Calling the Believers: An Ijaza in the Adhan of Bilal (RA)

Australian Suhba 2025

Ustadh Mohammad Adel

This is an exciting short course that offers students an opportunity to connect to a hallowed tradition. Students will be able to recite the adhan and iqama to an authorised teacher with an ijaza in both, and in turn receive a written ijaza themselves! Sheikh Mohammad Adel has done this, he has recited with an authorised teacher who fine-tuned his adhan and iqama. This connected him with 25 other righteous men in this sanad back to these final four: the venerable sahabi Uqba (RA), who took it from the venerable sahabi Bilal (RA – the mu’adhin of the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace), who took it from the venerable sahabi Abdullah ibn Zayd (RA), who took it from our Master, the final Prophet and Messenger Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace).
