 Why should it be beautiful?
– Allah has made our ears a source of either attraction or
repulsion of what we hear.
– We love to hear soothing, relaxing, and beautiful tones. This
is the law that Allah has created us with, if there is a
displeasing sound that is heard in our ear, we will suddenly
try to avoid listening to it or if we have to listen to it whether
we like it or not, it will not go beyond the ears.
– The reason behind Adhan as has been stated earlier is to
invite the Muslims towards worshipping Allah S.W.T.
– If the Adhan is beautiful, the person who rarely goes to the
masjid will try to run towards it seeking the beauty of Adhan
thereby getting an opportunity to get closer to other acts of
Ibadah Inshallah.
