How to announce the Adhan

A: The Adhan is one of the great rites of Muslims. It is an act of devotion on the part of the servant to Allah (Exalted be He). Accordingly, the Mu'adhin should pronounce it in a simple and straightforward manner. He should not sing or prolong it. (Part No. 5; Page No. 56) Rather, he should call it in accordance with its rules and the etiquettes of Shari`ah (Islamic law). Indeed, mimicking the sound of another Mu'adhin when calling the Adhan was not the tradition of the early Salaf (righteous predecessors).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
