The Adhan, or the Islamic call to prayer, is one of Allah’s wonderful calls bestowed on every Muslim. It shows the time of the precessory prayer and calls on the faithful to communicate with their creator. One recommended practice concerning the Adhan is to say certain dua after its recitation, which has a lot of merit.
This guide will discuss the dua said after performing the Adhan, its meaning in Arabic and English, and the reason why this dua is very important to any Muslim.
What Is the Adhan?
The Adhan is an actual call to prayer made by the Muadhin (caller) to let people know it is time to offer salah (prayer). In this case, it acts as a call to basket and pray in a crowded world where people are busy with normal routines. The Adhan is a reminder and an act of joining in faith comparable to all communities.
The Dua After Adhan
Whenever the Mu’adhin finishes the Adhan, the Muslims must recite certain congregational prayers recommended by the prophet Prophet (S.A.W).
1. Arabic Text
2. Transliteration
“Bismillaahir Rahmanir Raheem. O Allah! Lord of this mighty and continuous invitation, and the standing Salat, grant Muhammad the Intercession and the Excellence and raise him to that honorable station Thou hast promised him.”
3. English Translation
‘Oh Allah, Lord of this perfect call, and the established prayer, make Muhammad the intercessor and the favored one, and exalt him to the station You have guaranteed for him.’
Rewards of Reciting the Dua After Adhan
The Prophet Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasized the rewards of reciting this dua:
“Whoever says this dua after hearing the Adhan, my intercession will be permitted for him on the Day of Judgment.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 614)
Intercession (شَفَاعَة) is derived from it and is the permission of Allah where the Prophet Prophetwed to intercede in favor of the believers on the Day of Judgement.
Sunan of How to Respond to the Adhan
Repeat the Words of the Mu’adhin:

“La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah”
(There is no power and no strength except with Allah)
Recite the Dua After the Adhan:
- After the Adhan has been recited, say this dua with total belief and concentration.
Send Salawat on the Prophet Prophet (peace be upon him):
- Before reciting the dua, send blessings upon the Prophet Prophetng:
“Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammadin.”
