In The Name Of Allah, The Most Merciful & The Most Beneficent”

“ADHAN”

Assalam-u-Alaikum Everyone,

Amazing as it sounds, but fortunately for the Muslims of the world, it is an established fact.

Have a look at a map of the world and you will find
Indonesia on the eastern side of the earth. The major cities of Indonesia are Java, Sumatra,
Borneo and Saibil. As soon as dawn breaks on the eastern side of Saibil, at approximately 5:30 am local time, the Fajr Adhan begins.

Thousands of Muaddhins in
Indonesia begin reciting the Adhan.

The process advances towards
West Indonesia. One and a half hours after the Adhan has been completed in Saibil, it echoes in
Jakarta. Sumatra then follows suit and before this auspicious process of calling Adhan ends in Indonesia, it has already begun in
Malaysia.

Burma is next in line, and within an hour of its beginning in Jakarta, it reaches Dhaka, the capital city of
Bangladesh. After Bangladesh, it has already prevailed in western India, from Calcutta to
Srinagar. It then advances towards Bombay and the environment of the entire
India resounds with this proclamation. Srinagar and Sialkot (a north city in
Pakistan) have the same timing for Adhan. The time difference between Sialkot, Quetta, and Karachi is forty minutes, and within this time, the Fajr Adhan is heard throughout
Pakistan. Before it ends there, it has already begun in Afghanistan and
Muscat. The time difference between Muscat and
Baghdad is one hour. The Adhan resounds during this one hour in the environments of Hijaaz-e-Muqaddas (Holy cities of Makkah and Madinah), Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and
Iraq.

The time difference between Baghdad and Alexandria in
Egypt is again one hour. The Adhan continues to resound in Syria, Egypt, Somalia and
Sudan during this hour. The time difference between eastern and western
Turkey is one and a half hours, and during this time it is echoed with the call to prayer.

Alexandria and Tripoli (capital of
Libya) are located at one hour’s difference. The process of calling the Adhan thus continues throughout the whole of
Africa. Therefore, the proclamation of the “Tawheed” and “Risaalat” that had begun in Indonesia reaches the Eastern Shore of the
Atlantic Ocean after nine and half hours. Prior to the Adhan reaching the shores of the Atlantic, the process of the “Dhuhr Adhan” has already started in east Indonesia, and before it reaches Dhaka, the “’Asr Adhan” has started. This has hardly reached Jakarta one and half hours later, the time of “Maghrib” becomes due, and no sooner has “Maghrib” time reached Sumatra, the time for calling the “’Isha Adhan” has commenced in Saibil!

When the Muaddhins of Indonesia are calling out the “Fajr Adhan”, the African Muaddhins are calling the Adhan for Isha.

If we were to ponder over this phenomenon thoughtfully, we would conclude the amazing fact that there is not even a single moment when hundreds of thousands of Muaddhins around the world are not reciting the Adhan on the surface of this earth. Even as you read this material right now, you can be sure there are at least thousands of people who are hearing and reciting the Adhan!!!
