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.

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.
