: Ending with "Allahu Akbar" and "La ilaha illallah". The Art of "Azan Sesi"
The beauty of the Azan's sound depends on both technical skill and spiritual intent:
: "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest) – recited 4 times. Azan Sesi
: Testifying there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger – each recited 2 times. Hayya 'ala-s-Salah : "Come to prayer" – recited 2 times. Hayya 'ala-l-Falah : "Come to success" – recited 2 times.
: Beyond the voice, "Azan Sesi" is meant to be a sincere invitation rather than a performance. The goal is to convey urgency and remind listeners that prayer is more important than worldly pursuits.
