(a) Azan Azan is the call for prayer within its appointed time with certain prescribed words. Such prayer call is Sunnat at the advent of the time of each congregational prayer. While the Prophet was at Mecca, there was no Azan because the enemies did not allow the Muslims to meet together and pray. The thought of Azan arose in the Holy Prophet’s mind when he migrated to Medina. Jul 4, 2016 - Download Azan mp3 Fajr Alarm apk 1.3 for Android.

Some suggested that there should be the blowing of horns, or the ringing of bells, of chimes, or the lighting of fire in a lofty place. At last the suggestion of Hazart Omar (R.) was accepted. It is now the modern Azan, the call to prayer and the true national anthem of Islam. Hazrat Bilal, the Negro Muslim, held the honoured position of being the first Muazzin in Islam. (b) The Delivery of Azan The call is given out by a man standing in a lofty or a prominent place in as loud a voice as possible. He stands facing the Holy Kaba with his both hands raised to the ears and calling out with a melodious and loud voice the following sentences (in order), each sentence being repeated twice. Allah is the Greatest. (Repeat four times.) 2. Ashhado an la ilaha illa-’l-Lah.--. I bear witness that nothing deserves to be worshipped but Allah. (Repeated twice.) 3. Ashhado anna Muhammada ’r—Rasula ’l Lah.-. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Hayya ’ala ’ s-Sala.-. (Repeated twice, turning to the right side.) 5. Hayya ala ’l-Falah.-. Come to success. (Repeated twice, turning to the right side.) 6. Allaho Akbar.-. Allah is the Greatest. (Repeated twice) 7. La ilaha illa ’ l-Lah.-. There is no God but Allah. (Once.) The following sentence is added in the call to morning prayer after No. 5:-As-Salato Khayru ’m-mina ’n-Naum.—Pryer is better than sleep. (Repeated twice.) When the call is finished all make invocations in the following words Allah Humma Rbba Hazihi’d Dawati’t Tammati was Salatil Qa’imati a’ta Muhammedani’l wasilati wa’l Fazilati Wad Dara’ja ta’l Rafi yata wa’b’as ho Maqamma’m Mahmuda ni’llazi wa’atahu war’zook na Shafa at’taho yoummul Qiyama in naka la T o’gh laful Miyaad. Translation.-- O Allah! The Lord of this perfect call and the everlasting prayer, grant to Muhammad nearness and excellence and raise him to the position of glory which thou hast promised him as mediator on the Day of Judgment. (c) S ignificant of Azan Azan in Islam has a great significance. It is not the mere ringing of the bell or the meaningless blowing of horns. This is an appeal from an individual soul to the soul of humanity to turn to Allah, to follow the lead of Mohammed as His Messenger, and to come to partake of the spiritual feast for the progress and the nourishment of the soul. The call of the Muezzin is appealing in a great degree than the ringing of the deepest toned bell or the most costly and elaborate system of chimes. From thousand and thousands of minarets in the world come out spontaneously in loud and sweet melodious voices in the mornings and evenings, at the declining of the sun and when the sun is in the mid-west and in the grim silence of night, the message of Islam, the message of the World Prophet: “Allah is the Greatest, Mohammed is His Messenger, come to pray, come to success, there is no Deity but Allah, prayer is better than sleep.” What more a grand message to the world can there be? This is the message of Islam to the people of the world.
