Kata Neeson, azan dilaungkan lima kali sehari dan untuk minggu pertama, dia “gila” mendengarnya.
“Tiba-tiba seruan itu meresapi jiwa dan ia menjadi sesuatu yang paling indah,” katanya.
Neeson berkata, ada kira-kira 4,000 masjid di Istanbul dan sesetengahnya begitu indah.
“Ia menyebabkan saya benar-benar berfikir untuk menganut Islam,” katanya.
Neeson dibesarkan di Ireland Utara sebagai penganut Katolik yang taat.
Bagaimanapun, dia beberapa kali mempertikaikan keyakinannya.
“Saya diajar mengenai Katolik, tetapi saya tertanya-tanya setiap hari secara tidak sedar - apa yang kita lakukan di dunia ini sebenarnya? “Saya sentiasa membaca buku mengenai Tuhan dan fahaman atheis,” katanya.
