سُبْحٰنَ اللہ! How great is the virtue of those give the Adhan and lead the people in prayer; Allah Almighty has prepared tents made of pearls for them. May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to do this too. Let us listen to 2 sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم regarding this:

1.   The one who calls the Adhan is like a martyr who is covered in blood, and when he dies, his body will not become infested with insects in the grave.^[1]

2.   Whosoever calls the Adhan for the five prayers, upon the basis of faith and with the intention of gaining reward, all of his previous sins will be forgiven, and whosoever leads his companions in the five prayers, all of his previous sins will be forgiven.^[2]
