The words and translations to the azan before the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, and other prayers
“Adhan” (also “azan” or “athan”) literally translates to “announcement,” and it’s just that, an announcement to Islamic people that it’s time to pray. The announcer, or mu'adhdhin, stands in the minaret of a mosque or another high place, and sings the announcement 15 minutes before each of the 5 daily prayers. Acting as the mu'adhdhin is a great responsibility and honor, but it does take a little practice and memorization. That’s why we’ve put together a simple guide on the preparation, words, and procedures of calling the adhan, so that you can start your prayer properly.
Wash your hands, arms, face, and feet before you call the adhan.
Face the Qibla and cover your ears while you set your intention. Clear your mind and meditate on performing a strong call.
Sing or speak the adhan loudly, in a steady and clear voice, so that all can hear it.
Recite a short du’a to yourself after performing the call, then repeat the call (the
Call the adhan before each of the 5 daily prayers.
These prayers are the Fajr (before sunrise), Dhuhr (at noon), Asr (between noon and sunset), Maghreb (just after sunset), and Isha (before midnight). Your community will take more or less time to congregate based on its size, so consult your spiritual leaders to find out how long in advance you should perform the call.
Specific times for each prayer varies by location, so use a tool like

Wash your hands, face, arms, and feet to prepare for prayer.
to purify yourself—the adhan isn’t just a call to prayer, it’s a prayer itself. If you neglect to wash yourself earnestly and reverently, your prayer may not be accepted by Allah. Make your intention (niyyah) before you begin, resolving to wash and pray as best you can.
This means "Allah is the greatest". Group the repetition into 2 sets of 2: "
Allahu Akbar; Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar; Allahu Akbar!
" Say it slowly, in a loud and clear voice. Consider singing the words, if you feel comfortable doing so.
After you recite each sentence, the rest of the congregation (
) will softly answer every phrase that the mu'adhdhin recites – with one exception. After "hayya 'alasalah" and "hayya 'alal falah," the others should answer with
La hawla wala kuwata ila billah
Recite a du’a to yourself after the
A du'a is a personal prayer or meditation, said in a lower voice than the adhan. Say, "
Allahumma Rabba Hathihil Da'awatiTaamma WaSalatil-qaa’ima, Aati Sayyedana Muhammada nil-Waseelata Wal-Fadeelata Wal-Darajatal-'aleyata Al Rafî‘a, Wab‘ath-hu Maqaman Mahmudanilathee Wa‘adtahu, Innaka La Tukhliful-Mee'ad.
This translates to, “O Allah! Lord of this perfect call (perfect by not ascribing partners to You) and of the regular prayer which is going to be established, give Muhammad the right of intercession and illustriousness, and resurrect him to the best and the highest place in Paradise that You promised him, then my intercession for him will be allowed on the Day of Resurrection.”
You do not need to fill this space with a du'a, but it is
once the community has assembled.
athan. Literal meaning. 'Call'. The athan [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.
