I wake up at the sound of the first adhan, the muezzin’s voice echoing through my room. But I do not get up to pray. Instead I roll over and press my face into my pillow and pray for cool air and sleep.Other Words For Home by Jasmine Warga Text Copyright (c) 2019 by Jasmine Warga.

Explanation
The speaker describes waking in a room to the first adhan, then pressing her face into her pillow and wishing for cool air. The “soupy” air suggests muggy, humid weather, while the pillow and waking up place her in a bedroom. Together, these details best match “a bedroom on a muggy summer day.”
