The Correct Pronunciation of the Words of the Azaan<\/strong><\/p>\n

When calling out the azaan, one should try to pronounce all the words correctly. In this regard, some of the important points to bear in mind are:<\/p>\n

1. When reciting \u0627\u064e\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f \u0623\u064e\u0643\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0631\u0652 \u0627\u064e\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f \u0623\u064e\u0643\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0631\u0652<\/span>, the letter \u0631<\/span> (raa)<\/em>in the first \u0623\u064e\u0643\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0631\u0652<\/span> (akbar)<\/em>\u00a0can be read with\u00a0a\u00a0sukoon\u00a0(\u0640\u0640\u0652\u0640) without joining it to the word \u0627\u064e\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f\u00a0 (Allah<\/em>u<\/em>)<\/em>, or\u00a0with a\u00a0fat-hah\u00a0(\u0640\u0640\u064e\u0640) by joining it to the word\u00a0\u0627\u064e\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f<\/span>\u00a0 (Allahu)<\/em>. To read it in any other way (with a dhammah \u0640\u0640\u064f\u0640 or kasrah \u0640\u0640\u0650\u0640 ) is against the\u00a0sunnah.[1]<\/sup><\/p>\n

2. When reciting \u0623\u064e\u0634\u0652\u0647\u064e\u062f\u064f \u0623\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u0625\u0650\u0644\u0670\u0647\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0652<\/span>, the word \u0623\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0627<\/span> (al-laa) should be pronounced with an empty mouth. Furthermore, the tashdeed (\u0640\u0640\u0651\u0640) on the letter \u0644 (laam) should not be over-emphasised by stretching the sound of the \u0644 (laam).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0sukoon (\u0640\u0640\u0652\u0640)\u00a0on the letter \u0634<\/span> (sheen)\u00a0should be clearly pronounced followed by the \u0647\u0640<\/span> (haa). One should not omit the sukoon and haa \u0647\u0640 (haa) by joining the \u0647\u0640<\/span> (haa) to the \u0634<\/span> (sheen) saying\u00a0\u201cashadu\u201d\u00a0without pronouncing the\u00a0\u0647\u0640 <\/span>(haa) at all. Rather, the correct way of pronouncing it is \u201cash-ha-du\u201d.<\/p>\n

3. When reciting \u0623\u064e\u0634\u0652\u0647\u064e\u062f\u064f \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u0651\u064e\u062f\u064b\u0627 \u0631\u0651\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0652<\/span>, the word \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e<\/span>(anna) should not be over-emphasised by stretching the sound of the \u0646<\/span> (noon) for longer than the duration of a ghunnah. Similarly, the tashdeed (\u0640\u0640\u0651\u0640) in the letter \u0645 (meem) and \u0631<\/span> (raa) should not be over-emphasized by stretching them.<\/p>\n

4. When reciting \u062d\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u0670\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0629\u0652<\/span>, the tashdeed (\u0640\u0640\u0651\u0640) on the letter \u064a <\/span>(yaa) in the word \u062d\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064e<\/span> (hayya) should be read completely. The \u064a<\/span> (yaa) should not be read without the tashdeed (\u0640\u0640\u0651\u0640) by saying \u201chaya\u201d instead of \u201chayya\u201d. Likewise, the letter \u0639<\/span> (ain) in the word \u0639\u0644\u0649<\/span> (ala) should be pronounced clearly.<\/p>\n

When stopping at the end of the word \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0629\u0652<\/span> (salaah),\u00a0the\u00a0\u0629<\/span> (taa) will be read with a\u00a0sukoon\u00a0(\u0640\u0640\u0652\u0640) and thus produce the sound of a\u00a0\u0647\u0640<\/span> (haa). One will not pronounce the\u00a0\u0629<\/span> (taa)\u00a0by saying\u00a0hayya alas salaat<\/u><\/strong>.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Similarly, one should ensure that the sound does not resemble that of a big\u00a0haa (\u062d)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

5. When reciting \u062d\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u0670\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u062d\u0652<\/span>, when stopping at the word \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u062d\u0652<\/span> (falaah), ensure that the \u062d<\/span> (haa) is pronounced correctly by saying it as a big \u062d<\/span> (haa), not as a small \u0647\u0640.<\/p>\n
