Adhaan



Bilal ibn Rabah was an Ethiopian born in Mecca in the late 6th century. He was known for his beautiful voice. Prophet Muhammad chose Bilal as his muezzin, i.e. the one who called the people to their prayers.

The Adhaan (or azaan) is the call to prayer.

Here is the Adhaan from the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

there is a little mistake in translation from arabic to english.
where in english (and arabic transcription) is written : hasten toward the best action (it is probably shi´ite supplement to ezzan) in original arabic letters I read : AS-Salátu chajru min An -naum
that means Prayer is better than sleep!
it is one sentence of Ezzan which muazzin calls only in the morning.
