17 different Athan (Adhan) recitations in MP3 format

 

The Adhan ( Athan ) beautifully sums up the teachings of Islam. If we study the Holy Quran ( Qu'ran ) and the sunnah we will find that there are four fundementals on which the entire superstructure of Islam rests: (a) Belief in the oneness of Allah and in the fact that there is no Power greater than Him; (b) he alone is the Creator and the Master of the universe and no one other can claim share in His Godhood of sovereignty; (c) Muhammad (peace be unto him) is the final dispenser of the Will of Allah and it is his words and deeds that His will finds expression; (c) it is not the material utility that determines tha value of things or acts in Islam but their spiritual significance - thus salvation in Islam lies in the purification of the soul which can be achieved only by willing and conscious obedience to the Commands of Allah, and prayer is the most important of that obedience; (d) the highest aim of the life of a Muslim is to live a life of a eternal bliss. Ref. [4]

"Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When the Mu'adhdhin (the one who recites athan ( adhan ) ) calls to prayer, Satan runs back vehemently" ( Imam Muslim [ 389R1] rendered into English by Abdul hamid Siddiqi )

Looking into the character of the contents of Adhan (Athan), it becomes apperant that the teachings of Quran (Qu'ran) and the sunnah have been beautifully summed up in Adhan (Athan). If a person were to read and listen to nothing but Adhan ( Athan ) and grasp its meaning, he could understand all essentials of the Faith. The main purpose behind the loud pronouncement of Adhan ( Athan ) five times a day in every mosque is to make available to everyone and easily intelligible brief version of Islam. it is intented to bring to the mind of every believer and non believer the substance of Islamic beliefs, or its spritual ideology, as well as his/her goal in life and programme of righteous living.
