Brother is a new convert, and he is still learning. Please be patient with him and not judge the book by its cover 🙏
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullohu wa barakatuhu

[Mk-vqqb]

Even if his call to prayer reminded just one soul. He will still be rewarded. Think about the positive our brother is doing.

[Mr_Jupiter]

No need to judging, only Allah knows our hearts.

[shahabnadvi]

How sweet and pure soul.
It's not a song. It's Azan.
It's a sound from heart.

May Allah accept it

I got to meet him after this went viral. Allhumdullah very great guy. We both got to share how we both recite the Adhan. I have been calling people to prayers at my masjid for nearly 3 years. I’m always happy and curious to hear how others recite the call. 😁

[Palestine_baloch]

First I was like wth? But then I see that he has recited it with his heart Subhan Allah may اللّٰه be pleased with him Ameen❤

I took my shahada there at the masjid in Oakland ca the brothers and sisters are so respectful and caring for each other and our community I never felt so much love 🤲🏾☪️

[chadiibrahim]

he has a beautiful voice straight from the heart.

[zafir]

Beautiful azan, reflects the man's culture and heritage. That's the beauty of Islam.

[mussa]

Mashallah, his voice is lovely. To any who might be wondering, it is obligatory upon those capable to do so to make the call to Azan in a way that keeps the Arabic intact, taking into consideration the correct time for pausing and duration for elongation. This brother's Azan is incorrect on that end, but no blame is upon him as he is learning still.

For those that say this is correct, the above is for you
For those that blame him, the above is for you also

[ihaq-Islam-and-Physics]

It's a call to prayer and he is doing just that and it's his beautiful way. Masha-Allah.

[adoontiialle]

He is a new convert and he is learning. ✊

[alifabdullah]

He is putting his heart into it . I support him

[samsmith]

You can tell it’s coming from his heart ❤️

Edit: So I never knew, as it's not my religion that this is somewhat wrong, either way from someone who knows nothing about it ... he has an amazing voice, and that was in itself is beautiful in my eyes ♥️

[ouddin]

MashaAllah this is beautiful!
Those commenting with negative criticism because of the melody the brother is using please remove your ignorant comments. The adhan that you’re used to is called in various Arabic, Persian, and Kurdish maqams(melodies). This brother is of African and/or mixed heritage and he is pronouncing the words correctly, which is the most important thing, and his African melody is absolutely fine and beautiful. The adhan is a call to prayer to all mankind! Only 15% of the 2 Billion Muslims worldwide are Arab, so naturally the call to prayer will be done in various melodies while simultaneously preserving the language of revelation, Arabic. By the way, when Bilal (Allah be pleased with him) the African companion (disciple) of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) chose him to call the adhan, he did so for his beautiful voice.
Anyway this is clear prophetic proof that those with beautiful voices should be given the opportunity to call the adhan. This brother did it beautifully, powerfully, and with so much heart. Allah bless him and increase him and us all, Ameen!

[abuomarito]

One of the most beautiful adhan I heard in my life. Baraka Allahu feekum

[TheReaTruth]

Allah knows this brothers intentions. This was beautiful and from the heart and that is what count’s Alhamdulillah and peace and blessings upon the prophet Muhammad 🕋❤️

[kingrapid]

before ppl start trying to correct him, there is nothing wrong with it. He is fulfilling all the ahkaam (rules) to perform the adhaan from voice to pronunciation and Allah knows best.

[zain]

The tajweed is all wrong but he is probably a new revert. May Allah guide him further so he can recite the azan in the proper way.

[beozksl]

I loved it. He reads the call to prayer with voice and feelings coming from a loving heart. His voice pleased me. chills
