who gives the call for prayer in islam
Adhan The muezzin (Arabic: مُؤَذِّن mu'aḏḏin)–is the person who recites the adhan from the mosque. Typically in modern times, this is done using a microphone: a recitation that is consequently broadcast to the speakers usually mounted on the higher part of the mosque's minarets, thus calling those nearby to prayer. The Mu'adhan is chosen for his talent and ability in reciting the adhan beautifully, melodiously and loudly for all Muslims to hear. This is one of the important duties in the mosque, as his companions and community rely on him in his call for Muslims to come to pray in congregation. The Imam leads the prayer five times a day. The first muezzin in Islam was Bilal Ibn Rabah, a freed slave from Africa.[4][page needed] Adhan from Mecca
As-salamu alaykum As-salāmu ʿalaykum (Arabic: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ‬‎ [asːaˈlaːmu ʕaˈlajkum]) is a greeting in Arabic that means "peace be upon you". The greeting is a standard salutation among Muslims, whether socially or within worship and other contexts. [1] The typical response to the greeting is wa ʿalaykumu s-salām (وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَام‬) "and upon you be peace".
