Question Assalamu Aleikum wa rahmatu lillahi 1) I have a question about the lengthening during the adhan. I have notice that when muezzins recite for the second time " Hayya ala Salât" and "Hayya ala falâh", they tend to lengthen "Salât" and "Falâh" although those two words do not have a medd. Why is it so? and to how many counts do they lengthen "Salât" and "Falâh"? 2) Do qaris who
recite in front of a live audience (in public) have a specific training so
that they will not be nervous or make mistakes in their recitation? Answer 1) The adhaan,
since it is not part of the
Qur’an, cannot be measured with the same tajweed rules, but the word
does
have a medd when stopping on it, as well as the word
. There is an alif preceded by a fat-hah,
and followed by one voweled letter, and we stop on this last letter with a
temporary sukoon. This in tajweed
of the Qur’an is
, and when reciting
the Qur’an, we lengthen this medd 2, 4, or 6 counts. The
adhaan though is not held to a specific number of vowel counts in this
lengthening. 2.
We are not aware of this, but believe that the more one reads in front of
people the easier it generally gets. The
most important thing is keeping ones intention solely for Allah when reciting
the Qur’an, and this caution would be especially needed in front of a group.
There are some naturally more at
ease in front of groups than others, but it does not mean if one has the
tendency to be nervous, that it will always be that way.
