Azaan around the world

[amma]

Amazing as it sounds, but fortunately for the Muslims of the


world, it is an established fact.


Have a look at a map of the world and you will find Indonesia on


the eastern side of the earth. The major cities of Indonesia are Java,


Sumatra, Borneo and Saibil. As soon as dawn breaks on the eastern side of Saibil,


at approximately 5:30 am local time, Fajar Aazaan begins.


Thousands of Muazzins in Indonesia begin reciting the Aazaan.


The process advances towards West Indonesia. One and a half hours


after the Aazaan has been completed in Saibil, it echoes in Jakarta. Sumatra


then follows suit and before this auspicious process of calling Aazaan


ends in Indonesia, it has already begun in Malaysia.


Burma is next in line, and within an hour of its beginning in


Jakarta, it reaches Dacca, the capital city of Bangladesh. After Bangladesh,


it has already prevailed in western India, from Calcutta to Srinagar.It


then advances towards Bombay and the environment of entire India


resounds with this proclamation. Srinagar and Sialkot (a north city in Pakistan)


have the same timing for Aazaan. The time difference between Sialkot,


Quetta, and Karachi is forty minutes, and within this time,Fajar Aazaan is


heard throughout Pakistan. Before it ends there, it has already begun in


Afghanistan and Muscat. The time difference between Muscat and


Baghdad is one hour.


Aazaan resounds during this one hour in the environments


of Hijaaz-e-Muqaddas (Holy cities of Makkah and Madinah), Yemen,


United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq.


The time difference between Baghdad and Alexandria in Egypt is


again one hour. Aazaan continues to resound in Syria, Egypt, Somalia and


Sudan during this hour. The time difference between eastern and western Turkey


is one and a half hours, and during this time it is echoed with the call to


prayer.


Alexandria and Tripoli (capital of Libya) are located at one


hour's difference. The process of calling Aazaan thus continues


throughout the whole of Africa. Therefore, the proclamation of the "Tawheed" and


"Risaalat" that had begun in Indonesia reaches the Eastern Shore of the


Atlantic Ocean after nine and half hours. Prior to the Aazaan reaching the shores


of the Atlantic, the process of "Zohar Aazaan" has already started in


east Indonesia, and before it reaches Dacca, "Asr Aazaan" has started.


This has hardly reached Jakarta one and half hours later, the time of


"Maghrib" becomes due, and no sooner has "Maghrib" time reached Sumatra,the


time for calling "Isha Aazaan" has commenced in Saibil!


When the Muazzins of Indonesia are calling out "Fajar Aazaan", the


African Muazzins are calling the Aazaan for Isha.


If we were to ponder over this phenomenon thoughtfully, we would


conclude the amazing fact that there is not even a single moment when


hundreds of thousands of Muazzins around the world are not reciting the Aazaan


on the surface of this earth. Even as you read this material right now,


you can be sure there are atleast thousands of people who are hearing and


reciting the Aazaan!!!
