MV: The Adhan is a very simple but very powerful thing. It’s main reason is to call people to prayer or remind them that it is time for prayer. The word Adhan means call to prayer and the person who gives the Adhan or calls it is called the Muadhan. The Adhan is a very short procedure and it is easy to learn. Here is the text of the Adhan. After the Adhan is said there is a Dua that follows. Another thing about Adhan is that the Fajr Prayer has an extra verses. After the forth verse الصلاة خير من النوم” is added.
