Dua After Adhan (Azan) in Arabic, English and Hadith

After hearing the call to prayer, saying a dua after adhan and making your dua could be like a magic door to good things happening – like getting help, blessings, and good stuff. People often forget about it, but this prayer is super powerful. It’s the best one to say because it’s connected to the call for prayer before we start praying.

This special time has a big value, making it really amazing. It’s a bit like a secret code that, if you use it after the call to prayer, can make your toughest wishes come true.

It’s like the call to prayer is a signal, and if you pray right after that, it’s like the perfect time to get what you wish for. The Messenger of Allah, may peace be upon him, even told us it’s a great idea to be careful and take advantage of this awesome chance by making dua at this time.

Dua After Azan in Arabic

It is recommended to say this prayer right after answering the Azan;

وَأَنَا أَشَْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبَّاً وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رِسُولاً وَبِالإِْسلاَمِ دِيناً

Transliteration: Wa ‘anaa ‘ash-hadu ‘an laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu wa ‘anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasooluhu, radhitu billaahi Rabban, wa bi-Muhammadin Rasoolan wa bil’islaami deenan.

Meaning In English: And I also bear witness that there is no deity has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad (peace be upon him) as my Messenger and with Islam as my religion.

Hadith Text

Sa’d b. Abu Waqqas reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If anyone says on hearing the Mu’adhdhin: I testify that there is no god but Allah alone.

Who has no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, (and that) I am satisfied with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad as Messenger. and with Islam as din (code of life), his sins would be forgiven. In the narration transmitted by Ibn Rumh the words are:” He who said on hearing the Mu’adhdhin and verity I testify.” ‘ Qutaiba has not mentioned his words:” And I.”

Sahih Muslim 386

Sheikh Ibn Uthaimeen said, we become eligible for the intercession of the Prophet SAW when we ask Allah to bless him and grant him Al- Wasilah; that is, we become one of those entitled to his intercession.

In addition, the Ummah of Muhammad beseech Allah for it after every Adhan, and the supplication between the Adhan and Iqaamah is never rejected.

Even if you are reciting the Qur’an, pause in order to respond to the Mu’adhdhin and continue with your recitation after completion of the Adhan.

If a person is answering the call of nature, that is, he is urinating or defecating when the Muadhdhin is pronouncing the Adhan, he should not respond to the Muadhdhin because this is remembrance of Allah.

However, when you finish and come out of the toilet, you should respond to the Muadhdhin.

What To Say While Hearing Adhan

Abdullah b. Amr b. al-As reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When you hear the Mu’adhdhin, repeat what he says, then invoke a blessing on me, for everyone who invokes a blessing on me will receive ten blessings from Allah;

then beg from Allah al-Wasila for me, which is a rank in Paradise fitting for only one of Allah’s servants, and I hope that I may be that one. If anyone who asks that I be given the Wasila, he will be assured of my intercession.

Sahih Muslim 384

The Sunnah of Adhan

• To repeat the phrases uttered during the azan.
• To say at its conclusion: I am content and pleased that Allah is my Lord, Islam is my religion, and Muhammad is the Messenger.
• To ask Allah to grant Prophet Muhammad SAW the right of intercession and ascendancy and to grant him (on the day of judgement) the best and the highest place in paradise which Allah promised him.
• Then to send Salah upon him. And finally to ask Allah for your needs.

The prescribed five acts mentioned above should never be overlooked.

Benefits

Supplication between the Adhan and the Iqamah is never rejected. As for the last hadeeth in this post, it encourages supplication between the Adhan and the Iqaamah; acceptance of such supplication is swift. Therefore, it is important for you to seize this opportunity to supplicate to Allah that He may respond to you.
