Abathar al Halwaji giving Zohar Azan | Masjidul Hayy USA 🇺🇸 | One of the Best Voice in the World

ʾAdhān (Arabic: أذان) is a set of phrases recited to announce the time of prayer. Adhan includes fundamental Islamic teachings such as Monotheism, the Prophethood of Muhammad (s), and an invitation to salvation through prayer.

Lexically, 'adhan' means announcement or declaration. The word 'adhan' has also been used in the holy Qur'an in this way.[1] Iqama literally means to keep up or to make upright. Recited after Adhan, which is the first declaration, iqama is the second and last call which indicates the actual start of the prayer. Adhan is the call for gathering, and iqama is for standing up and preparing for prayer.

Combined together, adhan and iqama are sometimes referred to as adhanayn (The two adhans).

According to Shi'a
The practice of reciting adhan began in the first two years after Hijra, following the redirection of Qibla from al-Masjid al-'Aqsa to the Ka'ba. According to Imamiyya sources, the Prophet (s) received adhan by means of divine revelation. Archangel Jabra'il recited it for the first time during the night of Mi'raj. When he recited it once again, the Prophet (s) ordered Imam 'Ali (a) to teach it to Bilal b. Rabah. This has also been reported in Isma'iliyya sources with slight differences.

According to Sunnis
In some Sunni accounts, it is claimed that adhan is man-made and not based on divine revelation. According to these reports, the Muslims first had various ways to call for prayer - and it was 'Umar who suggested that someone should be designated to announce the prayer time. The Prophet (s) then appointed Bilal for this task.

According to other Sunni narrations, the Prophet (s) suggested that the Muslims, like the People of the Book, should use a horn or a bell to call for prayer. Then, 'Abd Allah b. Zayd b. 'Abd Rabbih had a dream in which the adhan was revealed to him. The Prophet (s) recognized it as a true dream and ordered him to teach the phrases to Bilal. Shafi'i, however, believes adhan has too high a position to be revealed in the dream of an individual like 'Abd Allah b. Zayd.

It is highly recommended to recite adhan before each of the five daily prayers.
The recommendation of reciting adhan is particularly stressed for maghrib (evening) and fajr (dawn) prayers.
The emphasis on reciting adhan is so great that in some Shi'a and Sunni schools of thought, it is considered to be wajib kifa'i (a collective duty).
Adhan is not recited before any recommended or obligatory prayer other than the five daily prayers. For the eid prayer, the prayer of Ayat and the prayer of Istisqa, the phrase, Assalatu jami'atan (The prayer in congregation) is recited.
In reciting adhan, Tartib (sequence of phrases) and Muwalat (continuity between them) must be observed. That is, it should be recited in its original order and with no unusual interruption or pause.
According to the Hanbali and Shafi'i schools, reciting adhan does not require a particular intention (niyya); however, according to Shi'a and other Sunni schools, such an intention is obligatory.
According to the Imamiyya and Hanbali schools, adhan must be recited in Arabic; however, in other Sunni schools, it is permissible for non-Arabs to recite adhan in their own language.
The mu'adhdhin (reciter of adhan) must be a mature male Muslim with a sound mind. It is also preferable that he is just, has a loud voice and is aware of exact prayer times. It is recommended that the mu'adhdhin is in the state of Wudu or Ghusl and that he stands in an elevated place while reciting adhan.
Some scholars have explicitly mentioned that it is permissible for a female to recite adhan when heard only by a female audience.

According to the tradition of the Prophet (s), the adhan is whispered into the right ear - and iqama into the left ear - of every newly born Muslim child.

In the past, adhan has also been used to call for public gathering in situations such as announcing the demise of a well-known figure, warning of a nearby fire, or demanding for justice.
