Iqama

The word iqama ( ) refers to the second call to Islamic Prayer , given immediately before the prayer begins. Generally speaking, the iqama is given more quickly and in a more monotone fashion, as compared to the adhan . It differs from the first call to prayer, the adhan in only one place (line 6, below): According to the Hanafi school of thought, similar to Shia Muslims, the content of the Iqama is the same as the Adhan i.e. the number of times the lines are recited are the same, but with 'Stand for prayer' read twice after 'Come to salvation'. Also, in the Maliki school of thought, the phrase "stand for prayer" is only recited once.

The word iqama or ikamet ( ) refers to the second call to Islamic Prayer , given immediately before the prayer begins. Generally speaking, the iqamah is given more quickly and in a more monotonous fashion, compared to the adhan , as it is addressed to those already in the mosque rather than a reminder for those outside it to go to the mosque. Aside from a difference in the number of times each line is said, the iqama differs from the first call to prayer, the adhan in only one place (line 6, below): According to the Hanafi school of thought, the content of the Iqama is the same as the Adhan i.e. the number of times the lines are recited are the same ( Allahu akbar four times, and the other parts twice each) except for 'Prayer has started' it is read the same as other scholars, twice. Also, in the Maliki school of thought, the phrase 'Prayer has started' is only recited once.

Second call to Islamic prayer The Iqama or Iqamah ( , ʾIqāmah ) is the second call to Islamic Prayer , given immediately before prayer begins. The iqama is given a more rapid and less sonorous rendering than the first call, the adhan , because it is intended merely to draw the attention of those already in the mosque , rather than to remind those outside the mosque to come in. The phrases of the iqama and the adhan are the same, though there are variations among sects in the preferred number of repetitions of the phrases.

Second Islamic call to prayer The iqama ( Arabic : إِقَامَة , romanized : iqāma ) is the second Islamic call to prayer , recited after the adhan . It summons those already in the mosque to line up for prayer ( salah ). It is traditionally given a more rapid and less sonorous rendering than the adhan , as it is intended merely to draw the attention of those already in the mosque, rather than to remind those outside to come in. Most phrases of the iqama and adhan are the same, though there are variations among the schools ( madhahib ) of jurisprudence ( fiqh ) in the preferred number of repetitions of the phrases.
