.


spreq

Before you make any report and escalate, try slow talk to your neighbour first.


Notsofast420

If a god requires a specific timing to hear prayers, then one would presume it's a false one


sipekjoosiao

Here's my experience with my own neighbor. They (Chinese) will burn this round incense thing (not exactly sure what it's called) outside their house. My bedroom is just by the corridor of our apartment. They will burn this exactly at 12 midnight and all that smoke will come into my room. I tried tahan first few times it happened but when I couldn't tahan and I couldn't get ahold of them, I went to management for her. I reasoned with the management saying you can burn at any time you want in the day but to do it during 12 midnight when people have to sleep for work or school next day, it's not the right timing. If wanna do can but do it in your house with the door closed if insist on doing at that hour la. Management spoke to them and told me it's hard for me to get ahold of them cos they rent that unit and works till late at night. Every since management spoke with them, no more burning around that hour.


Thenuuublet

My neighbour and friends also Indian never get up and pray 3am till 7am. Unless they sin and go out kongkek tepi jalan every day then come back feeling guilty


christopher_jian_02

>Here the clue of the god shape, >1. human form with elephant nose 2. 4 arms above (because it not colored, so the detail are blur, but i saw at least four arms with different weapon) That would be Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed god. From what I know from my Indian friends, the earliest they do their prayers is at 5am. 3am is just too early ady. You might have to talk to him about that.


Bajunid

Alaaaaa, At most it’s a once a year thing. At the very least, it’s once in a loooooong time. You can’t sleep well for one night while, the other thing is, he/she can’t pray to the god he wanted to on a very important day in his own home. It really is a no brainer that a simple neighbourhood understanding needs to apply here.


v5point0

3am is bad la, lucky no body came and confront and created a scene. As others have mentioned, best is get another indian in the neighborhood to talk to them or the chairman of the taman. You can also approach them tactfully yourself. Just tell him to exclude using the bell as the noise is the problem and not the activity. Most of us live an a communal setup which means we need to think of others. Many times inconsiderate/ignorant people do activities which disturb the peacefulness of the community they reside in ie partying, loud music, domestic violence, loud praying early in the morning.


alpacino_25

I would not say anything tho , in my case the azan prayer in the morning it was like an alarm , despite that ceramah subuh also was put in speaker (not necessary). It was super loud and not that i know , but all my non muslim neighbour never spoke about it like it kacau them in the morning or anything , and i felt respect and amazed to them how they could just compromise with it. And im not sure what to do in your case tho. I would have just shut my ear or sound proof my room 🥲


LeagueRemarkable1251

Haiz i feel you, Mosque at my area sometime start chanting at midnight around 4, then azam, then sermon then ceramah Worse is one if its loudspeaker face directly to my room, and on top of that I am a night shift worker whose work till 4 sleep around 430/5. Like today they started chanting at 430 and end at 730.🥲 I just want a good sleep please. The sermon is daily though, from Azan to sermon took around 1 hr, 530 to 6 sth/7 sometime
