ARE YOU NON-MUSLIM? DO
YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS? |
- What
is "Azan"?
- Arabic words

- Purpose of
the Prayer:
- In the First Commandment, what is the message?
- Speciality of Azan:
Some
non-Muslims object to Azan and think that it is
a call meant for to frighten
them by gathering Muslims. Here, on this
page, the fact
about Azan is made quite clear. It is expected
of them to use their clear conscience and
guide them towards
Truth, like a sailor guides his boat or ship
towards the safety during abnormal conditions of
voyage.
Do you then try to live in the world of
fantasy and hype
created by the Ignorant? Be a guiding force for others. Swim against the tide,
in the Direction shown by God, like a live fish does.
Don't be swept away by the waves of false propaganda,
like the plight of a dead fish. Defend God Almighty
Allah's Words - Holy Qur-an and Religion Islam. He
will surely defend and protect you always. Examples
are aplenty in the Holy Qur-an and the History. Please
read Holy Qur-an and see for yourself.
People read the news papers and watch TV news and
believe without questioning what they say. But it is
the bad luck of a person, if he dislikes to hear, read
and believe Holy Qur-an's words which are from God
Almighty Allah alone. But the time may be still there,
to realize this greatest wrong done (to the self-the
soul) by a person's tiny mind. Mind's desires can destroy
both body and the soul. So don't allow your mind to
ride over you. Start to ride over your mind from today
itself. Make a practice of it, now! As they say, practice
makes a man perfect.
Then you will find out how
beautiful is the words of God. Did not Prophet Dawood
or David, gather animals
and birds when He hymned the praises of Lord Allah
(by reading the Psalms), because God had taught him
the language of the animal world? When the Holy Qur-an
is recited or being discussed, the Angels record the
names of the participants and they are enlisted with
the Highly Honorable people with God. Do you want to
miss this greatest Reward by believing some falsehood
monger's words and to satisfy such people? Is not your
own safety and well- being important to you? Do you
think that you live for the sake of others by doing
such things? Or will you think and decide of rushing
towards Allah, Who is the Only Savior and Protector
and the Guide of the Whole mankind and the Universe.
Don't you see how He only has guided stars, sun, moon,
the planets, winds, oceans, seas, rivers etc. Is there
a separate God for a street, a town, a country, house,
a room in a house, for flower, grains, fruits, trees,
mountains, oceans, rivers, streams, deserts, stars..
and so on? If that is the case then, there should be
at least 6 billion gods for 6 billion people (6 billion
tiny minds can create 6 billion gods, of their choice
and imagination, why not?). Now, before death can take
you back to Allah, and you cry before Him for not utilizing
your only golden chance to believe, obey and serve
Him and His Religion Islam, please thank Him for getting
this opportunity towards realizing your greatest mistake
and rush to read the Holy Qur-an, His Gift and Guidance
for all of us. May God guide us all on His Path and
unto success (Aameen).

:<What is Adhan?>
God Commands : <So turn thy face toward the Sacred
Mosque and (O Muslims), where so ever you may be, turn
your faces towards it> Holy Qur-an: Chapter 2: Verse
144.
The Sacred Mosque is in Makkah City and all muslims
must face towards it's direction (to the west) while
performing Salah or prayers where ever they are. All
acts and beliefs of Islam are having a definite, meaningful
background and it needs dedicated learning from the
source Books of Islam (Holy Qur-an and Hadith) to know
about them.
What is "Azan"?
You might have heard a call from the mosques (through
out the world), five times a day, regularly. The five
times of prayers are fixed by God. Dawn (Fajr), Noon
(Zuhr), Afternoon (Asr), After the Sun set (Maghrib)
and finally In The Evening (about one and a half hour
after Maghrib prayer).
Words of Azan (can be called as The International
Anthem of Muslims from Japan to America):
Arabic words of Azan Translation in English
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar (twice)
Allah is Most Great,
Allah is Most Great.
Ash-hadu Allah Ilaha Il-Allah (twice)
I bear witness
that there is no other object of worship except Allah.
Ash-hadu Anna Muhammad-ar-Rasoolullah (twice)
I
bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
Hayya Alass-Salah (twice)
Come to Prayer.
Hayya Alal Falah (twice)
Come to Success.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar (once)
Allah
is Most Great, Allah is Most Great
La-Ilaha Il-Allah
There is no other object
of worship except Allah.
