Abstract :
It is believed that Azan and Iqameh (Prayer call and practice), as a sign of belief and the song of faith of Muslims, are not just a call to declare their presence in the rightful place; however, they carry high content of faith and mysticism with many worship and spiritual works. In the present study, attempts have been made so as to provide a general conceptualization, indicate the value and credibility of its revelation and worship, and offer the mystical and spiritual blessings of this awesome sound. Accordingly after referring to the heavenly and revelatory origin of Azan, special attentions have been paid to its devotional value in the hadiths. In the meanwhile from different religions perspectives on Azan and Iqameh, Azan’s interpretations were taken into account. In the second major section of this paper, some less well–known contents of Azan were considered with regard to the brilliant mystical themes on the basis of faith and belief since all its vocabularies are divine, the confession and affirmation of the mission, and the manifestation of right. In addition, the composition and arrangement of the statements comprise a course of Allah to Allah with the spiritual journey from the horizons of the heart to the Alailin. In the end, some of the spiritual works of Azan’s versions were also provided for religious subject advocates.
