What is the origin of Athaan?
During the time of the Prophet PBUH, they were searching for a way to call people to prayer. They thought of many ways but they were not that good enough. However when two men had the same dream, they told the Prophet PBUH. In their dreams they saw the words of the Azaan being called out. These words are now used today. The first man to call out the Azaan was a freed slave called Bilal (May God Be Pleased With Him)
What food do they have in a mosque?
It must first be understood that a Mosque is a Place of Worship, and not exactly a place one could eat food. However, the are specified times that one is allowed to eat in a Mosque. Like during the Holy Month of Ramadaan, it is preferable for worshippers to congregate at a Mosque before Sunset. Each one will bring their own food parcel, which will be shared amongst one another approximately 3 minutes after Sunset, at the Call to Prayer (Athaan). Some Mosques also provide food parcels for the under-priveledged communities. It is during this time that one really experiences the True Spirit of Islam.
What happens in a birth ceremony in Islam?
There is no specific birth ceremony in Islam. Customs vary from country to country. All Muslims who can afford it give a party to celebrate the birth of a child. In preparation for this, they slaughter a sheep (if possible) give some of the meat to the poor, and serve the remainder to their guests. During the aqiqa, guests celebrate the birth of a new community member, and a few (usually close relatives) may offer gifts to the child or its mother.
Who Calls to prayer in Islam faith?
Azan is the first call to prayer. The Azan is uttered in a loud, albeit sweet melodious, voice to announce to the faithful that it is time for the Obligatory Prayer and to invite them to offer the prayers. Those who perform Azan are known as 'Muezzin.' The honour of being the first Muezzin goes to Hazrat Bilal, a black slave who converted to Islam. He had a very sweet, resonant and musical voice. He was appointed as Muezzin by the Prophet of Islam. The appointment of a black slave as the first person to call Muslims for prayers, shows that in Islam all human beings are treated as equals. Rich or poor, black or white, short or tall - all are equal in the eyes of Allah. It is the piety of each individual that makes the difference.Azan is recited in a loud voice by the Muezzin facing the direction of the Ka'ba in the following words, which are said in the order mentioned:"Allahu Akbar" - recited FOUR times.Meaning, "Allah is Most Great."(four times)"Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah" - recited TWO times.Meaning, "I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah."(twice)"Ash-hadu Anna Muhammad-ar-Rasoolullah" - recited TWO times.Meaning, "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah."(recited twice)"Hayya 'alas-Salah" - recited TWO times.Meaning, "Come to prayer."(turning the face alone to the right and saying it twice)"Hayya 'alal-falah" - recited TWO times.Meaning, "Come to Success."(turning the face alone to the left and saying it twice)"Allahu Akbar" - recited TWO times.Meaning, "Allah is Most Great" (face back to front and saying it two times).Morning (Fajr) PrayersThe following phrase is added after "Hayya 'alal-falah" in the Azan of the early morning prayers:"As-salatu khairum minannaum" - recited Two times.Meaning, "Prayer is better than sleep" (recited two times).
What is the call to prayer?
The adhan tells people that the time for prayer has started. When the congregation has assembled for prayer, the iqamah tells the congregation that the actual prayer is about to begin. The iquama uses the words "Qad qamma tis-salah, Qad qamma tis-salah" which means that it is time to pray.
What do Muslims think about prejudice and discrimination?
This is an irrational question one which furthers dangerous stereotypes, this is because the definition of Islam is -the civilization of Muslims collectively which is governed by the Muslim religion. Therefore it would become unfair to label Islam as racist or not racist. I have come across really racist degenerates (I mean people) who are Muslim, and I have come across non racist Muslim people. Besides people fail to see that Islam is broken up into subcultures some who hold irrational extremist beliefs and others who don't. You just can't ask that question because it eliminates individualism
