Abdullah bin Zaid
narrates his dream to
Muhammad S.A.W
about Adhan
After the first Adhan call, it
started to spread to all parts
of the Muslim world, and
now 5 different Adhans
echoes across the Muslim
world in 5 different time
zones – Allahu Akbar Allahu
Akbar Walillahil Hamd!!
Why should it be beautiful?
– Allah has made our ears a source of either attraction or
repulsion of what we hear.
– We love to hear soothing, relaxing, and beautiful tones. This
is the law that Allah has created us with, if there is a
displeasing sound that is heard in our ear, we will suddenly
try to avoid listening to it or if we have to listen to it whether
we like it or not, it will not go beyond the ears.
– The reason behind Adhan as has been stated earlier is to
invite the Muslims towards worshipping Allah S.W.T.
– If the Adhan is beautiful, the person who rarely goes to the
masjid will try to run towards it seeking the beauty of Adhan
thereby getting an opportunity to get closer to other acts of
Ibadah Inshallah.

2. Face towards Qiblah
3. Turn the face towards right while saying
“Hayya alas-Salaah” and left while saying

4. To say the words at slow intervals.
5. To say it with loud voice even if you are alone

Consequences/Result of an
‘improper’ Adhaan
What consequences does an improper Adhan have on a
Muslim?
It sends out wrong messages to the Muslim, making him
feel uncomfortable and embarrassing while he is in the
company of his non muslim friends.
It doesn’t create a spiritual motivation to come and pray.
Does not create a sense of guilt if he does not want to
come.
Creates an awkward/backward impression in the mind of
the modern educated muslim youth.
 It takes them away from Islam!

Why no enthusiasm among the
educated youth?
• Role models missing (no professors, engineers, or

doctors giving Adhan!!!)
• Home Work: All of us should give Adhan in our
masajid backhome, here, in offices, and everywhere.
You may inspire many!
• Do not wait, ask for it!
• Spread workshops on Adhan

Numerous Benefits of good
Adhan for Muslims
• Enthusiastic to go to the masjid
• Iman is increased to a high level.
• Youth and the modern generation find satisfaction in Adhan and
stay away from music. It’s great alternative!!!
• Great inspiration to listen to the Adhan from beginning to the
end thereby makes them come to the masjid early enough to
catch the start.
• Something to keep humming, and hymning during other times
and keep getting reward at the same time for praising the name
of Allah S.W.T.

Numerous Benefits of good
..Adhan for Muslims cont’d
• All of us study to get an excellent education that will get us
excellent job Inshallah..
• We spend hours, days, weeks, months, & even years to
decorate our life by gaining excellent education.
• Everything in life has importance hence we invest time and
effort to decorate it and make it better and beautiful, why
not then Adhan???
• Excellent Adhan penetrates the hearts by which Muslim
can have more interest in their prayers.
• One of the best characteristic of a Mu’min is that their
 hearts are attached to the masjid.

Numerous Benefits of good Adhan
for Non-Muslims
• It is a source of Dawah.
• First impression about Islam & Muslims. “First
impression is the best impression.”
• Just imagine if a very beautiful Adhan is heard,
they will not just appreciate it but slowly feel
inclined towards it.
• Removes misconception about Muslims if any in
the mind and attracts them to Islam.
• Open & automatic Dawah to all!!!
