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 atleast thousands of people who are
hearing and reciting the
Azaan!!!
