(CALLS FOR SALAAH)
ISLAMIC RULING ON ADHAN & IQAMA:

(SALAAH IS BETTER THAN SLEEP, SALAAH IS BETTER THAN SLEEP)
REPEATING THE ADHAN WITH THE CALLER:
IT IS PREFERRED TO REPEAT THE ADHAN WITH THE CALLER.
. NOTE: EXCEPT FOR “HAYYAH ‘ALAS-SALAAH” & HAYYAH ‘ALAL-FALAH”
ONE SHOULD SAY:
“LA HAWLA WA LA QUWATA ILLA BILLAH”
(THERE IS NO POWER NOR ABILITY EXCEPT BY ALLAH)

(O ALLAH, LORD OF THIS PERFECT CALL AND ESTABLISHED SALAAH, GRANT MOHAMMED INTERCESSION (TO YOU) AND HONOUR, AND RAISE HIM TO THE POSITION OF PRAISE ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, WHICH YOU PROMISED HIM).
