Azan
Every prayer with the exception of the two Eid prayers and funeral prayers is preceded by an Azaan. The Muezzin i.e., the person who calls out the Azaan should be an adult Muslim male. It is preferred that he should perform the Wuzu before calling the Azaan and stand on a raised platform with his face towards the Qiblah. Inserting the tips of his forefingers in his ears, he should give the Azaan in a loud and clear voice pronouncing the words correctly and distinctly. The words of the Azaan are as under:
