Saying: 'Verily, La ilaha illa Allah'


A: It is prescribed that those who hear the Iqamah are allowed to repeat the same phrases of the Iqamah, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) has ordered us to repeat what the Mu'adhin (caller to Prayer) says. (Part No. 5; Page No. 73) This is based on the fact that the Iqamah is the Adhan, and one should say after it: O Allah! Lord of this most perfect call (to Prayer) and of the Prayer that is to be established, grant our master, Muhammad, Al-Wasilah (the most superior degree in Paradise) and a rank of distinction, and resurrect him to the lauded position that You promised him. Verily, You never break a promise. However, as far as we know, there is no specific Du`a' to be said after the Iqamah and before Takbirat-ul-Ihram except the one mentioned.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
