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