Note from Author: Post below is outcome of Shaikh Obaid sharing some of the beauties of Adhan with me. JazakAllah Shaikh Obaid.
Adhan is
Islamic call to worship or prayer , called ‘Salaah’. Adhan is called 5 times a day, for 360 (Islamic lunar calendar) days a year- totaling approximately 1800 times a year.
Adhan starts with word ‘Allah’ ٱلله and ends with word ‘Allah’ ٱلله –
declaring the supremacy of our Creator.
In Adhan ,
word 'Allah' is repeated 11 times – it’s
the prime number and only divisible by 1
as Allah is only One.
Adhan is
called 5 times a day, and there 5 Salaahs in a day- RasulAllah SAW said you get equivalent of 10
good deeds for one good deed – so we get 50
good deeds for 5 Salaahs. And total words
in Adhan are 50.
There are 17 distinct Arabic letters used in Adhan (ا،ل،ه،ك،ب،ر،ش،د،ن،م،س،ح،ي،ع ،ص،ف،ء) , and 17 is the
total number of mandatory Rakaats in daily Salaahs. And 17 is Surah number
(Surah Isra'a) in the Quran where Allah SWT mentions about the night
journey of RasulAllah SAW (Isra'a wal Mera'aj) in which Salaah was made mandatory for us.
The most used letters in Adhan are ا،ل،ه
– they make word ٱللهAllah.
There are 12
sentences or parts in Adhan - And total letters in لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلله (There is no God but Allah), مُحَمَّدً
رَسُولُ ٱلله is 12 - and Total months in a year are 12.
