Adhan Recordings

My Adhan Recordings from Masjid Al-Haram (Makkah) and Masjid Al-Nabawi (Madinah)

The air is still, the crowd calm, the anticipation palatable. As we sit, enjoy and savor our time in Masjid Al-Haram, our ears suddenly fill with the sweet sounds ofAdhan (call to prayer) – echoing & reverberating throughout Makkah. It is such an amazing feeling and experience that words cannot do it justice – SubhaanAllaah. But as a special treat … I finally had a chance to upload some of my Adhan (& Iqama) recordings from Makkah and Madinah to share with you.

Actually a while back I tried searching for Adhan audio files online and found it quite difficult. Alhamdulillah I was able to record these (with a small voice recorder) last year (2010 / 1431) in Makkah and Madinah in the month of Dhul Hijjah.

Enjoy …
