Before praying, especially in the
mosque, before the congregational prayer, Muslims are circumcised to echo azan
and iqamah. Azan is certain exclamation words to inform you of the inclusion of
obligatory prayer times. Whereas iqamah is words that are sung some time after
the adhan as a sign that prayer will begin. The sunnah prayers are not
recommended by the recitation of azan and iqamah. For sunnah prayers which are
generally done in congregation, such as Id prayers, simply use the appeal,
"As-Salaatul Jami'ah (Let us do prayer in congregation).
Azan and Iqamah the law of Sunnah
Muakkad for obligatory prayer, both done in congregation and alone. Recommended
in a loud voice except in the mosque that has been done (being worked on)
praying in congregation. Azan is done by standing and facing the Qiblah.
Azan is usually sung in a long
voice, tends to be elevated, and rhythmic. The following is the Azan lafadz,
Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar (2x).
Ashhadu Allaa Ilaaha Illallaah (2x). Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasuulullah (2x).
Hayya ‘Alas Solaah (2x). Hayya ‘Alal Falaah (2x). Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar.
Laa Ilaaha Illallaah. [Allah is Great, Allah is Great (2x). I testify that
there is no God but Allah (2x). I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah (2x). Let us pray (2x). Let's go to victory (2x). Allah is Great, Allah
is Great. There is no God but Allah].
In Azan the morning prayer, between
the words "Hayya‘ Alal Falaah" and "Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu
Akbar" plus the phrase "As Solaatu Khairum Minan Naum (2x)"
which means " Prayer is better than sleep ".
There are certain sunnah in calling
for the sentence of azan. When calling out the sentence "Hayya 'Alas
Solaah" is recommended turning to the right and when shouting the sentence
"Hayya ‘Alal Falaah" is recommended turning to the left.
Lafadz Iqamah is also the same as
azan. If on the azan there are sentences that are pronounced twice, then the
sentences in iqamah are enough to be said once. After the phrase "Hayya‘
Alal Falaah ", added the phrase "Qad Qaamatis Solaah" twice,
which means "Prayer has begun".
Iqamah is sung faster with a voice
that is slightly lower than the call to prayer / azan, but it should remain
with the beat. Lafadz iqamah is, "Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar. Ashhadu
Allaa Ilaaha Illallaah. Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasuulullah. Hayya ‘Alas
Solaah. Hayya ‘Alal Falaah. Qad Qaamatis Solaah (2x). Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu
Akbar. Laa Ilaaha Illallaah. [Allah is great, Allah is great. I testify that
there is no God but Allah. I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Let
us pray. Let us go to victory. Prayer has begun (2x). Allah is Great, Allah is
Great. There is no God but Allah].
I also have separate criteria for
the call to prayer and muezzin calling for a call to prayer for the Shahada
mosque (Masjid Syahadat) which is still a design that is part of the
Betterpad-Ray (Benteng Terpadu Raya / Great Integrated Fortress) model/maquette. Because
I designed this mosque as a mosque that has a large capacity of worshipers and
it is possible to come from various circles, because this is a mosque of a
complex of buildings that has extensive and varied functions. The Shahada
mosque can be used for members of the relevant institutions, employees, the
surrounding community, guests, and also for travelers. Because of the breadth
of the building complex and the possibility of being built in a strategic place
that is a place where there are many people, the audio azan installation must
be placed as well as possible. The Shahada Mosque has a mosque tower which is
also called the Shahada mosque, which at the top of the tower has loudspeakers
for azan, so that it can be heard by people inside the building complex and
outside the building complex within a certain distance.
A good and right azan is a azan that
is sung with the correct pronunciation of Arabic, with a beautiful but firm
tone so as to be able to invite people to worship immediately, the voice is
melodious, and the style is adapted to the local area. Actually, the azan style
can use a style that is more similar to the Arabic style, which we can hear
from existing electronic media. But in Indonesia there is also a style that
remains beautiful and firm. This is to show the impression of Indonesia.
Indeed, in village mosques or small, the call to prayer is sung more simply.
But for large mosques, the rhythm of the call to prayer is something that is
taken seriously. The azan which is sung in a long and rhythmic voice can show
the beauty of the religion of Islam as a peace-loving religion. It can also
show that Muslims love beauty with the sound of the call to prayer which if
sung in a melodious manner, can make everyone feel amazed.
The muezzin that announces the call
to prayer in the Shahada mosque must be a truly faithful Muslim, has extensive
religious knowledge, he is healthy, and has a good voice. Azan which is said by
good people is also good, beautiful, and able to attract people to pray in
congregation in the mosque, at least really remember the prayer time. If a
leader prays (imam) is someone who has high knowledge and is older, maybe a
muezzin doesn't have to be an old person. The young muazzin is good because it
regenerates the muezzin and is still healthy so that the breath is longer. A
muezzin must be able to pronounce the Arabic language properly and correctly,
so that the azan sentence is pronounced in accordance with the actual
intentions. Usually the muezzin announces the call to prayer on the right of
the mimbar of the mosque by using a microphone, unlike in the old days which
had to call the prayer at a higher place. In essence, the election of the
muezzin in the Shahada mosque must be done well so that it matches the
expectations.
Thus the explanation of the criteria
for the azan and muezzin at the Shahada Mosque / Masjid Syahadat is part of the
Betterpad-Ray (Benteng Terpadu Raya / Great Integrated Fortress) model/maquette, God
willing, it can be realized. Aamiin.
