15. Supplications related to the athan (the call to prayer)

 

  

 15. أذكار الأذان

 

(22) ‘One repeats just as the mu-aththin (one who calls to prayer) says, except when he says:

(i) ‘come to prayer, come to success’

instead, one should say:
(ii) ‘There is no might nor power except with Allah.’

 

 

 (22)One repeats just as the mu-aththin except in

Ĥayya `Alá Aş-Şalati

(or) Ĥayya `Alá Al-Falāĥi. say  Lā Ĥawla Wa Lā Qūwata 'Illā Bil-Lh .

 

 يقول مثل ما يقول المؤذن إلا في: (22)

(i) حي على الصلاة (أو) حي على الفلاح.

فيقول:

(ii) لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله.

(23) Immediately following the declaration of faith called by the mu-aththin, one says:
 

‘And I too bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His salve and Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as a Lord, and Muhammad as a Messenger and Islam as a religion.’

 

(23) Wa 'Anā 'Ash/hadu 'An Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā Al-Lhu Waĥdahu Lā Sharīka Lahu Wa 'Anna Muĥammadāan `Abduhu Wa Rasūluhu Rađītu Billāhi Rabbāan Wa Bimuĥammadin Rasūlāan Wa Bil-'Islāmi Dīnā.an

 

(23) وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهََ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُه ُُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ، رَضِيْتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبّا، ً وَبِمُحَمَّد ٍ رَسُوْلا, ً وَبِالإِسْلامِ دِيْنا.ً

 

(24) ‘One should then send prayers on the Prophet (S) after answering the call of the mu-aththin’.

 

  

 

 (24) يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِه ِِ مِنْ إِجَابَةِ المُؤَذِّنِ.

(25) ‘O Allah, Owner of this perfect call and Owner of this prayer to be performed, bestow upon Muhammad al-waseelah and al-fadeelah and send him upon a praised platform which You have promised him. Verily, You never fail in Your promise.’

al-waseelah: A station in paradise.

 al-fadeelah: A rank above the rest of creation.

praised platform: One in which all of creation will praise him on, in order to bring about the account quickly and be relieved from the lengthy standing or the role of intercession.

 (25) Al-Lahumma Rabba Hadhihi Ad-Da`wati At-Tāmmati Wa Aş-Şalati Al-Qā'imati 'Āti Muĥammadāan Al-Wasīlata Wa Al-Fađīlata Wa Ab`athhu Maqāmāan Maĥmūdāan Al-Ladhī Wa `Adtahu 'Innaka Lā Tukhlifu Al-Mī`ādi .

 

(25) اللَّهمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلاةِ القَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدا ً الوَسِيْلَةَ وَالفَضِيْلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَاما ً مَحْمُوْدا ً الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ، [ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ المِيْعَادِ ].

 

(26) One should also supplicate for himself during the time between the athan and the iqamah as supplication at such time is not rejected.

 

  

(26) يَدْعُو لِنَفْسِهِ بَيْنِ الأَذَانِ وَالإِقَامَةِ فَإِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ حِيْنَئِذٍ لا يُرَدُّ.
