Azan - The Call For Prayers
In The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Azan is the first call to prayer. The Azan is
uttered in a loud, albeit sweet melodious, voice
to announce to the faithful that it is time for
the Obligatory Prayer and to invite them to offer
the prayers. Those who perform Azan are known as
'Muezzin.' The honour of being the first Muezzin
goes to Hazrat Bilal, a black slave who converted
to Islam. He had a very sweet, resonant and
musical voice. He was appointed as Muezzin by the
Prophet of Islam. The appointment of a black slave
as the first person to call Muslims for prayers,
shows that in Islam all human beings are treated
as equals. Rich or poor, black or white, short or
tall - all are equal in the eyes of Allah. It is
the piety of each individual that makes the
difference.
Azan is recited in a loud voice by the Muezzin
facing the direction of the Ka'ba in the following
words, which are said in the order mentioned:
"Allahu Akbar" - recited FOUR times.
Meaning, "Allah is Most Great."(four times)
"Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah" - recited TWO
times.
Meaning, "I bear witness that there is none worthy
of being worshipped except Allah."(twice)
"Ash-hadu anna Muhammad-ar-Rasoolullah" - recited
TWO times.
Meaning, "I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Apostle of Allah."(recited twice)
"Hayya 'alas-Salah" - recited TWO times.
Meaning, "Come to prayer."(turning the face alone
to the right and saying it twice)
"Hayya 'alal-falah" - recited TWO times.
Meaning, "Come to Success."(turning the face alone
to the left and saying it twice)
"Allahu Akbar" - recited TWO times.
Meaning, "Allah is Most Great" (face back to front
and saying it two times).
Morning (Fajr) Prayers
The following phrase is added after "Hayya
'alal-falah" in the Azan of the early morning
prayers:
"As-salatu khairum minannaum" - recited Two times.
Meaning, "Prayer is better than sleep" (recited
two times).

ALLAH IS THE GREATEST

Quran(2.87) We gave Moses the Book and followed
him up with a succession of messengers; We gave
Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and
strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that
whenever there comes to you a messenger with what
ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with
pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye
slay!
Quran (16.90) Allah commands justice, the doing of
good, and given to kith and kin, and He forbids
all indecent deeds, and evil and rebellion: He
instructs you, that ye may receive admonition.
Quran (2.62) Those who believe (in the Quran), and
those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the
Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in
Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness,
shall have their reward with their Lord; on them
shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Quran (2.263) Kind words and the covering of
faults are better than charity followed by injury.
Allah is free of all wants, and He is
Most-Forbearing.
Quran (29.46) And dispute ye not with the People
of the Book, except in the best way, unless it be
with those of them who do wrong: but say, "We
believe in the revelation which has come down to
us and in that which came down to you. Our God and
your God is One; and it is to Him we submit.
Quran (28.77) "But seek, with the (wealth) which
Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the
Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world:
but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee,
and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land:
for Allah loves not those who do mischief."
Quran (60.8) Allah forbids you not, with regard to
those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive
you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and
justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are
just.
Quran (5.8) O ye who believe! stand out firmly for
Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not
the hatred of others to you make you swerve to
wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is
next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is
well-acquainted with all that ye do.
(2.136) Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the
revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Ismail,
Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to
Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets
from their Lord: We make no difference between one
and another of them: And we submit to Allah (in
Islam).
Quran (3.70) Ye People of the Book! Why reject ye
the Signs of Allah, of which ye are (yourselves)
witnesses?
Quran (3.71) Ye People of the Book! Why do ye
clothe truth with falsehood, and conceal the
truth, while ye have knowledge.

| Turkish Islamic art of Marbling (Ebru) |
 |
The word marbling is in Turkish EBRU (cloud,
cloudy) or abru (Water face) (En Français. It is
derived from the word ebre which belongs to one of
the older Central Asian languages and it means the
"moiré, veined fabric, paper etc..." used for
covering some manuscripts and other holy books.
Its origin might ultimately hark back to China,
where a document from the T'ang dynasty (618-907)
mentions a process of coloring paper on water with
five hues. Through the Silk Road this art came
first to Iran and picked up the name Ebru.
Subsequently this art moved towards Anatolia.
Specimens of marbled paper in the Turkish museum
and private collections date back as far as the
15th century but unfortunately there is no
evidence to show at what date the art of marbling
paper first appeared in Anatolia. Around the end
of 16th century tradesmen, diplomats and travelers
coming to Anatolia brought this art to Europe and
after the 1550s, booklovers in Europe prized Ebru
which came to be known as "Turkish Paper Turkish
marbled paper making". After then it was broadly
used in Italy, Germany, France and England.
There is agreement amongst scholars that the
so-called Turkish Papers has a colourful influence
on the book arts of Europe. In the early examples
from the 16th century in the Ottoman-Turkish era,
Ebru appears in the battal (large) form, namely
without any manipulation. Ebru technique consists
of sprinkling colors containing a few drops of
ox-gall on to the surface of the bath of water
mixed with with kitre (gum tragacanth) in a
trough. By carefully laying the paper over the
bath, the floating picture on top of it is readily
transferred to the paper thus, each Ebru is a
unique print. To obtain beautiful Ebru results,
one needs to have a light hand, refined taste and
an open mind to the unexpected patterns forming on
the water. Patience and a good knowledge of
traditional culture are characteristic of Ebru
masters. Since the art of marbling had a
significant importance in Islamic art, it is
essential to recall the basic principles of
Islamic art in order to have a better and closer
look at marbling and thereby reach a deeper
understanding. Ottomans tried to express the
beauty of the divine in all branches of art. We
see them seeking to illustrate mystical beauties
in architecture, music and ornamental art. During
the 14th to 19th centuries many religious schools,
especially Sufi sects, became a kind of "Art
Workshop" educating students by a master to
apprentice method. Due to the modesty encouraged
by dervish precepts many works of art even had no
signature on them.

| Muslim Black slavery - Islam slave history of Black Africa |
 |
When doing research on African slavery I came
across this video and was surprised about the
slave trade in the Middle East, especially around
North Africa.
This explains the current genocide that is going
on in Darfur and the Sudan. I could see the link
with the past that this has been going on for 14
centuries.
This person wrote this book about slavery in
Islamic states.
John Alembillah Alembillah Azumah
The book is called Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa:
A Quest for Inter-Religious Dialogue.
This book reveals the dark secret of Islam and
slavery of black people in Africa and the history
of how Arab Muslims went to war on and captured
black men, women and children and turned them into
slaves.
While slavery only lasted 3 centuries in the west,
it has lasted 14 centuries in the Middle East and
exists today in many Muslim countries.
He explains the book in this short video and it is
very interesting.
It explains that when Arab slave traders would
raid black villages to the south they would kill
the adults and kidnap the children.
The boy children were indoctrinated into an
Islamic army for the Arabs and the girls were
taken as household and sex slaves.
The reason their were not that many black
descendants in the middle east is because the
black male children were castrated so they could
not reproduce.
There were a few black Africans who grew up and
because they curried favor with their masters were
allowed to also be slave traders.
A very interesting history of black African slave
trade and the Muslim Arab world.
People need to know this history, BUT instead
sadly people will never get enough of watching
Souljah Boy dance dude, 50 cent, old Tupac Shakur
Rap videos, Britany Spears and other videos and
never know the truth, especially white and black
converts or reverts.
This is part of the legacy of slavery that most
African American people should know.
Many black converts or reverts do not know this
history before they converted believing that they
were originally Muslim before they were sold into
slavery. They were not. People should research
their history before they convert or revert.
