1. The Adhan.

The first call to prayer in Islam.

Calling people to come to prayer.


Quran 62:9 Koran 62:9 All you who believe, When the call for prayer (adhan) is heard on the day of congregation (on Friday after midday), move quickly to remember Allaah and leave your business (and go to the mosque). That is better for you if you only knew (the reward and success it brings to you in the Hereafter).

The intenfion niyyah of calling the people to prayer by calling the Adhan is not said verbally but said in your heart meaning in your mind.

4. Cover your ears. Put the index finger in the ear or put your hands over the ears. This is traditional and is optional.

5. Recite these words slowly loudly and clearly.

6. Say two times Allaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar meaning Allaah is the greatest.

7. Say two times Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah meaning I testify that there is no god but Allaah.

8. Say two times Ash hadu anna Muhammadan rasul ullah meaning I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah.

9. Say two times Hayya alas salah meaning come to prayer.

10. Say two times Hayya alal falah meaning come to success (in this life and in the hereafter).

11. In Sunni Islam only before the morning prayer say two times Assalatu khayru min an-na-um meaning Prayer is better than sleep.

In Shia Islam say two times Hayya al Khair al amal meaning come to the best thing (which is prayer to Allaah).

12. Say two times Allaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar meaning Allaah is the greatest.

13. Say one time La ilaha illallah meaning there is no god but Allaah.

2. The Iqama.

The second call to prayer in Islam said immediately before the prayer begins.

The Iqama is for those in the mosque so it is said faster and is more monotone compared to the Adhan.
