 The call to prayer in the Prophet's Mosque

The call to prayer in the Prophet's Mosque is the raising of the call to prayer for the congregational prayers in the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. The individuals who perform this duty are called "mu'adhdhin" (callers to prayer), who raise the call to prayer, establish the prayer, follow the imams, and call for prayers at funerals, as well as for the Taraweeh and Tahajjud prayers during the month of Ramadan, the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers, the Salat al-Istisqa (prayer for rain), and the prayers for lunar and solar eclipses. The call to prayer in the Prophet's Mosque The mu'adhdhin at the Prophet's Mosque raise the call to prayer from the minaret of the mosque, which is the designated place for the callers to prayer to raise the adhan and iqamah (call to commence the prayer) and to repeat after the imam during the prayer and during the Takbirat of the two Eids. The minaret is a square platform located about five meters away from the pulpit and is elevated eight columns off the ground, covering an area of 5x4 meters. The last renovation of this platform was in 1403 AH / 1983 AD. It is an elevated open area overlooking the Noble Rawdah and the mihrab of the Prophet's Mosque. Management of the Affairs of Imams and Mu'adhdhin in the Prophet's Mosque The management that oversaw the call to prayer in the Prophet's Mosque was the management of the affairs of the imams and mu'adhdhin in the Prophet's Mosque, which was affiliated with the Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques, before the establishment of the "Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Great Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque," which took over the supervision of the mu'adhdhin. The supervisory tasks included preparations.

The history of the call to prayer in the Prophet's Mosque did not begin when the mosque was built during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). At that time, people would call out 'the prayer is ready', and they would gather in the mosque to perform the prayers without a call to prayer or an announcement. The call to prayer in the Prophet's Mosque coincided with the change of the Qibla (direction of prayer) to the Sacred Mosque in Mecca, instead of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Its inception began with a vision shared by the companions Abdullah bin Zaid Al-Khazraji and Omar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) described it as a true vision. He ordered Bilal bin Rabah to call the people to prayer with the audible call that is currently heard in all Muslim mosques. Muslims were exchanging thoughts on how to gather people for prayer; some suggested a horn, while others suggested a bell. Abdullah bin Zaid came to the Prophet and said: 'Last night, a vision came to me. A man wearing two green garments was carrying a bell in his hand. I asked him: Are you selling this bell? He said: What will you do with it? I said: I will use it to call people to prayer. He said: Shall I not guide you to something better than that? I asked: What is it? He said: You say: Allah u Akbar Allah u Akbar, and so on until the end of the call to prayer.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him: 'Go to Bilal and share it with him, so that he may call the prayer with it, for he is.

The History of the Minarets of the Prophet's Mosque The first minaret in the Prophet's Mosque was built by the caliph Umar ibn Abdul Aziz during the construction by Al-Walid ibn Abdul Malik, who placed a minaret at each corner of the mosque. The mosque later had only three minarets during the time of Sulayman ibn Abdul Malik, and they remained until the year 580 AH / 1184 CE. The eastern one was in the shape of a minaret, while the other two were in the form of towers .Sultan Al-Ashraf Qayt bay added a small minaret between Bab al-Salam and Bab al-Rahma, named the Minaret of Bab al-Rahma. During the Ottoman period, the northeastern minaret was demolished and replaced by a minaret called the Sulaymaniyah. A fifth minaret was added with Sultan Abdul Majid's expansion of the Prophet's Mosque, designated as the northwest minaret, referred to as the formation or wooden minaret, also known as the Majidiah, which was removed in the first Saudi expansion, and a new minaret was built in the latest design. The northeastern minaret is called the Sinjariah, also known as the Suleimaniah and the Aziziah, while the southeastern minaret is referred to as the Main Minaret, and this name is still used to this day. It is the minaret adjacent to the Green Dome, and the Kingdom is keen to maintain and renovate it.
