"AZAAN"
Assalam-o-Alaikum Everyone,
Amazing as it sounds, but fortunately for the Muslims of the world, it
is an established fact.
Have a look at a map of the world and you will find Indonesia on the
eastern side of the earth. The major cities of Indonesia are Java,
Sumatra, Borneo and Saibil. As soon as dawn breaks on the eastern side
of Saibil, at approximately 5:30 am local time, Fajar Aazaan begins.
Thousands of Muazzins in Indonesia begin reciting the Aazaan.
The process advances towards West Indonesia. One and a half hours after
the Aazaan has been completed in Saibil, it echoes in Jakarta. Sumatra
then follows suit and before this auspicious process of calling Aazaan
ends in Indonesia, it has already begun in Malaysia.
Burma is next in line, and within an hour of its beginning in Jakarta,
it reaches Dacca, the capital city of Bangladesh. After Bangladesh, it
has already prevailed in western India, from Calcutta to Srinagar.It
then advances towards Bombay and the environment of entire India
resounds with this proclamation. Srinagar and Sialkot (a north city in
Pakistan) have the same timing for Aazaan. The time difference between
Sialkot, Quetta, and Karachi is forty minutes, and within this
time,Fajar Aazaan is heard throughout Pakistan. Before it ends there, it
has already begun in Afghanistan and Muscat. The time difference between
Muscat and Baghdad is one hour. Aazaan resounds during this one hour in
the environments of Hijaaz-e-Muqaddas (Holy cities of Makkah and
Madinah), Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq.
The time difference between Baghdad and Alexandria in Egypt is again one
hour. Aazaan continues to resound in Syria, Egypt, Somalia and Sudan
during this hour. The time difference between eastern and western Turkey
is one and a half hours, and during this time it is echoed with the call
to prayer.
Alexandria and Tripoli (capital of Libya) are located at one hour's
difference. The process of calling Aazaan thus continues throughout the
whole of Africa. Therefore, the proclamation of the "Tawheed" and
"Risaalat" that had begun in Indonesia reaches the Eastern Shore of the
Atlantic Ocean after nine and half hours. Prior to the Aazaan reaching
the shores of the Atlantic, the process of "Zohar Aazaan" has already
started in east Indonesia, and before it reaches Dacca, "Asr Aazaan" has
started. This has hardly reached Jakarta one and half hours later, the
time of "Maghrib" becomes due, and no sooner has "Maghrib" time reached
Sumatra,the time for calling "Isha Aazaan" has commenced in Saibil!
When the Muazzins of Indonesia are calling out "Fajar Aazaan", the
African Muazzins are calling the Aazaan for Isha.
If we were to ponder over this phenomenon thoughtfully, we would
conclude the amazing fact that there is not even a single moment when
hundreds of thousands of Muazzins around the world are not reciting the
Aazaan on the surface of this earth. Even as you read this material
right now, you can be sure there are atleast thousands of people who are
hearing and reciting the Aazaan!!!
May Allah Help "U" To Succeed & May Ya Get Everything "U" Dreamed
AAMEEN
