azan. the amazing phenomenon



Amazing as it sounds, but fortunately
for the Muslims
of the world, it is an established
fact. Have a lookat
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 Azaan
begins. Thousands of Muazzins in
Indonesia begin
reciting the Azaan. The process
advances towards West
Indonesia. One and a half hours after
the Azaan has
been completed in Saibil, it echoes in
Jakarta.
Sumatra then follows suit and before
this auspicious
process of calling Azaan 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 city in north Pakistan)have the
same timing for
Azaan. The time difference between
Sialkot, Quetta,and
Karachi is forty minutes, and within
this time, Fajar
Azaan 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. Azaan
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. Azaan
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 Azaan
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 Azaan reaching the shores
of the
Atlantic, the process of Zohar Azaan
has already
started in east Indonesia, and before
it reaches
Dacca, Asar Azaan 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
Azaan has commenced
in Saibil!

When the Muazzins of Indonesia are
calling out Fajar
Azaan, the African Muazzins are
calling the Azaan 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 Azaan on the surface of
this earth. Even
as you read this aterial right now,
you can be sure
there are atleast thousands of people
who are hearing
and reciting the Azaan!!!

Allah said, "If you are ashamed of me,
I will be
ashamed of you." If you are not
ashamed, please send
this message...

"Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my
fountain of Life and
My Savior. Allah keeps me going day
and night. Without
Allah, I am no one. But with Allah, I
can do
everything. Allah is my strength."
Hamba Allah,

Allahu Akbar!!
