Those who Call the Adhaan

RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says that the mu`adhins will have the longest necks on the day of resurrection. [see Muslim, 4/750] That is so that they can be seen. Adhaan is the call to prayer, and that is why it carries such a big reward to it.

RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said to a Bedouin, by the name of AbdurRahmaan ibn Sa’Sa’, “I see that you love sheep and goats and the Bedouin life.” This man wasn’t very attached to city life; he wanted to live as a Bedouin with his sheep and goats in the desert. RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam continued, “If you are in the wilderness and it is time for salah, then raise your voice in adhaan because whatever hears you – whether jinns or humans or anything – will witness for you on the day of judgment.” The mountains, rocks, animals, human beings and jinns will witness for you on the Day of Judgment. You are in harmony with creation; everything is Muslim except for the corrupt jinn and the corrupt Muslim.
