Complete Guide to the Adhan: Requirements, Etiquette, and Supplication After It

Every day, Muslims hear the adhan five times as a marker for the obligatory prayer times. Besides being a sacred call, the adhan is also a symbol of Islam mentioned in the Quran, Surah At-Taubah verse 3. To be valid, the adhan must be called after the prayer time has entered, except for the Fajr adhan which can be before dawn to wake people up. The muezzin must be Muslim, male, and mumayyiz (able to discern), and it's recommended to be in a state of purity and have wudu. Important etiquettes include having a sincere intention, facing the qibla, standing in a high place, and turning the head to the right when saying hayya 'alash-shalah and to the left when saying hayya 'alal-falah. The adhan recitation is pronounced slowly and clearly, loudly, starting with Allahu Akbar and ending with Laa ilaaha illallah. In the Fajr adhan, there's an extra phrase called at-tatswib "Ash-shalaatu khairun minan naum". After the adhan, it's sunnah to recite a supplication asking for wasilah for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). https://mozaik.inilah.com/ibadah/panduan-tata-cara-azan-yang-benar-dari-syarat-muazin-hingga-doa-setelah-azan