Purpose of the Prayer:
It is the Command of Almighty God to Muslims who believe
in Him. He commands:
O you who believe! When the
call is sounded for prayer on Friday (The Day of
Assembly), hasten earnestly
to the Remembrance of Allah and leave off business
(and traffic): That is best for you if you but knew!
And when the prayer is ended, disperse abroad in the
land and seek of Allah's Grace and Remember Allah that
you may be successful> 62:9-10)
Those who do not pray, do they not think? Why do people
not hasten to Mosques? When you call your pet, it responds
immediately! Are they below the pets and animals but
still argue that they are the wise, advanced human
beings? But man can not run away from God's Call.
God reminds the fact <Say: "The Death from
which you flee will truly overtake you: then will you
be sent back to the Knower of things Secret and open:
and He will tell you the things that you did!> 62:
8
Then Can't we do remembrance
of Allah at our homes instead of spending the time "unnecessarily".
Those who don't pray think that the Muslims are simply
wasting the time, in the offices and during the rush
business hours. This is a great economic loss....These
Muslims seem to be blockheads! But if they see that
it is God who is commanding the people to obey Him,
then is there any other choice? When God calls a person
back to Himself from this world, by giving him death,
would he say no to the Angel of God. Would he forward
the excuses of heavy work load, business matters, appointments
with businessmen etc.?
When there is earthquake or a fire in any place, people
rush to safety to save themselves. Now if they are
called to God, do they deny to respond to go to a mosque?
When there is no room for this, responding to the prayer
call is the only option! Then do you still refuse to
rush unto God's house (Mosque) when God calls you?
That means, you refuse to enter His Heaven in the Eternal
World? Let us sort out this problem today before death
ends the chance to realize the truth from God and make
reforms for good.
In the First Commandment, what is the message?
"And behold, one came and said unto him (Jesus), "Good
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have
eternal life?" And he said unto him, why callest
thou me good? There is none good but One, that is,
God: But if thou wilt enter into life keep the Commandments" (Mathew
19: 16-17).
"And the Lord spoke unto Moses,
saying, make the two trumpets of silver... that thou
mayest use
them for the calling of the assembly.... And when they
shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation." (Numbers 10:1- 3).
Speciality of Azan:
Have you noticed that when the Azan is announced,
the dogs start barking abnormally? Do you see the difference
of it's barking when it barks on seeing it's master
and a stranger (who tries to enter your property) and
when the Azan is said? The Dog barks differently on
these three occasions. Did you ever observe this?
Answer : Final Prophet Muhammad
informed us (by the knowledge given to him by God
Almighty Allah) : <<When
the Azan is said, Satan takes to his heels and while
fleeing breaks wind noisily so as not to hear the call
being made. When the Azan is complete, he turns round
and again runs away when the Iqamah is sounded. On
the completion of the Iqamah, he returns to whisper
into the heart of man (the worshipper of Allah) to
distract his attention; he calls to minds things that
cause him to forget how much he has prayed (completed
the prayer and how much is balance)>
Syedena Muhammad - The Last
Messenger and Prophet of Allah - said : When you
hear a donkey braying or
a dog barking, say : <<Awuzu Billahi Minash-shaytanir
Rajeem>> which means : <I seek Refuge in Allah
from Satan, the Outcast; for it brays when it sees
the Satan. When you hear a cock crow, seek the Bounty
of Allah because it crows when it sees the Angel (Hadith
narrated by Abu Huraira, the Noble Companion of the
Prophet Muhammad-peace be upon him- as recorded in
the Hadith Books of Bukhari and Muslim).
If you add together the above two Ahadith (plural
of Hadith or the Sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad),
we can understand this: That when a dog barks, he must
have seen Satan. When the Azan is announced and the
Satan starts fleeing, immediately the dog starts barking
quite abnormally and feverishly because of the scene
it is able to see. The animals are not created for
a test. So God gave them some knowledge of the things
hidden from our eyes.
When the kids see some snake or an abnormal thing,
they start shouting and become quite restless. We would
be astonished at this and when we find out why they
have been doing this, we will understand the cause
of their anxiety.
Though God Almighty Allah has given them the power
to see the hidden world which we are unable to see
but they don't have power to announce them to us as
they He didn't give them such a power. But God sent
us for a test and as you know, in the examination (test)
center, when the question paper is given, answer books
are kept away and closed so that you can not use them
and pass the test. Then there is no meaning in the
purpose of testing.
But God informed us through His Prophets, all the
required in formation to us, to be successful in this
test and be saved from the calamities and dangers of
this world and in the Eternal world and get the Salvation
there.
