Dua After Adhan: Significance and Benefits

The Adhan, the call to prayer, resonates from mosques worldwide, reminding believers of their duty to Allah (SWT). While many of us listen to it daily, but are we aware of the beautiful and powerful dua after adhan.

Dua After Adhan

آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ

Transliteration:

‘Allahumma Rabba hadhihi-dda` watit-tammah, was-salatil qa’imah, ati Muhammadan al-wasilata wal-fadilah, wa b`ath-hu maqaman mahmudan-il-ladhi wa`adtahu

Translation:

[O Allah! Lord of this perfect call (perfect by not ascribing partners to You) and of the regular prayer which is going to be established, give Muhammad the right of intercession and illustriousness, and resurrect him to the best and the highest place in Paradise that You promised him (of)]

Sahih al-Bukhari 614
