The adhān ( ; also transcribed: Azan/Ezan) is the Islamic call to prayer, recited by the muezzin at prescribed times of the day. The root of the word is meaning "to permit"; another derivative of this word is , meaning "ear" (not to be confused with the plural "ears" ).
Adhan is called out by the muezzin in the mosque five times a day, traditionally from a minaret, summoning Muslims for mandatory (fard) prayers (salah). A second call known as iqama (set up) then summons Muslims to line up for the beginning of the prayers. The main purpose behind the multiple loud pronouncements of adhan in every mosque is to make available to everyone an easily intelligible summary of Islamic belief. It is intended to bring to the mind of every believer and non-believer the substance of Islamic beliefs, or its spiritual ideology. In modern times, loudspeakers have been installed on minarets for this purpose.
The adhan sums up the Shahada, the statement of faith: There is no deity but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God. This statement of faith called the Kalimah, is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam.
|- | 2x |lang="ar" dir="rtl"| الصلاة خير من النوم | {{unicode| (For Fajr) As-salatu khayru min an-nawm}} | Salat (prayer, worship) is better than sleep
|- | 2x |lang="ar" dir="rtl"| الله أكبر | Allāhu akbar | God is Greatest |- | 1x |lang="ar" dir="rtl"| لا إله إلا الله | La ilaha illallah | There is no god except Allah. |}
Followers of the Maliki madh'hab say this line twice instead of four times. The line "Prayer is better than sleep" is used only for the first prayers of the day at dawn (fajr prayer; Salat al-fajr). Allah means "The God" in Arabic, and means the One True God worshiped in the Abrahamic monotheistic religions
Islam state that the adhan was not written or said by the prophet, Muhammad(PBUH), but by one of his Sahabah (his companions). Abdullah ibn Zayd, a prominent sahabah of Muhammad(PBUH), had a vision in his dream }}, in which the call for prayers was revealed to him by God. He later related this to his companions. Meanwhile, this news reached Muhammad(PBUH), and he liked it and confirmed it. Because of his stunning voice Muhammad(PBUH) chose a freed Habeshan slave by the name of Bilal ibn Rabah al-Habashi to give the call for prayers. Muhammad(PBUH) preferred the call better than the use of bells (as by the Christians) and horns (as by the Jews).
During the Friday prayer (Salat Al Jumu'ah), there are two adhans; the first is to call the people to the mosque, the second is said before the Imam begins the khutbah (sermon). Just before the prayers start, someone amongst the praying people recites the iqama as in all prayers. The basis for this is that at the time of the Caliph Umar he ordered two adhans to be made, the first of which was to be made in the marketplace to inform the people that the Friday prayer was soon to begin, and the second adhan would be the regular one held in the mosque. Not all Sunnis prefer two adhans as the need for warning the people of the impending time for prayer is no longer essential now that the times for prayers are well known.

It was considered Bid‘ah (), which is any type of innovation in Islam. Though innovations in worldly matters, such as science, medicine and technology are acceptable and encouraged, Bid`ah within the religion is often seen as a sin or innuendo, and Muhammad stated as such:

Similar statements are found in other verses of the Qur'an and other Hadith as well.
The adhan was replaced with the following:
Following the conclusion of said debates, the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı) released an official mandate on July 18, 1932, announcing the decision to all the mosques across Turkey, and the practice was continued for a period of 18 years.
On July 16, 1950, a new government was sworn in, led by Adnan Menderes, who had campaigned almost exclusively on a platform of repealing the ban on the Arabic adhan. The Arabic adhan was restored, and Arabic was declared as the liturgical language.
