Call to Prayer
Five times a day, every day of the year, from hundreds of thousands of minarets,
rooftops, homes, and mosques all over Planet Earth emanates the universal call
to prayer and worship of Allah, called the adhaan in Arabic.
Allaahu akbar – Allah is the
Greatest (4 times)
Ash-hadu an-laa ilaaha il-lal-laah – I bear witness that there is no god
except Allah (2 times)
Ash-hadu an-na Muhammadar-rasoolul-laah
– I declare that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger (2 times)
Hay-ya ‘alas-salaah
– Come for salaah
Hay-ya ‘alal-falaah
– Come to success
Allaahu akbar – Allah is the
Greatest (2 times)
Laa ilaaha il-lal-laah – There is
no god except Allah.
