Anak siapa ini suaranya Merdu Adzan (Mekkah SMPN 4 PETIR)

Adzan (أَذَان‎) is the Muslim's call to prayer. It is different from the other calls of prayers of other religions - the Christians use the bell while the Jews use the horn.

The first person to recite the call of prayer is a black man by the name of Bilal Ibn Rabbah (بلال بن رباح‎), and henceforth, the person who calls other to prayer, or the muezzin, is called the bilal (بلال). The adzan is usually called out by the bilal at the start of the 5 obligatory prayers. This is a notification for Muslims that the time for prayer has arrived and they should stop their worldly business and come for prayers. A second call, known as the iqamah (إقامة‎), then summons Muslims to line up for the beginning of the prayers.

There are specific verses recited in the adzan. It brings to mind the substance of the Islamic belief. It was taught to Bilal by Rasulullah. With each verse, Muslims who hear it is supposed to respond with a specific response.
