Answer 1

Yes but with the exception of Fajjar in which Al SALAT UL KHAIR U MI NNUN NOOM aded by UMer may allah be pleased with him.

Answer 2

after the construction of the mosq the sahaba were all in disputs  about how to call pple to prayer. so many sahaba had dreams about the adhaan like omer (ra) had the dream many others had same dreams and prophet SAW liked the idea and so he SAW aproved it.

is it different? no, it's the same. the only difference is that now the mosques use microphones which the sahaba did not.

is it a bida' no. there was a dispute earlier in mecca that is use of mike a bida' or can it be used? this dispute was solved by moulana abu ala moudoodi. and he said it's not a bida'.

and no one can say that it's a bida'. who ever says that it's a bida' have lost their minds. cuz the prophet travelled on camels. is useing of airplanes, cars etc a bida? no!

Answer 3

yes same as it was 1400 year back

all changes in azan made by balervi shia and qadyani  they are non muslim but they think they are muslim  

Answer 4

yes

agree with Mintee saying right

Answer 5

Azan of Todays Muslim{sunni] is same as that during Prophet's[p.b.u.h] Life.

There are three ways to make the azhan:

-1- Make four takbir at the beginning and say the rest of the phrases twice, without any repetition, except for the last statement of la illaha illa-lah. So, the azhan would be made up of fifteen phrases, as in the preceding hadith of 'Abdullah.

-2- Make four takbir and then repeat ashhadu an la ilaha illal-lah, twice, and ashhadu anna Muhammad ar-Rasool-lal-lah twice, in a low voice, then repeat them again in a louder voice. Abu Mahzhura reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, taught him an azhan consisting of nineteen phrases. This hadith is related by "the five." At-Tirmizhi called it hassan sahih.

-3- Make two takbir and repeat the "statements of witness," making the number of phrases seventeen. Muslim records that Abu Mahzhurah related that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, taught him the following azhan: Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Ashhadu alla ilaha illal-lah, ashhadu alla ilaha illal-lah. Ashhadu anna Muhammad ar-Rasool-lal-lah, ashhadu anna Muhammad ar-Rasool-lal-lah. Then repeat ashhadu alla ilaha illal-lah (twice), ashhadu anna Muhammad ar-Rasool-lal-lah (twice), hayya 'alas-salah (twice), hayya 'alal-falah (twice). Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. La ilaha illal-lah. "

There are three ways to perform the iqamah:

-1- Saying the first takbir four times and everything else twice, with the exception of the last statement of la ilaha illal-lah. Abu Mahzhura said that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, taught him the iqamah consisting of seventeen phrases: Allahu akbar (4 times), ashhadu alla ilaha illal-lah (twice), ashhadu anna Muhammad arRasool-lal-lah (twice), hayya 'alas-salah (twice), hayya 'alal-falah (twice), qad qaamatis-salah (twice), Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. La ilaha illal-lah. This is related by "the five." At-Tirmizhi grades it

-2- To say the beginning and ending takbir, and the phrase qad qaamatus-salah twice. Everything else is to be said once, making eleven phrases. This is based on the preceding hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Zaid: "When you stand for the prayer, say "Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Ashhadu alla illaha illal-lah, ashhadu anna Muhammad ar-RasoolAllah. Hayya 'alas-salah, hayya 'alal-falah. Qad qaamat-issalah, qad qaamatis-salah. Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. La illaha illal-lah.

-3- The same as in the preceding, but Qad qaamatus-salah is said only once, making a total of ten phrases. Imam Malik chose this way, because he found the people of Madinah performing it thus. But says Ibn al-Qayyim, "It is not proven that the Messenger of Allah ever said 'Qad qaamatus-salah' only once." Ibn 'Abdul-Barr is of the view, "In every case, it is said twice."

Answer 6

Well i wud Say Yes !

Sunnis state that the adhan was not written or said by Prophet Muhammad, but by one of his Sahabah (his companions), a freed Ethiopian slave by the name of Bilal ibn Rabah. However, Prophet Muhammad did choose adhan as the Islamic call to prayer in place of the bells used in Christianity and horns used by Jews.

s**+'a sources state that it is Muhammad who, according to God's command, ordered the adhan as a means of calling Muslims to prayer. s**+'a Islam teaches that no one else contributed, or had any authority to contribute, towards the composition of the adhan.

As an extension of the reforms brought about by the establishment of the Republic in 1923, the Turkish government at the time, encouraged by Ataturk, wished to make faith more understandable and less confusing to the general public by allowing them to practice faith in their native language.

Shia add the Following into the Azan !

حي علی خير العمل Hayya 'alā Khair al-'amal Make haste towards the best thing

Answer 7

This is one of the Hadith on the subject:

Sahih Muslim, Book 004, Hadith Number 0748.

------------------------------

Chapter : The Holy Prophet refrained from attacking people living in Dar al-Kufr on bearing Adhan from them.

'Umar b. al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When the Mu'adhdhin says: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and one of you should make this response: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; (and when the Mu'adhdhin) says: I testify that there is no god but Allah, one should respond: I testify that there is no god but Allah, and when he says: I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, one should make a response: I testify that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger. When he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: Come to prayer, one should make a response: There is no might and no power except with Allah. When he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: Come to salvation, one should respond: There is no might and no power except with Allah, and when he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, then make a response: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. When he (the Mu'adhdhin) says: There is no god but Allah, and he who makes a response from the heart: There is no god but Allah, he will enter Paradise.

Answer 8

Azan is something that remains as it is and it is one of the few things Salaf Saliheen would recognize if seen our Islam today.

Answer 9

well the only difference is that today they use microphones and recordings in place of actual real voice that is yelled from atop the tower...

Answer 10

Muslim who are just saying yes I have a question. Where is your evidence? Is there any Hadith references to suggest the Azan (call to prayer) has remained the same? If not then you are making false assumptions are you not?

If anyone has any Hadith references please cite them.

Dhul Quranyn - Thank you for the reference.
