The Adhan for the One Praying Alone in the Wilderness and the Virtue of the Adhan

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh. Peace and prayer.

The Shaykh:
Yes, yes, the adhan is called even if he prays alone. Especially if he is in the wilderness, for it is reported in the hadith that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is pleased with a man in the wilderness of a mountain who calls the adhan and prays. He calls the adhan even if he is alone and raises his voice for 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:
All right.

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.
