THE CALL TO PRAYER (Part 1)

Islam's call to prayer or azan is unique
in that it is an oral call. Others beat
drums, blow horns or ring bells.

Azan is a call to the Believers
to hasten to worship Allah The Merciful.

The 15 lines recited loudly in azan are:

1) Allah is Greatest (4 times)
2) I testify that there is no god
to be worshipped except Allah (twice)
3) I testify that Muhammad
is His final Messenger (twice)
4) Come to Prayer (twice)
5) Come to Success (twice)
6) Prayer is better than sleep (twice)
This call is for the dawn prayer only
7) There is no god to be worshipped
except Allah (once)
