Call to Prayer

The Adhan (or Athan) summons Muslims to obligatory prayer 5 times daily.

The Adhan is called from a mosque by a muadhdhin (or muezzin), often from a minaret.

The text of the Adhan opens by praising Allah. It concludes by calling the people to pray. An additional line is added to the opening of the morning call to prayer: “Prayer is better than sleep.”
