 Bismillah irRahman irRaheem
In the Name of Allaah, The Most Gracious, The Most Kind Amazing as it sounds, but forunately for the Muslims of th world, it is an established fact. Have a look at a map of the world and you will find Indonesia on the eastern side on the earth. The major cities of Indonesia are Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Saibil. As soon as dawn breaks on the eastern side of Saibil, at approximately 5.30 am local time, Fajar Azaan begins. Thousands of Muazzins in Indonesia begin reciting the Azzan. The process advances towards West Indonesia. One and a half hours after the azzan has been completed in Saibil, it echoes in Jakarta. Sumatra then follows suit and before this auspicious process of calling azza ends in Indonesia, it has alreday begun in Malaysia. Burma is next in line, and within an hour of its beginning in Jakarta, it reaces Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. After Bangladesh, it has already prevailed in Western India, from Calcutta to Srinagar. It then advances towards Bombay and the environment of entire India resounds with this proclamation. Srinagar and Sialkot( a city in north Pakistan) have the same timing for Azaan. The time difference between Sialkot, Quetta and Karachi is forty minutes, and withing this time, fajar Azaan is heard throughout Pakistan. Before it ends there, it has already begun in Afghanistan and Muscat. The time difference between Muscat and Baghdad is one hour. Azaan resounds during this one hour in the environemnts of Hijaaz-e-Muqaddas ( Holy cities of Makkah and Madinah), Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq.
The time difference between Baghdad and Alexandria in Egypt is again one hour. Azaan continues to resound in Syria, Egypt, Somalia and Sudan during this hopur. The time difference between eastern and western Turkey is one and half hours, and during this time is it echos with the call to prayer. Alexandria and Tripoli ( capital of Libya) are located at one hour's difference. The process of calling Azzan thus continues throughout the whole of Africa. Therefore, the proclamation of the Tawheed and Risaalat that had begun in Indonesia raches the Eastern shore of the Atlantic Ocean after nice and half hours. Prior to the Azaan reaching the shores of the Atlantic, the process of Zohar Azaan has already started in east Indonesia, and before it reaches Dhaka, Asar Azaan has started. This has hardly reached Jakarta one and half hours later, the time of Maghrib becomes due, and no sooner has Maghrib time reached Sumatra, the time for calling Isha Azaan has commenced in Saibil. When the Muazzins of Indonesia are calling out Fajar Azaan, the African Muazzins are calling the Azaan for Isha. If we were to ponder over this phenomenon thoughtfully, we would conclude the amazing fact that there is not even a singel moment when hundreds of thousands of Muazzins around the world are not reciting the Azaan on the surface of this earth. Even as you reading this right now, you can be sure there are at least thousands of people who are hearing and reciting the Azaan!! SubhanAllah. forwarded email.
