What
is Adhaan ?
When
the time for any of the 5 obligatory prayers comes, a man (called
a mu-adh-dhin) and calls aloud these words to summon muslims in
the neighbourhood of the mosque to come to prayer:
Allaahu akbar - Allah is
the Greatest (4 times)
Ash-hadu an-laa ilaaha
il-lal-laah - I bear witness that there is no god except Allah (2
times)
Ash-hadu an-na
Muhammadar-rasoolul-laah - I declare that Muhammad is Allah's
Messenger (2 times)
Hay-ya 'alas-salaah -
Come for salaah (2 times,
turning the head to the right both times)
Hay-ya 'alal-falaah -
Come to success (2 times, turning the head to the left both times)
Allaahu akbar - Allah is
the Greatest (2 times)
Laa ilaaha il-lal-laah -
There is no god except Allah.
Note : In the adhaan
of Fajr after Hay-ya
'alal-falaah, say 2 times:
As-salaatu khairum-minan-naum - Prayer is better than sleep.
