Fact Check
In our fact-check, we conducted a keyword search and found that there is no statement from Morgan Freeman available online where he has said this. There is no interview, documentary, or social media post where Morgan has made this statement.
Morgan Freeman has indeed explored religious and spiritual topics, including Islam, in his documentary series The Story of God (2016) and The Story of Us (2017). In one episode, he visited a mosque and listened to the Azaan. However, he did not say that Azaan is the most beautiful sound in the world.
In the past, fabricated quotes have often been attributed to celebrities to push a specific narrative. In this case as well, while Freeman has shown interest in learning about different religions, this quote is falsely attributed to him.
In conclusion, the claim that Morgan Freeman said, “The sound of the azaan is the most beautiful sound in the world,” is false. There is no verified source confirming this statement, and it appears to be a misrepresentation of his exploration of religion in his documentaries.
