The Adhan-Call to Prayer
Definition: The Adhan is an announcement, with specified wording, informing the people of the occurrence of the time of the prayer.
Ruling:
The Adhan is a collective duty upon the inhabitants of villages and townships.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَلْيُؤَمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ»
When the time of the prayer is present , then one of you call the Adhan, and the eldest of you lead the prayer. (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
It is a Sunnah for both the traveler and the one living in remote areas.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي غَنَمِكَ أَوْ بَادِيَتِكَ، فَأَذَّنْتَ بِالصَّلاةِ، فَارْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَسْمَعُ مَدَى صَوْتِ الْمُؤَذِّنَ جِنٌّ، وَلا إِنْسٌ، وَلا شَيْءٌ إِلا شَهِدَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
when you are with your sheep or out in a desert, then call the Adhan for the prayer, raising your voice with the call. For none hears the voice of the moazzin – neither jinn, human, nor anything – except that it will testify to that on the Day of Judgement. (Al-Bukhari)
Its Wording:
The Wording of the Azan as taught by Allah’ Messenger ﷺ to Abu Mahthurah, he said, “Allah’s Messenger taught me the Azan:
«اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ »
Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar.
“Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great.”
«أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ،أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ »
Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illaallaah, Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illaallaah.
“I testify that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah, I testify that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah.”
«أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَّسُولُ اللهِ»
Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasoolullaah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasoolullaah.
“I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah , I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
(Then repeat the first testimony and the second testimony in a loud voice.)
«حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ »
Hayya ‘alaas-salaah, Hayya ‘alaas-salaah.
“come to the prayer, come to the prayer.”
«حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ »
Hayya ‘alaal-falaah, Hayya ‘alaal-falaah.
“Come to the success, come to the success.”
Note: For The Only Fajr prayer add here this sentence.
«اَلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ، اَلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ»
As-salaatu khayruminan-nawm, As-salaatu Khayruminan-nawm.
“The prayer is better than sleep, the prayer is better than sleep.”
« اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ »
Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar.
‘Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great.’
«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ»
Laa ilaaha illaallaah.
“None has the right to be worshiped except Allah.” (At-Tirmithi)
The condition of the Caller:
The one who delivers the Azan should be honest, he should have a nice voice, and be knowledgeable of the times of the prayers. It is recommended to deliver the Adhan from a high place like a minaret. He should place his fingers in his ears, and to turn to the right and to the left when reciting: “Come to the prayer. “Come to success.” It also is recommended that he does not accept any wage for this job, except form the national treasury or from charitable endowments.
