Saying the Adhan (also called Azan or Athan) and the Iqama is a highly virtuous act in Islam, carrying great rewards as mentioned in numerous authentic Ahadith. The Adhan is the beautiful Islamic call to prayer that announces the time for Salah, while the Iqama is the shorter call recited just before the congregational prayer begins. Learning how to correctly call the Adhan and Iqama is an important Sunnah that every Muslim should strive to master. In this guide, you will find a step-by-step method for performing the Adhan and Iqama, along with tips to memorize the words and understand their meaning, so you can fulfill this act of worship with confidence and devotion.
Note:
In the Azaan of Fajr, after حَيَّ عَلَى ٱلْفَلَاحِ add ☆ٱلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّوْمِ☆ٱلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّوْمِ. During Azaan and Iqama, turn your face to the right on حَيَّ عَلَى ٱلصَّلَاةِ and on حَيَّ عَلَى ٱلْفَلَاحِ to left.
After Adhan:
Read the folloing duaa after Azaan with durood (Salah) in the beginning and in the end: اللَّهُمْ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعُوَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالصَّلوةِ الْقَائِمَةِ آتِ سَيِّدَنَا مُحَمَّدَ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ وَالدَّرَجَةَ الرَّفِيعَةَ وَابْعَثُهُ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُودَ الَّذِي وَعَدتُه وَارْزُقْنَا ☆شَفَاعَتَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادُIqama (Takbeer):
Iqamah is similar to azaan with a little difference. After حَيَّ عَلَى ٱلصَّلَاةِ and حَيَّ عَلَى ٱلْفَلَاحِ add following:
(for two times). During Iqama do not put your fingers in your ears and do not put your hands on your ears, say the iqama with a lower voice compared to the azaan but not so low that the people there can not hear, say the words of Iqamah without pauses like in Azaan.
