Adhan
Arabic
أَذَان
Romanization
adhān
Literal meaning
'Call'
The adhan[a] ([ʔaˈðaːn], Arabic: أَذَان, romanized: adhān) is the first Islamic call to prayer, usually recited by a muezzin at five times of the day in a mosque, traditionally from a minaret. The adhan is also the first thing recited in the ear of a newborn baby. Its often the first thing recited in a new home.[3]
It is the first call summoning Muslims to enter the mosque for obligatory (fard) prayers (salawat); a second call, known as the iqama, summons those already in the mosque to line up for prayer. Muslims are encouraged to stop their activities and respond to the adhan by performing the prescribed prayer, demonstrating reverence for the call to prayer and commitment to their faith.[4]
In Turkey, it is voiced in five styles depending on the time of day: sabâ, uşşak, hicaz, rast, and segâh.[5]
In Arabic, it's Fajr (فجر), Dhuhr (ظهر), Asr (عصر), Maghrib (مغرب), and Isha (عشاء).
