DU'Á AFTER ADHÁN
On completion of the adhan, Muslims are recommended to recite:
ALLÁHUMMA RABBA HÁDHI-HID DA'WA-TIT-TÁM MATI
O Alláh! Lord of this complete call and prayer of ours, by the blessing of it.
WAS-SALÁTIL QÁ'E-MATI Á'TI MUHAMMADANIL WASÍLATA
give to Muhammad his eternal rights of intercession,
WÁL FADÍ LATA WAD-DARAJATAR-RAFÍ 'ATA
distinction and highest class (in paradise).
WAB 'ATH-HU MAQÁMAM-MAHMÚDA-NIL LADHÍ WA 'AT-TAHU
And raise him to the promised rank You have promised him.
WAR-ZUQ-NÁ SHA FÁ 'ATAHÚ YAUM-AL-QIYÁMAH
and bestow his intercession on us on the day of judgement.
Surley You never go back on your word.
IQÁMAH
After Adhán when the Muslims are asembled at the place of worship, a second call (Iqámah) is recited by one of the group. This signals the start of the congregational Saláh. It is similar to Adhán except that it is recited faster but in a lower tone and these sentences are recited after HAYYA 'ALAL FALÁH:
QAD QÁMATIS SALÁH QAD QÁMATIS SALÁH
The prayer has begun. The prayer has begun.
