Azaan (call to prayer) is called out five times a day for believers to stand before Allah, away from worldly distractions. Many people pause their work to listen, while some perform prophetic practice immediately after the call finishes: Azaan ke baad ki Dua is recited.
Reading this authentic Dua carries an extraordinary spiritual power- the intercession (shafa’ah) of the Prophet Muhammad on the Day of Resurrection.
Read this Azaan ke baad ki Dua
This is read after the azaan is completed and after sending blessings upon the Prophet.
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَٰذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ
Pronunciation: Allahumma Rabba haadhihid-da’watit-taammah, was-salaatil-qaa’imah, aati Muhammadanil-waseelata wal-fadheelah, wab’ath-hu maqaamam-mahmoodanil-ladhee wa’adtah.
In English: “O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and established prayer, grant Muhammad the station of Wasilah (the highest rank in Paradise) and virtue, and resurrect him to the praised station which You have promised him.”
In Hindi: “ऐ अल्लाह! इस मुकम्मल पुकार और क़ायम होने वाली नमाज़ के रब! हज़रत मुहम्मद (ﷺ) को ‘वसीला’ (जन्नत का सबसे ऊँचा मुक़ाम) और बुज़ुर्गी अता फरमा, और उन्हें उस ‘मक़ाम-ए-महमूद’ (तारीफ़ किए गए मुक़ाम) पर खड़ा फरमा जिसका तूने उनसे वादा किया है।”

Step-by-step Etiquette of Azaan
To gain the full spiritual benefits, follow these steps during and after Azaan:
- Listen attentively and repeat every phrase exactly when the caller says it. Respond with Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah (There is no might and no power except with Allah) when the caller says “Hayya ‘alas-Salah” (Come to prayer) and “Hayya ‘alal-Falah” (Come to success).
- When the Azaan ends, read blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad, such as Durood-e-Ibrahimi recited in Dua.
- Read the main Azaan ke baad ki Dua.
- Then take a minute to read Duas for your personal needs. Authentic Hadith confirm that Duas made between Azaan and Iqamah are not rejected.
