What is the call to prayer?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 3

The adhan is the call to prayer itself, and the person who calls it is called the muadhan.

The following is the Arabic transliteration and the English translation of what you hear:

Allahu Akbar

Allah is Great

(said four times)

Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah

I bear witness that there is no god except the One God (Allah).

(said two times)

Ashadu Anna Muhammadan Rasool Allah

I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

(said two times)

Hayya 'ala-s-Salah

Hurry to the prayer (Rise up for prayer)

(said two times)

Hayya 'ala-l-Falah

Hurry to success (Rise up for Salvation)

(said two times)

Allahu Akbar

Allah is Great

[said two times]

La ilaha illa Allah

There is no god except the One God (Allah)

For the pre-dawn (fajr) prayer, the following phrase is inserted after the fifth part above, towards the end:

As-salatu Khayrun Minan-nawm

Prayer is better than sleep

(said two times)
