Adhan for the prayer- 'பாங்கு' முழங்கி தொழுகைக்கு அழைத்தல்.

'பாங்கு' முழங்கி  தொழுகைக்கு அழைத்தல்.
தொழுகைக்கு அழைக்க பாங்கு முழங்க வேண்டும் என்று முடிவு செய்த பொழுது அப்பாங்கை முதன் முதலில் முழங்கியவர் பிலால் (ரலி). மதீனாவில் புகழ்பெற்ற மஸ்ஜிதுன் நபவியில் ஐந்து வேளை தொழுகைகளுக்கும் பாங்கு சொல்லும் பாக்கியம் பெற்றவர் பிலால் (ரலி). அதனால்தான் இன்றும் பள்ளி வாசல்களில் பாங்கு சொல்பவருக்கு பிலால் என்று பெயர்.



Narrated Ibn Umar:

When the Muslims arrived at Medina, they used to assemble for the prayer, and used to guess the time for it. During those days, the practice of Adhan for the prayers had not been introduced yet. Once they discussed this problem regarding the call for prayer. Some people suggested the use of a bell like the Christians. Others proposed a trumpet like the horn used by the Jews. But Umar was the first to suggest that a man should call the people for the prayer; so Allah’s messenger ordered Bilal to get up and pronounce the Adhan for prayers. Bukhari Book 1 Hadith 578

According to the Abu Hanifah and Ahmad Ibn Hanbal Schools of Thought the Adhan is as follows:

    Allahu Akbar (four times aloud)
    Ash-hadu an laa illaaha illallah (twice aloud)
    Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasuloolullah (twice aloud)
    Hiyah ala Salaah (twice aloud)
    Hiyah ala Falah (twice aloud)
    Allahu Akbar (twice aloud)
   Azan is recited in a loud voice by the Muezzin facing the direction of the Ka'ba in the following words, which are said in the order mentioned:


"Allahu Akbar" - recited FOUR times.

Meaning, "Allah is Most Great."(four times)

"Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah" - recited TWO times.

Meaning, "I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah."(twice)

"Ash-hadu anna Muhammad-ar-Rasoolullah" - recited TWO times.

Meaning, "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah."(recited twice)

"Hayya 'alas-Salah" - recited TWO times.
