azan...

Azaan: The 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 (a city in north Pakistan) 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 at least thousands of people who are hearing
and reciting the Azaan!!!
>Allah said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you."
>
>If you are not ashamed, send this message...only if you believe.
>
>"Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and my Savior. Allah
>keeps me going day and night. Without Allah, I am no one. But with Allah, I
can do everything. Allah is my strength."
>
>This is a simple test. If you love Allah and you are not ashamed of all the
great things that He has done for you, send this to everyone you know, and
the person that sent it to you.
>
>May Allah help u to succeed...Ameen
