A Response on the Beautification of the Adhan and Its Melody
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In response to the question raised by some of the brothers regarding the adhan, meaning, did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh : There is no specific method other than avoiding melodic errors.
The questioner : I mean, melodic error is a mistake.
The Shaykh : Ah, melodic error and composing melodies as well.
The questioner : What do we mean by composing melodies? Let us pause on this for a moment.
The Shaykh : Rising and falling and descending according to musical laws.
The questioner : Some people object to me on this, as if they are saying, "You are stretching out the adhan?"
The Shaykh : You are stretching it out?
The questioner : In my case?
The Shaykh : Yes, in your case?
The questioner : The meaning of stretching out... I objected to him on that and I said, "I am against the one who stretches it out."
The Shaykh : Good.
The questioner : So I want to call the adhan so that I can hear your opinion on something like this.
The Shaykh : Well done. Be patient for a moment. Have you ever heard your adhan recorded?
The questioner : I have not heard it.
The Shaykh : You must hear it.
The questioner : I said earlier that stretching out is when it is done according to specific musical beats.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The questioner : But this stretching out is what you mean, but if you prolong your voice so that it reaches the range you want, in accordance with the saying of the Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him), meaning in this sense.
The Shaykh : Or as he said, yes, that is right.
The questioner : I am saying, I prolong my voice, so is the transmission the same as stretching out?
The Shaykh : Transmission includes wireless transmission and wired transmission.
The questioner : I am saying, I prolong my voice, so is the transmission the same as stretching out?
The questioner : Did the lands that were opened up in the early days of Islam...
The Shaykh : It is not your turn yet. When it is your turn, has the report of Ibn 'Umar reached you?
The questioner : Yes, it has reached me.
The Shaykh : Explain it to me.
The questioner : But is this report traced to the Prophet?
The Shaykh : Or one like you does not correct, does not make a correction.
The questioner : No, excuse me.
The Shaykh : I am telling you, and I say, may Allah forgive us and you, ah, explain the hadith or the report to me. So if...
The questioner : ... I have previously said that they attribute things to me.
The Shaykh : If they attributed things to you, may Allah forgive them, and if they pointed out your faults to you, may Allah reward them with good. Now, when it is Asr time, let us hear your adhan, if Allah wills.
