أثر التطور العلمي في الأذان

Abstract

The advancement in technology have reached a point where it is possible
for people to easily reach each other regardless of distance. However, this is
all a gift from "Allah" who taught mankind what otherwise they did not
know, and provided them the means to reach such knowledge. It all started
with the invention of electricity which provides the needed power for radio
stations and enable people to broadcast all over the world in a short period of
time. In addition, with the use of electricity, it is possible to amplify sounds
many times over using loud speakers.. Muslims have adopted the use of
loud speakers to call for the daily prayers (Athan) to reach distance within
large towns. Through this research, we are going to address the impact of
this scientific development on "Athan", in terms of what is required of the
"muethin", and the Sunnah for him, as well as the fate of the second Athan
on Friday, and the rightness of Athan unification of Cities in a country, as
is the case in some Muslim countries
