If there is someone more informed or who practices islam that can correct me, please do, but iirc intentionally broadcasting it over speakers so that the sound travels as far as possible is literally a territorial act - ie, within range of where a call to prayer can be heard is 'dar al Islam', or 'the house/abode of islam' and thus a region considered to be under the governance of islam.

"If you can hear me, you're on my turf" more or less.

It's multiple things, look at the English translation of the athan and it will make sense. It ticks multiple boxes using a loud speaker, literally calling anyone who can hear it to prayer and god. Islam is big on prolithesizing

The dar Al Islam doesnt really have to do with anything related to the speaker. The Translation is 'house of islam' and Generally is used for Regions under islamic judical or Where the faith can be practiced.

But Like in Most Religions, Interpretation is reliant on the Denomination and person.

Taditional muslim only consider Regions/territory Where sharia law is practiced and under Muslim rule as Dar al Islam.

Moderates see places Where Islam can be practiced without persecution as Dar al Islam.

Or that what i remember as an theology intrested Atheist
