MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND
“ Abu-Mahthūrah said that the call to prayer the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, taught him was nineteen phrases and the call to the start of prayer (1) was seventeen phrases. (1) The call to the start of prayer (iqāmah) is a shorter and quicker version of the call to prayer (athān) that is said to let people know that the prayer is about to start. ”
