adhan| Muslim call to worship. It is broadcast by a muezzin (caller) from the minaret of a mosque at the five times of daily prayer, nowadays usually through a loudspeaker system. |
| The adhan was given in a dream to a companion of the prophet Muhammad. Muhammad asked that it be taught to a convert to Islam, an Abyssinian freed slave called Bilal, who was then the first muezzin. |
| The words of the adhan include the shahadah (testimony). Each of its phrases is repeated twice. |
