Based on the above evidence...

Based on the above evidence, the argument of the people and their Mujtahid Imams does not make sense to me. The Adhaan Today And so we take a look at the Adhaan that we have been given today as being the correct one by the Mujtahids.

TAWZEEH UL MASAAIL - SYED ALI AL SISTANI - RULE 927 Adhan consists of the following 18 sentences: Allahu Akbar - four times - (Allah is greater than any description) Ash hadu an la ilaha illal lah - two times - (I testify that there is no god but Allah) Ash hadu anna Muhammadan Rasu lul lah - two times - (I testify that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger) Hayya'alas Salah - two times - (Hasten to prayers) Hayya'alal Falah - two times - (Hasten to deliverance) Hayya'ala Khayril 'Amal - two times (Hasten to the best act) Allahu Akbar - two times - (Allah is greater than any description) La ilaha illal lah - two times - (There is no god but Allah) As you can see that according to this Mujtahid and all others (except of one Syed Muhammad Shirazi - Rule 117) the Third Testimony does not form part of the Ad- haan.

It looks like the Ijtihad that he did was different from the ones done by the rest of the Mujtahids. Let us now look at the some of the declarations of this Adhaan. The first eight sentences are the declaration of the Greatness of Allah (s.w.t.) and the bearing of the first two testimonies. The last four sentences are the two declarations once again of the Greatness of Allah (s.w.t.) and His Unity. That leaves the six sen- tences of the three declarations which we should look at.

AL FADHAAIL - SHAZAN BIN JIBRAEEL 5TH C H The Holy Imam Ali (a.s.) said: I am the Salaat (Prayer) of the believer; I am (the one referred to in) Hasten to Prayers; Hasten to deliverance and hasten to the best act.

This is a clear reference to the three declarations in the Adhaan: Hayya'alas Salah - two times - (Hasten to prayers) Hayya'alal Falah - two times - (Hasten to deliverance) Hayya'ala Khayril 'Amal - two times - (Hasten to the best act) As you can see, virtually the whole of the Adhaan has been designed for the declaration of Wilayah. But the Third Testimony does not form part of the Adhaan as given by them.

Yet, they cannot avoid the overwhelming evidence against their rulings and so they have made it a recommendation, but OUTSIDE the Adhaan. CONCLUSION Let us now look at these two Hadeeth once again for the conclusion.
