Chant used to call all Muslims to prayer, salat. Adhan is sent out from a minaret, either sung by a muezzin present in the minaret, or transmitted from a loudspeaker with the help of a cassette recording.
The function of adhan was forseen in a dream by one of the first Muslims, who saw a person calling out for prayer from the roof of a mosque. The Prophet agreed to adding this element to the salat. and the first person calling out the adhan was the black slave, Bilal. In the earliest times of Islam, the adhan could be transmitted by a person walking through the town streets, or from just the simple roof of the mosque. Later, with the general introduction of minarets, these came to be regarded as the proper place for the muezzin to call out the adhan.
The adhan consists of seven standard elements:
1 "God is most great" (x4)
2 "I testify that there is no god except God" (x2)
3 "I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God" (x2)
4 "Come to prayer" (x2)
5 "Come to salvation" (x2)
("Prayer is better than sleep" (x2)-- only with the morning prayer)
6 "God is most great" (x2)
7 "There is no god except God" (x1)


Muslims hearing the adhan must repeat

  • Im in Poland and saw the Sun about 2 rise so I had the sudden urge 2 do wudu and make salat which i have NOT done in 5 YEARS! Just because of this call to prayer. I feel so different now(euphoric)

  • @PrivateColby31bravo God does exist. Tell me. How can nothing create something, something has to create something. Think about it. And read the Quran if you really want to know the evidence that god exist. God has given alot of signs. Well, I am not intruding your way as an Athiest, its your own will. If you are keen that there is a God, then read the Quran. (:

  • I am a Catholic and see the news. I LOVE Islam! It is such a beautiful religion and the Middle East culture is amazing. The terrorists can take me hostage any day! God Bless your people, your religion, and your STRONG faith in God!!!

  • @PrivateColby31bravo

    ...and the earth and all this creation around u is the evidence that god exists.. the universe and all this creation could not have come about randomly..how is there a balance between everything..such as the sun..if it was like a bit closer to earth we would perish..if it were a bit further away we would freeze.there must be an author of these actions....u cant see all this creation around u and not have a creator...anyway, god bless, good day brother

  • @PrivateColby31bravo

    Hey brother, firstly what i have to say is that ' There is no compulsion in religion', this is a verse from the holy quran..now im not forcing my views upon u but just giving u something to think about in the most respectful way because u are my brother in humanity and i have a responsibility of conveying a message..how can we know that there is a god? well, if u see a car then u know it had a designer, if u saw footprints in the sand u will know a human has been there

  • @jacksmack77 so when I lay down for my final rest and nothing happens at least I can say I told you so to all the ignorant religious fools. Your wasting your time and hell I live in a country where I have the right to say this not to mention I fight so this country has those rights so I'm not shy I'll take advantage of my rights. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion non or these rights would exist if it wasn't for the military fighting for them!

  • @jacksmack77 lmao the only hell that exists is war this I know first hand hell doesn't exist however a soldiers picture of hell on earth is war and I've been there done that so throw some more shit at me there is nothing that can be done that I haven't either been through or seen. And yet again your ignorant twisted religion strikes by saying criminals go to heaven just cause they have faith? wtf?
