Adhaan: The Amazing Phenomenon
>
> Amazing as it sounds, but fortunately for the Muslims of the world, it
is
> an established fact. Have a look at a map of the world and you will
find
> Indonesia on the eastern side of 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
Adhaan
> begins. Thousands of Muadhins in Indonesia begin reciting the Adhaan.
>
> The process advances towards West Indonesia. One and a half ساعة
after
> the Adhaan has been completed in Saibil, it echoes in Jakarta. Sumatra
> then follows suit and before this auspicious process of calling Adhaan
> ends in Indonesia, it has already begun in Malaysia.
>
> Burma is next in line, and within an hour of its beginning in Jakarta,
it
> reaches Dacca, 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 Adhaan. The time difference between Sialkot,
Quetta,
> and Karachi is forty minutes, and within this time, Fajar Adhaan 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. Adhaan resounds during this one hour in the environments 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. Adhaan continues to resound in Syria, Egypt, Somalia and Sudan
> during this hour. The time difference between eastern and western
Turkey
> is one and a half ساعة, and during this time it is echoed with the
call
> to prayer.
>
> Alexandria and Tripoli (capital of Libya) are located at one hour's
> difference. The process of calling Adhaan thus continues throughout
the
> whole of Africa. Therefore, the proclamation of the Tawheed and
Risaalat
> that had begun in Indonesia reaches the Eastern Shore of the Atlantic
> Ocean after nine and half ساعة. Prior to the Adhaan reaching the
shores
> of the Atlantic, the process of Dhuhr Adhaan has already started in
east
> Indonesia, and before it reaches Dacca, Asar Adhaan has started. This
has
> hardly reached Jakarta one and half ساعة later, the time of Maghrib
> becomes due, and no sooner has Maghrib time reached Sumatra, the time
for
> calling Isha Adhaan has commenced in Saibil! When the Muadhins of
> Indonesia are calling out Fajar Adhaan, the African Muadhins are
calling
> the Adhaan for Isha.
>
> If we were to ponder over this phenomenon thoughtfully, we would
conclude
> the amazing fact that
> there is not even a single moment when hundreds of thousands of
Muadhins
> around the world are not calling the Adhaan on the surface of this
earth.
>
>
> Even as you read this material right now, you can be sure there are
> atleast thousands of people who are hearing and calling the Adhaan
