Adhan Dua: Arabic, Transliteration and Meaning
Quick Answer
The adhan dua is recited when the call to prayer ends: 'Allahumma rabba hadhihid-da'watit-tammah...' — asking Allah to grant the Prophet (pbuh) al-wasilah and al-fadilah. 'Whoever says this when he hears the adhan, my intercession becomes due for him' (Bukhari, Adhan 8). While the adhan is being called, the muezzin's words are repeated.
What Is the Adhan Dua?
The adhan dua (dua of al-wasilah) is recited when the call to prayer ends. The Prophet (pbuh) promised his intercession to whoever recites it (Bukhari, Adhan 8).
What to Say During the Adhan
Repeat each phrase of the muezzin, except in two places:
- At "Hayya 'alas-salah" and "Hayya 'alal-falah", say: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no power nor strength except with Allah). (Muslim, Salat 12)
