Etymology

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ɑːˈðɑːn/, /əˈðɑːn/

Noun

adhan (plural adhans)

1. (Islam) The call to prayer, which consisted originally of simply four takbirs followed by the statement لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلله (lā ʔilāha ʔillā llāh) (أَشْهَدُ أَنْ) ((ʔašhadu ʔan)).

   If one pray alone, then no adhan is needed.
