Etiquette Upon Hearing the Adhan (Call to Prayer)
📌 The Adhan is a sacred call urging Muslims to perform the prescribed prayer ($\text{Salat}$) on time, holding a very important status in Islam.
🕋 Adab (etiquette) in response to the Adhan demonstrates respect for the call to worship and enhances the quality of one's prayer.
📜 The adherence to these etiquettes is expected to lead to greater humility ($\text{Khushu}$) in worship and secure blessings and mercy from Allah ($\text{Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala}$).

Specific Etiquettes to Observe
🔁 Repeat the Call: One should repeat the words recited by the $\text{Mu'adhin}$ (caller), except for the phrases $\text{Hayya 'ala-s-salah}$ and $\text{Hayya 'ala-l-falah}$, where the response should be "$\text{Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh}$" (There is no might nor power except with Allah).
🛑 Cease Activities: It is recommended to stop ongoing activities, especially those distracting attention, to show respect for the call to prayer.
👂 Listen with Devotion: Focus attention fully on the recitation of the Adhan and inwardly intend to answer the call by praying on time.
🙏 Recite the Post-Adhan Supplication: After the call, one should recite the supplication taught by the Prophet Muhammad ($\text{Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam}$) to seek tranquility from Allah.

Post-Adhan Actions
🕌 Prepare Immediately for Prayer: One should promptly prepare for prayer, which includes performing $\text{Wudu}$ (ablution) if necessary, and proceeding to the mosque for congregational prayer or praying at home if circumstances require.
🤫 Avoid Distractions: Refrain from engaging in conversation, joking, or other worldly activities that might disrupt the focus of listening to the Adhan, as this can diminish the reward for listening.
