The Islamic Call to Prayer

Rating:

Description: Adhan is called out by the muezzin in mosques, sometimes from a minaret, five times a day summoning Muslims for mandatory (fard) prayers (salah). There is a second call known as iqama (set up) that summons Muslims to line up for the beginning of the prayers. The main purpose of this call is to inform people that time of prayer has come about. Amongst the benefits of this call is that reminds Muslims and informs Non-Muslims of the basic beliefs of the Islamic faith.
