Adhan-An Amazing Discovery..................!!!?

Azan : An incredible medium for the proclamation of Tawheed of the Almighty ALLAH ta’ala & Risalat of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the sound of which echoes around the globe. Amazing though it sounds, but fortunately for the Muslims of the world, it is an established fact.
Have a look at a map of the world & you will find Indonesia [a Muslim country] right on the eastern side of the earth’s central land mass. Indonesia consists of many numerous islands, the principle ones being Java, Sumatra, Borneo & Celebes, all of which are well known. It is the largest Muslim country in the world with 180 million inhabitants.
As soon as dawn breaks on the eastern island of Celebes, at approximately 5.30 am local time, Fajr Azan begins.Thousands of Mu’azzins in eastern Indonesia commence proclaiming the Tawheed [Oneness] of the Almighty, Omnipotent and Omniscient ALLAH ta’ala and Risalat [Universal Apostleship] of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
The process then continues & advances towards the western islands of Indonesia. The time difference between the eastern & western islands of Indonesia in one & a half hrs. Hence, one & a half hrs after the echoes has been completed in Celebes, it echoes in Jakarta & Java island. Sumatra then follows suit & before this auspicious process of calling Azan ends in Indonesia, it has already begun in Malaysia. Burma is then next in line, & within an hr of its commencement in Jakarta, it reaches Dacca, the capital of Bangladesh. No sooner the calling of Azan ends in Bangladesh, it has already prevailed in western India, from Calcutta to Luknow. It then advances towards to Bombay & the environment of entire India resounds with this glorious proclamation.
Srinagar & Sialkot [a city in north Pakistan] have the same timing for Azan. The difference between Sialkot, Kota, Karachi & Gowadar [a city in Baluchistan, a province of Pakistan] is forty minutes, & within this time, Fajr Azan is heard throughout Pakistan. Before it ends in Pakistan, it has already begun in Afghanistan and Muscat. The time difference between Muscat & Baghdad is one hour. Azan resounds during this one hour in the environments of Hijaz-e-Muquaddas, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait & Iraq.
The time difference between Baghdad & Alexandra in Egypt is again one hour. Azan continues to resound in Syria, Jordan Saudi Arabia, Somalia & Sudan during this hour. Alexandria & Istanbul [the principal city of Turkey] are situated on the same geographical longitude. The time difference between eastern & western Turkey in one & half hours, & during this time it is echoed with the call to prayer. Alexandra & Tripoli [the capital of Libya] are located at an hour’s difference from one another. It continues into Algiers, Tunis, Rabat & Marrakech. The process of calling Azan thus continues throughout the whole of Africa.
There4 the proclamation of the Oneness of ALLAH ta’ala and the Apostleship of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that had begun in the eastern islands of Indonesia reaches the eastern shores of the Atlantic ocean after 9 hrs. Prior to the Azan reaching the shores of the Atlantic, the process of Zuhr Azan has already commenced in eastern Indonesia, & before it reaches Dacca, Asr Azan has started. This has hardly reached Jakarta, one & a half hrs later, then the time for Maghrib becomes due & no sooner has Mahgrib time reached Sumatra, then the time for Isha Azan has commenced in Celebes! When the Mu’azzins of Indonesia are calling out Fajr Azan, the Mu’azzins in Africa are calling out the Azan for Isha.
If we ponder over this phenomenon seriously, we can only conclude the amazing fact that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Mu’azzins around the world are always proclaiming the Oneness of Almighty ALLAH ta’ala and the Apostleship of the noble Prophet (SAW) Insha’ALLAH ta’ala, this universal & continuos calling of the Azan shall continue until the Day of Judgement. Ameen.
All praise be to ALLAH ta’ala. Taken from Riyadh ul Jannah [translated by Hafiz Ghulam Muhammad Bora].
