Islamic Call to Prayer (english translation-subtitles)

In Muslim countries, the adhan (call to prayer) rings out over the land for each of the five daily prayers.

Muslims use the human voice to announce the times of prayer to the community. The Adhan is the call to prayer itself. This call is also pronounced as Athan or Azan.

Muslims observe five formal prayers each day. The timings of these prayers are spaced fairly evenly throughout the day, so that one is constantly reminded of God and given opportunities to seek His guidance and forgiveness.

Muslims observe the formal prayers at the following times:

Fajr (pre-dawn): This prayer starts off the day with the remembrance of God; it is performed before sunrise.

Dhuhr (noon): After the day's work has begun, one breaks shortly after noon to again remember God and seek His guidance.

'Asr (afternoon): In the late afternoon, people are usually busy wrapping up the day's work, getting kids home from school, etc. It is an important time to take a few minutes to remember God and the greater meaning of our lives.

Maghrib (sunset): Just after the sun goes down, Muslims remember God again as the day begins to come to a close.

'Isha (evening): Before retiring for the night, Muslims again take time to remember God's presence, guidance, mercy, and forgiveness.

In Muslim communities, people are reminded of the daily prayer times through the calling of the adhan. For those in Muslim-minority communities, computerized adhan programs are available.

Adhan, God's call to prayer, is a tremendously valuable opportunity for us to disconnect from our earthly temptations, temporary rushes and helps us connect with God and assists us to remember and seek a purposeful life in God's righteous way.

@GettoFabalous Same with me. It was magical early in the mornings as I was fairly new with praying. Thanks for your wishes. May Allah reward all of us, by guiding us to make more good deeds for each one we do and serve his wil with a purposeful life.

Hi i'm Mike. I'm 18 and white. I live in predominately christian town but I myself do not affiliate with any particular faith I believe in a God but do not know which one, or of what name or origin. However I will say that Islam is a beautiful religion and extremism aside is a very peaceful way of life. This is beautiful sounding muslim produced sound. First impressions lead most people to believe all muslims are terrorists but you must realize not all muslims are terrorists or radicals! Peace!

I LOVE THIS SONG! I LISTEN TO IT WHILE I'M WORKING OUT AND STUDYING! YOU MUSLIMS SURE KNOW HOW TO MAKE MUSIC!!

i think this is an amazing sound, although i dont agree with the message, being jewish.

question: it is in the qur'an that jews are pigs and dogs. why? we had done nothing, and lived in peace. why then, do we get this abuse and racism, even in the moden day? what is the reason behind the hatred towards jews by muslims?

@SentUpInSmoke Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) was also like you once upon a time. He searched ALL of the major religions Christianity, Judaism, Bhuddism, Islam. he asked God for guidance, he used his reasoning and logic, the result? Islam! Learn more about it, it really is your calling. :)

@MitchellTravel Hello 'gay gambling alcoholic satanist', have you read the translation of the adhan? when you hear 'haya alal falah' (hasten to success), you are being called to success. what is success? submitting to the One God and attaining peace through that, and ultimately gaining the pleasure of God. Yep, I'm inviting you to Islam and this adhan is inviting you too. you love the sound, i hope you love the message too.
