Fariq Naik – The positive impact of the Adhaan

			And before we offer salah, there
is a call for prayer. And
		

			different religions have different
way of calling people. For
		

			example, the Jews, they use the
trumpet.
		

			As mentioned the book of Numbers,
chapter number 10 was number one,
		

			two and three. The Lord spoke to
Moses peace be upon him and told
		

			him to build two trumpets of
silver and use it to call the
		

			assembly.
		

			The Christians they use a church
well, some tribes they use a drum.
		

			But we Muslims, we use the human
voice. And this is called Adan.
		

			And the person who gives the Athan
is called as a mountain
		

			and the human voice, it is far
more melodious and soothing
		

			compared to the drums, the church
bells and the trumpets, and it has
		

			a greater impact on the human
mind. There are many non Muslims
		

			who have accepted Islam just by
hearing the Adan. It had such a
		

			great impact on their minds that
they accepted Islam.
		

			But unfortunately, in Bombay, the
advance there are not as
		

			melodious, they cause
inconvenience rather than
		

			tranquillity. So I would request
the Muslims in Bombay, that they
		

			should listen to the Adan of Mazel
haram in Makkah, that is an
		

			example of how an adult should be
like, and besides the other than
		

			being melodious and soothing, it
carries a message, but many of the
		

			non Muslims did not understand the
message of the Adan.
		

			Many non Muslims say that you
know, Emperor Akbar, he built so
		

			many monuments for the Muslims.
And during the time of the Mughals
		

			No wonder the Muslims, they
mentioned his name in the Adan
		

			five times a day.
		

			submitting it just a joke, but
many of the non Muslims, they
		

			think like this.
		

			And many of the non Muslims in the
western movies, there is a person
		

			who's dressed up in the ark gown,
who's a terrorist who's a woman
		

			and before he draws out the SWAT,
he shouts Allahu Akbar, as if
		

			Allahu Akbar is a war cry.
		

			So many non Muslims did not
understand the mess of the Adan.
		

			We need to explain to the non
Muslims we need to give the
		

			translation of the adult non
Muslims
		

			Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Allah is the
		

			Greatest Allah is the Greatest. We
are not praising Emperor Akbar. It
		

			is not a war cry, but we are
saying that Allah is the Greatest
		

			at shadow Allah Ilaha illa Allah,
I bear witness that there's no one
		

			worthy of worship except Allah
subhanaw taala I shall do under
		

			Muhammad Rasool Allah, I bear
witness that Prophet Muhammad
		

			peace be upon him is the Servant
and Messenger of Allah subhanaw
		

			taala Hi yah Allah salah, come to
prayer, halal fella, Come to
		

			success. Allahu Akbar Allahu
Akbar. Allah is the Greatest Allah
		

			is the Greatest La ilaha IL Allah,
there is no one worthy of worship
		

			except Allah subhanaw taala.
		

			So we should explain the
translation on the Adon to non
		

			Muslims to those who are unaware
of it. In fact, the Adan can be
		

			considered as a sign of unity,
		

			any Muslim from any part of the
world from any nationality from
		

			any country when he hears the
Athan, he knows that it is time to
		

			pray. In fact, the other 100 in
Arabic can be considered as an
		

			international anthem of the
Muslims.
