LISTENING TO THE AZAN

1) When the believers hear the Azan they should listen to it

in silence and repeat each phrase of the Azan in silence
immediately after the Muazzin has finished saying the
phrase.

2) When the Muazzin says:- Hayya 'alas salah and Havya

'alal falah - the listener should say in reply:- Lahawla Wala
quw-wata Illa Bil-lah.

3) When the Azan has been completed, the listener and the
Muazzin recite Darud unto Prophet Muhammad(saw)
followed by a Du'a.

DARUD AFTER THE AZAN

"Allah humma sal-li 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muham-

madin kama sal-layta 'ala Ibraheema wa 'ala ali Ibraheema
innaka hameedum majeed. "
 "Oh Allah, let your peace come upon Muhammad(saw) and
the family of Muhammad(saw) as you have sent peace upon
Ibrahim (A.S.) and his family. Truly you are praiseworthy
and glorious."

"Allah humma barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala 'ali Muham-

madin kama barakta 'ala Ibraheema wa 'ala 'ali Ibraheema
innaka hameedum majeed."

"Oh, Allah, bless Muhammad(saw) and the family of

Muhammad(saw) as you have blessed Ibrahim (A.S.) and
his family. Truly you are praiseworthy and glorious."

DU'A OF AZAN

"Allah humma rabba H'azhi hid da'wa tit t'am mati was
sal'atil Qa imati 'Ati Muhammada nil waseelata wal Fazeelata
wab 'ath-hu maqamam mahmuda nil lazee wa ad tahu. ''

"Oh Allah! Lord of this complete prayer of ours, By the

blessing of it, give Muhammad(saw) his eternal rights of
intercessions distinction and highest class (in paradise). And
raise him to the promised rank you have promised him."

Jabir(ra) reported Allah's Messenger(saw) as saying, "If

anyone says upon hearing the Azan, 'O God, Lord of this
perfect call and of the prayer which is established for all
time, grant Muhammad(saw) the Wasila and excellency, and
raise him up in a prism worthy position which you have
promised', he will be assured of my intercession."(Bukhari)
IQAMAT

Iqamat is the second call to prayer and is uttered

immediately before the beginning of the obligatory prayer
offered with congregation.
