The Adhan of the One Praying Alone and the Virtue of the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what about the one who prays?
The Shaykh:
Yes, yes, he calls the adhan even if he prays alone. Especially if he is in the open desert, for it came in the hadith that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is pleased with a man in the desert of a mountain who calls the adhan and prays. He calls the adhan even if he is alone and raises his voice in the adhan so that those around him, of the jinn and humans and the mountains, can hear it, and they testify for him on the Day of Resurrection. Yes.
The questioner:
The way of the thing.
The Shaykh:
Because the adhan is the remembrance of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. It is a symbol of Islam. It contains the exaltation of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, it contains the call to Islam, the call to prayer, and it contains the declaration of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), so it is a great remembrance.
