The Prayer Time Table generates the time for you.

For each day of the month and each month of the year Azan.in displays Islamic Prayer Times:

Prayer is performed five times a day:

• Faji – the morning prayer is usually said when as soon as woken up or at the break of dawn
• Sunrise – Shurooq is the time of sunrise, the time when the upper limb of the sun just starts to appear just above the horizon. This marks the end of Faji morning prayer
• Dhuhr – The Dhuhr is the prayer after midday (bit before the shadow of the sun becomes twice its length from midday.
• Asr – The Asr is the daily afternoon prayer
• Maghrib is the fourth daily salat in Islam, offered at sunset
• Isha is offered when it becomes completely dark and the night begins

Azan is recited in a loud voice by the Muezzin facing the direction of the Ka’ba in the following words, which are said in the order mentioned:

“Allahu Akbar” – recited FOUR times.

Meaning, “Allah is Most Great.”(four times)

“Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah” – recited TWO times.

Meaning, “I bear witness that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah.”(twice)

“Ash-hadu anna Muhammad-ar-Rasoolullah” – recited TWO times.

Meaning, “I bear witness that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.”(recited twice)

“Hayya ‘alas-Salah” – recited TWO times.

Meaning, “Come to prayer.”(turning the face alone to the right and saying it twice)

“Hayya ‘alal-falah” – recited TWO times.

Meaning, “Come to Success.”(turning the face alone to the left and saying it twice)

“Allahu Akbar” – recited TWO times.

Meaning, “Allah is Most Great” (face back to front and saying it two times). Morning (Fajr) Prayers

The following phrase is added after “Hayya ‘alal-falah” in the Azan of the early morning prayers:

“As-salatu khairum minannaum” – recited Two times.

Meaning, “Prayer is better than sleep” (recited two times).

 Azan is called out by the muezzin in the mosque, sometimes from a minaret, five times a day summoning Muslims for mandatory (fard) prayers (salah). There is a second call known as iqama (set up) that summons Muslims to line up for the beginning of the prayers. The main purpose behind the loud pronouncement of azan five times a day in every mosque is to make available to everyone an easily intelligible summary of Islamic belief. It is intended to bring to the mind of every believer and non-believer the substance of Islamic beliefs, or its spiritual ideology. Loudspeakers are sometimes installed on minarets for the purpose.

The azan sums up the teachings of Islam: there is no God but Allah; Muhammad is God’s Messenger; salvation is found through obedience to the Will of God, of which prayer is an important expression.

The Azan is repeated in the evening to call Muslim to the Asr prayers.

To signify the end of the day, the Maghrib call to prayers at sunset would resonate across the lands and Muslims would scurry along to perform the obligatory prayer once again with the hearts of the faithful ever longing to be once again in a congregation of fellow Muslims as they perform the salah(prayers) to Allah.

Just before one retires to bed the Isya’ call to prayer is performed for the last time which serves as the final affirmation of a Muslim’s faith in Allah before he retires to bed. Each of these moments has their own significance and meaning that would bring peace and serenity to every devout Muslim who understand it.

Finally the Azan reaffirms the initial faith which states that there is no other God except Allah and Muhammad is his messenger with the solemn recitation of the verse ” laiIlahailallah” which means in Arabic as: there is no God but Allah”

All of these phrases are recited twice to strengthen the faith and the force of the Azan itself.
