AZAAN -IQAMAH

AZAAN – the muazzin, who faces the Kaaba and makes the announcement in a standing position with his index fingers in his ears. The wordings of the azaan are as follows:

a) ALLAHU AKBAR, ALIAHU AKBAR, ALLAHU-AKBAR, ALLAHU-AKBAR.

‘Allah is (infinitely) Great’

b) ASH-HADU-A(N)L-LA-I-LAHA ILLALLAH, ASH-HADU-A(N)L-LA-I-LAHA ILLALLAH‘ I bear witness that there is no god except Allah

c) ASH-HADU AN-NA MUHAMMADAR-RASUL-ULLAH ASH-HADU AN-NA MUHAMMADAR-RASUL-ULLAH‘ I bear witness that Muhammed, is the messenger of Allah.

d) HAY-YA ‘ALASSALAH -HAY-YA-‘ALAS-SALAH'(turning the face to the right) “come for Namaz”

e) HAY-YA ‘ALAL-FALAH -HAY-YA’ALAL-FALAH(turning the face to the left) come towards success

f) AS-SALATU KHAIRUM-MINAN-NAUM-( for the fajr Namaz) “Namaz is better than sleep

g) AL-LAHU AKBAR AL-LAHU AKBAR,Allah is (infinitely Great)

h) LA ILAHA IL-LALLAH-There is no god except Allah

Maintain silence,repeat the words and answer the azan.To reply to the words of Azaan is Mustahab.

The method of doing this, is to repeat after the Mu’azzin the words of Azaan, but when he says “Ash hadu an’na Muhammadur Rasoolullah” then you should kiss your thumb nails and rub them over your eyes. This should be done by saying “Sallal laahu alaika Ya RasoolAllah” the first time, and “Qurratu Aini bika Ya RasoolAllah” the second time. Then say, “Allahuma Mati’ni Bis Sam’i Wal Basari”. Whoever does this, will be blessed with entering Jannatul Firdous through the Shifa’ah (intercession) of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), He will never lose his eyesight, and his eyes will never be sore.(this shows love and respect for the prophetﷺ

.

When the Mu’azzin says, “Hayya Alas Salaah” and “Hayya Alal Falah”, then you should say, “Laa Howla Wa laa Quw’wata illa Billahil Aliyul Azeem”. In the Azaan of Fajr, when the Mu’azzin says, “As Salaatu Khairum minan Naum”, then you should say, “Sadaqtu Wa Barartu”.

It is not allowed to give answer to the Azaan during the Khutba of Jummah, or to kiss the thumbs or to recited Durood Shareef aloud. It is important to remain silent and listen to the Khutba. When Azaan is read, all talking should stop. Even if a person is reciting the Quran, he should stop and answer the Azaan. Even when walking on the street, one should stop and give answer to the Azaan when it is heard. If in your area, you are able to hear the Azaan of various Masaajid, then you should answer the first Azaan that you hear.

IQAMAH is similar to azaan with a little difference. After HAY-YA ‘ALAL-FALAH say qad qamatissalah 2 times. During Iqama do not put your fingers in your ears and do not not put your hands on your ears, say the iqama with a lower voice compared to the azaan but not so low that the people there can not hear, say the words of Iqamah without pauses like in Azaan.

After the azaan・ one must send blessings upon the Holy Prophet ﷺand then supplicate as follows: Allahumma rabba haazihi-daawatit-taammate was-salaatil-qaaemate aate sayyedenaa Muhammadan-ilWaseelata walFadeelata wad-darajatar-rafeeata wabas-hoo maqaamam-mahmoodanil-lazee wa-attahoo warzuqnaa shafaatahoo yawm-alqiyaamate, innaka laa tukhleful-meeaaad. (O Allah, the Lord of this perfect call and of the Prayer to be established! Grant our leader Hazrat Mohammed, the highest point in Paradise, and Excellence, and the highest rank, and install him on the praiseworthy position which You have promised him – and grant us his intercession on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed You do not go against Your promise.)
