Azaan: An Amazing Phenomenon!

 Azaan: An Amazing Phenomenon! 

 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 Azaan begins. Thousands of Muazzins in Indonesia begin reciting the  Azaan.  The process advances towards West Indonesia. One and a half hours after the Azaan has  been completed in Saibil, it echoes in Jakarta. Sumatra then follows suit and before  this auspicious process of calling Azaan 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 have the same timing for Azaan. The time difference between  Sialkot, Quetta, and Karachi is forty minutes, and within this time, Fajar Azaan 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. Azaan 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. Azaan  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 Azaan 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 Azaan  reaching the shores of the Atlantic, the process of Zohar Azaan has already started in  east Indonesia, and before it reaches Dacca, Asar Azaan 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 Azaan has commenced  in Saibil! When the Muazzins of Indonesia are calling out Fajar Azaan, the African  Muazzins are calling the Azaan 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 Azaan 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 Azaan!!!
