Malikis: "It is disliked for a mu'adhdhin to overly embellish or sing the adhan"?
Assalam Alaykum,
I was reading on Sister Ustadha Aisha Bewely's website and I read:
[NOTE: It is disliked for a mu'adhdhin to overly embellish or sing the adhan.]
What does singing the adhan constitute? If we sing it like they do in Syria or other places in the middle east - does that count as singing?
Jazakallahu Khayrun
Isn't it considered melody?
salams
all i know is, if you go to masajid in morocco - no melodious adhan, and no melodious recitation in the imam's recitation during prayer. it may sound dull, in fact it makes a nice change, and is somewhat delightful to the ear. it is said that this is how it was done in madinah - i.e. amal - Allah knows best
Hmm.. the Guiding Helper has it!

Just go 1/2 way through it.
They might read the Arabic different but thats because Shaykh Abu Qanit is a master of Arabic as well and knows how to read it the way it originally was read.

Not just in the Maliki madhab- it is little known even for the Hanafis.
In fact, Mulla Ali Al Qari RA complained about the adhaans in the Holy Cities according to my teacher.
The adhaan, like the Qur'an, has the rules of recitation to it. If you pronounce letters incorrectly, you haven't called it properly. The elongations of the letters- through the madd- is something that is often overlooked, so you have people singing the adhan. There is even a story of Umar RA saying he dislikes someone due to the fact that his adhaan is too melodic if I am not mistaken.

As salaamu 'alaykum,
I'm wondering if there is a similar ruling which applies to reciting the Qur'an?[NOTE: It is disliked for a mu'adhdhin to overly embellish or sing the adhan.]
Wasalam,

I heard that once from a Salafi website I think.Originally Posted by Travelleress
But Rasul Allahhas a hadith about saying the Qur'an in a nice tone. Does anyone know it?
If I'm not mistaken, that is called Tajweed and it isn't singing at all.I heard that once from a Salafi website I think.

Bro, what do you mean by Shaykh Abu Qanit knowing "how to read it (Arabic) as it originally was read? How is it read differently these days, if at all?
Assalam alaikum.
Shaykh Hamza quoted Sidi Ahmed Zarruq in Track 14 (chapter on bid'ah) of "The Poor Man's Book of Asistance" saying that singing the adhan is disliked for Malikis. He also mentioned that Sayyidina Umar (radi Allahu anhu) said to someone who sang the adhan that I hate you for the sake of Islam.
