Hehehe... Funny Questions for a nice topic.
Well in the hadeeth, it says that you have to leave everything aside, and concentrate on answering the call to prayer.
But in addition to your questions, im also wondering whether its permissible to answer when you are in the washroom. I think its not.
I am sure our knowledgable bros/sis will help us with this

Allah's Apostle [salla lahu alaihi wa sallam].)"

Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 1.587 Narrated byYahya [Radiallah anhu]as above
(586) and added
"Some of my companions told me that Hisham had said, 'When the Mu'adhdhin said,
"Haiya alas-sala(t) (come for the prayer)." ' Muawiya [Radiallah anhu]said,
"La hawla wala quwata illa billah (There is neither might nor any power except
with Allah)" and added, "We heard your Prophet saying the same."

mahmudan-il-ladhi wa' adtahu (O Allah! Lord of this perfect call (of not
ascribing partners to You) and of the regular prayer which is going to be

knew the reward of the Zuhr prayer (in the early moments of its stated time)
they would race for it (go early) and if they knew the reward of 'Isha' and
Fajr (morning) prayers in congregation, they would come to offer them even if
they had to crawl."

As giving respect it is better to lower your tv volume and leave all your job that your doing to answer the athan.How can you answer the athan if you are in the middle of something? If you are in the bathroom it is not permissible to answer of course.

read the book that i have uploaded.it is more precise in answering all your questions InshaAllah.

 

[superbro]

Do you have say the azaan even if its your clock saying the azaan. A recording, not a real person. Ive got a clock which says azaan for every salah.

 

[The_truth]

:salam2:
i hope my beloved TTI family finds my questionalpost in the best of heath and imaan.inshallah

my questions are regarding answering the call of prayers.i understand that we are supposed to leave every kind of work we are busy with while the moazzin gives the adan.and that we should answer it.

1stly i am confused what to do when i'm talking on the phone and and i hear the adan.should i hang up immediately or is it one of the cases in which it is o.k.?

2ndly,there are many mosques nearby,so lot of adans.i just catch up with any one of them and answer it.is it the right thing to do?:shymuslima1:

3rdly,at times i catch up when the moazzin is half done i start with him but if i hear another's just starting up.well i leave the first and start answering the second one.so again is it ok

lastly can i tell my annoying lil brother to shut up during the process.(or should i get to him later:tongue:.give him the taste of his own medicine when he's busy and serious:tongue::tongue::tongue

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, If you hear the Azan you must listen and respond to the call of Allah. Many people, even those with Islamic knowledge continue talking while the Azan is being called.

This is rude, since those hearing the Azan should listen to it and quit speech, study and even Quran recitation. Solemnly they should repeat the words of the Azan and reflect on the words of this highest call. We should listen to the Azan, whether we are at home, office, shop, or attending a lesson, even if it is a religious lesson.

Imam Al-Kasani in Badaiu Al-Sanaei' said: 'Those hearing the Azan or Iqama should not talk. Even if reading Quran or doing other noble things, everything should be stopped to listen and respond to the Azan'.

The Azan is the food of the soul nourishing it with faith and elevation. Do not forgo your share of it. Teach this to your children and friends. Al-Bukhari narrated a Hadith by Abu Saeed Al-Khudri that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 'If you heard the call say like what the Muezzin is saying.' In another Hadith reported by Jaber that the Prophet said 'He deserves my help on the day of judgment who said when hearing Azan: O' Allah, the Lord of this perfect call and imminent prayer, please award Mohammad the help, nobility, and the desired status you promised him.'

Imam Abdul Razaq narrated in his Musanaf that Ibn Juraig said: 'I was told that people used to listen to Azan like they would listen to recitation of Quran. They would repeat after the Muezzin. If he said: come to prayer, they will say: with the help and power of Allah. If he said: come to the good deed, they will say: with the will of Allah.

there are Hadiths that command us to repeat the words of the Adhan after the muezzin, as a Mustahabb or encouraged deed.

Some people neglect this fact, and do not realize how much reward they are missing out on and how much they are to blame for that. What sort of hearts must they have?! They hear the remembrance of Allah, then they turn away from Him, and it has no effect on their hearts so that they may fear Him and feel compelled to listen.

One of these Hadiths is that narrated by Imam Muslim in his Sahih (No. 384) from `Amr ibn Al-`As (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that he heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “When any one of you hears the muezzin, let him say the like of what he says, then send blessings on me, for whoever sends blessings on me, Allah will send blessings tenfold on him. Then ask Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah, for it is a status in Paradise that only one of Allah’s slaves will attain, and I hope that I will be this one. Whoever asks for Al-Wasilah for me, will be granted my intercession for him.”

As for greeting each other with Salam and shaking hands, there is nothing wrong with this, for these are acts of obedience to Allah. There is no conflict between doing these things and responding to the muezzin, because a person may do all of these things at once.

So yes you should get off the phone and tell the person you will ring back later and grab these GREAT rewards for repeating the Azaan and afterwards reciting the dua.

Dua's between azaan and Iqaamah are readily accepted so this should be the time to make as much dua as possible and refrai from idle talk.

Just repeat the Adhan when you are able to even if you missed half way thats what i do. Allah understands and will reward you according to your intentions.

You can tell your brother during or after the Adhan it does'nt matter because Sulayman ibn Surad talked during the adhan. Al-Hasan said, "There is no harm in laughing while the adhan or the iqama is being given."

Just explain to your brother about the importance of Adhan and ignore him when he gets upto his mischief whilst Adhan is taking place. If you ignore him then he will eventually stop but if you admonish him then he will continue.

Hope that helps. Please remember me in your dua's.

I guess as long as you hear any athan you should answer it .Even if it is from TV.but I don't know if you will commit sin if you do not answer it.It is sunnah i guess
