Chapter One

Merit of the Call to Prayer (Adhan)

The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said, “On the Day of Resurrection,
three people will find themselves on a ridge of black musk. They will have no
reckoning to fear, nor any cause for alarm while human accounts are being
settled. First, a man who recites the Koran to please Allah, and who leads the
prayer to people‟s satisfaction. Secondly, a man who makes the call to prayer in
a mosque, inviting people to Allah for the sake of His good pleasure. Third, a
man who has a hard time making a living in this world, yet is not distracted from
the work of the Hereafter.”
