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