The word azan is arabic, which means to announce. Azan’s one of Islam’s emblems. The heart of all believers is illuminated by the force of faith through Azan. The fascinating call to prayer leads to success; Allah is great; rich, black-and-white, low-intensity, peasant workers all come together. It’s no distinction. All of us join the shoulder to shoulder in a row. In thankfulness to the Almighty Lord, he bent his head down in prostration. The melody of the call to priesthood in the muezzin’s voice is so exquisite that it soothes the hearts of faithful as well as non-Muslims. The azan’s music is so fascinating, it reaches the mind, the mind wants to hear again and again that wonderful tune.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala said :
واذن من الله ورسوله الي الناس يوم احج الاكبر ان الله برئ من المشركين . ورسول
“And [it is] an announcement from Allah and His Messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage that Allah is disassociated from the disbelievers, and [so is] His Messenger.” (Surah At-Tawbah: 3)
Abu Huriarah (R.A.) told that Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa sallam said : “If Azan is gone out to pray, Satan go and fart until it does not hear Azan. If mu’adzin finishes Azan, it come and go again when the Iqamat calls.” (Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim)
From the minaret of the mosque, the muezzin calls for the welfare of the people five times a day in a melodious voice. Azan is this sweet call. The unique means of attaining the nearness of the great Lord is the incomparable fragrance of Paradise. Walking in the presence of the Lord like a self-absorbed madman in the lush garden of peace. This call to prayer is the key to the welfare and success of the believing Muslims in this world and the hereafter. But the unbelievers consider Azan as a joke. What has come up in the
Qur’an is as follows: وَذِذَا نَادَيْتُمْ لَِلَى الصَّلاَةِ اتَّخَذُوهَا هُزُوًا “Because they are ignorant.” (Surah Maeda: 58)
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “When it is time for prayer, and you are two, then one of you will give the azan and iqaamah, and the eldest of the two will lead the prayer.” (Bukhari)
From Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu anhu informed the word of Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam : “If people know how big is reward of Azan and the first raw, then they cannot get it except by lottery, they will vote to get it.” (Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim)
It is also narrated by Bukhari : “It is not Jinn, human and there is nothing that hear the voice of Azan from a mu’adzin, except it will become a good witness for Mu’adzin in the Hereafter later.” (Narrated by Bukhari)
Ibn Umar (R.A.) said : Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa sallam said : “Mu’adzin will be forgiven in the end of his Azan, and every et and dry thing which hear Azan will ask forgiveness for him.” (Narrated by Ahmad)
Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa sallam prayed Imam and Mu’adzin : “O Allah, give ingenuousness for Imam and forgive Mu’adzin.” (Narrated by Abu Dawud)
It is explained in a hadith : “Mu’adzin gets reward like the reward of people who pray with him.” (Narrated by An Nasa’i)
As it is explained in a hadith : “Your Lord wonders to a shepherd on the top of mountain, he peals Azan to pray, then he prays. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala said : “Look at my servant, he peals Azan and Iqamat to pray, he is afraid to Me, I has forgiven my servant and entered him to the Heaven.” (Narrated by Abu Dawud and An Nasa’i)
From Abu Hurairah (R.A.) said : “We have heard with Rasulullah SAW, then Bilal stood to peal Azan, then when he finished, Rasulullah SAW said ‘whoever say like this surely, he will enter to the Heaven.” (Al Hadith)
This call to prayer is heard every day all over the world. That is why the Muslim Ummah gets the key to establishing peace, harmony and unity from the call to prayer. So the believer will rush towards the mosque at the sound of the melodious call to prayer will create the welfare of the world and the hereafter and the ultimate success.
