It is an established fact. Have a look at a map of the world and youwill find Indonesia on the eastern side of the earth. The major citiesof Indonesia are Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Saibil. As soon as dawnbreaks on the eastern side of Saibil, at approximately 5:30 am localtime, Fajar Azaan begins. Thousands of Muazzins in Indonesia beginreciting the Azaan.

The process advances towards West Indonesia. One and a half hours afterthe Azaan has been completed in Saibil, it echoes in Jakarta. Sumatrathen follows suit and before this auspicious process of calling Azaanends in Indonesia, it has already begun in Malaysia.

Burma is next in line, and within an hour of its beginning in Jakarta,it reaches Dacca, the capital city of Bangladesh. After Bangladesh, ithas already prevailed in western India, from Calcutta to Srinagar. Itthen advances towards Bombay and the environment of entire Indiaresounds with this proclamation. Srinagar and Sialkot (a city in northPakistan) have the same timing for Azaan. The time difference betweenSialkot, Quetta, and Karachi is forty minutes, and within this time,Fajar Azaan is heard throughout Pakistan. Before it ends there, it hasalready begun in Afghanistan and Muscat. The time difference betweenMuscat and Baghdad is one hour. Azaan resounds during this one hour inthe environments of Hijaaz-e-Muqaddas (Holy cities of Makkah andMadinah), Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq. The timedifference between Baghdad and Alexandria in Egypt is again one hour.

Azaan continues to resound in Syria, Egypt, Somalia and Sudan duringthis hour. The time difference between eastern and western Turkey isone and a half hours, and during this time it is echoed with the callto prayer.

Alexandria and Tripoli (capital of Libya) are located at one hour'sdifference. The process of calling Azaan thus continues throughout Thewhole of Africa.

Therefore, the proclamation of the Tawheed and Risaalat that had begunin Indonesia reaches the Eastern Shore of the Atlantic Ocean after nineand half hours.

Prior to the Azaan reaching the shores of The Atlantic, the process ofZohar Azaan has already started in east Indonesia, and before itreaches Dacca, Asar Azaan has started. This has hardly reached Jakartaone and half hours later, the time of Maghrib becomes due, and nosooner has Maghrib time reached Sumatra, the time for calling IshaAzaan has commenced in Saibil!

When the Muazzins of Indonesia are calling out Fajar Azaan, the AfricanMuazzins are calling the Azaan for Isha. If we were to ponder over thisphenomenon thoughtfully, we would conclude the amazing fact that thereis not even a single moment when hundreds of thousands of Muazzinsaround the world are not reciting the Azaan on the surface of thisearth. Even as you read this material right now, you can be sure thereare atleast thousands of people who are hearing and reciting theAzaan!!!
