Guide to Raising the Face to the Sky in the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Al-Mutnash said in *Zad al-Mustaqni*, in the chapter on the adhan, that one should raise his face to the sky throughout it, because it is the reality of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Is there any evidence or report regarding this? And what is the authenticity of its establishment? May Allah grant you success. Raising the face to the sky, or the finger to the sky, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, is a sign of the Highness, a sign of the Highness.
Answer:
No, because it is the qiblah (direction of prayer) of the caller; rather, it is a sign of the Highness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). They say it is because it makes the voice more resonant, more resonant, when he raises his face. If he were to lower his face, it would help in raising the voice, but there is no signification in that. Yes.
