"The Holy Prophet (SAW) said,
“Stop doing everything during the Azaan, even reading the Quran, the person who talks during the Azaan will not be able to say the Kalima e Shahadat on his/her death bed"
Azan is the call to prayer. The hadees mentioned above realizes us the importance of Azan. Every Muslim should listen azan and stop doing everything and make reply of Azan which has the great and deed. Muslim do not use to bell for the prayer like Christians do. Azan is read loud by one person known as Moezzin (the person who calls others to come for salat/namaz). Azan is read by Moezzin facing the Qibla and raising his hands towards his ears. Before offering prayer azan is read and after azan Iqammah (the second azan is read for every prayer offered in Jammat) is read.
"The Holy Prophet (SAW) also said,
“The duaa between Azaan and Iqamah is not rejected” [Abu Daood & Tirmizi]
One should need to understand the meaning of Azan which is as explained below:
· God is Greatest, God is greatest
· God is Greatest, God is greatest
· I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but God
· [I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but God
· I bear witness that Muhammad is the prophet of God
· I bear witness that Muhammad is the prophet of God
· Come to prayer
· Come to prayer
· Come to success
· Come to success
· God is the greatest, God is the greatest
· There is no deity but God
*Azaan a miracle? Yes!*
*Amazing as it sounds, but fortunately, for the Muslims of the world, it is* an established fact.
Have a look at a map of the world
And
you will find Indonesia on the eastern side of the earth. The major cities of Indonesia are Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Saibil. As soon as dawn breaks on the eastern side of Saibil, at approximately 5:30 am local time, Fajar Azaan begins.
Thousands of Muazzins in Indonesia begin reciting the Azaan. The process advances towards West Indonesia .
One and a half hours after the Azaan has been completed in Saibil, it echoes in Jakarta . Sumatra then follows suit and before this auspicious process of calling Azaan ends in Indonesia, it has already begun in Malaysia ..
Burma is next in line, and within an hour of its beginning in Jakarta, it reaches Dacca, the capital city of Bangladesh . After Bangladesh , it has already prevailed in western India , from Calcutta to Srinagar .
It then advances towards Bombay and the environment of entire India resounds with this proclamation. Srinagar and Sialkot (a north city in Pakistan) have the same timing for Azaan. The time difference between Sialkot , Quetta , and Karachi is forty minutes, and within this time, Fajar Aazaan is heard throughout Pakistan .. Before it ends there, it has already begun in Afghanistan and Muscat .
The time difference between Muscat and Baghdad is one hour. Azaan resounds during this one hour in the environments of Hijaaz-e-Muqaddas (Holycities of Makkah and Madinah), Yemen , United Arab Emirates , Kuwait and Iraq .
The time difference
between Baghdad and Alexandria in Egypt is again one
hour
. Azaan continues to resound in Syria, Egypt, Somalia and Sudan during this hour.
The time difference between eastern and western Turkey is one and a half hours, and during this Alexandria and Tripoli (capital of Libya )are located at one hour's difference. The process of calling Azaan thus continues throughout the whole of Africa. Therefore, the proclamation of the Tawheed" and "Risaalat" that had begun in Indonesia reaches the Eastern Shore of the Atlantic Ocean after nine and half hours.
Prior to the
Aazaan reaching the shores of the Atlantic, the process of "Zohar Azaan" has already started in east Indonesia, and before it reachesDacca, Asr Azaan" has started.
This has hardly reached Jakarta one and half hours later, the time of "Maghrib" becomes due, and no sooner has "Maghrib" time reached Sumatra, the time for calling "Isha Aazaan" has commenced in Saibil! When the Muazzins of Indonesia are calling out "Fajar Azaan", the African Muazzins are calling the Azaan for Isha.
If we were to ponder over this phenomenon thoughtfully, we would conclude
the amazing fact that there is not even a single moment when hundreds of thousands of Muazzins around the world are not reciting the Azaan on the surface of this earth.
Subhaan Allah!!!
Even as you read this material right now, you can be sure there is Azaan somewhere!!!
Allah said: "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you."
If you are not ashamed, pass this message on...only if you believe.*
*"Yes, I've faith in Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and My Savior.
** Allah keeps me going day & night. Without Allah, I am no one.. But with Allah, I can do everything. Allah is my strength." *
May Allah Be With You
