| Muslims
are required to offer Prayers five times every day. A call for Prayers is given
before each Prayer. The same call for Prayers (Adhan) resonates throughout the world using the same
words that were approved by Muhammad (Peace be upon him): Allah
O Akbar (God is Great) Allah
O Akbar (God is Great) Allah
O Akbar (God is Great) Allah
O Akbar (God is Great) Ash-hado
an La Ilaha Illallah (I testify that there
is no one worthy of worship except Allah) Ash-hado
an La Ilaha Illallah (I testify that there
is no one worthy of worship except Allah) Ash-hado
anna Muhammadar Rasul Allah (I testify that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) Ash-hado
anna Muhammadar Rasul Allah (I testify that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) Hayya ‘Alas Salah
(Come to prayers) Hayya ‘Alas Salah
(Come to prayers) Hayya ‘Alal Falah (Come
to success) Hayya ‘Alal Falah (Come
to success) Allah
O Akbar (God is Great) Allah
O Akbar (God is Great) La
Ilaha Illallah (There is no one worthy of worship
except Allah) An
additional phrase Assalatu Khayrum Minan Nawm (Prayer
is better than sleep) is repeated twice after Hayya ‘Alal
Falah (Come to success) in the call for the Morning
Prayers (Fajr Salah). |
