Kapanlagi.com - During the Idul Adha Prayer, the bilal's recitation plays a crucial role in starting the worship and creating a festive atmosphere. As the muazin responsible for announcing the call, the bilal invites all congregants to gather and perform the worship together. On this blessed day, the bilal does not announce the adhan or iqamah as usual, but instead delivers a special call filled with meaning.
The call recited by the bilal aims to unite the hearts of the congregation in worship. With phrases like "As-shalta(u) jmi'ah", we are reminded to collectively perform the Idul Adha Prayer with sincerity and devotion. The bilal's recitations also vary at each location, providing a unique and special atmosphere for each prayer session.
More than just a call, these recitations also contain prayers and hopes that Allah continually bestows His blessings upon all people. Let us review some of the commonly used bilal recitations during the Idul Adha Prayer, both in Arabic, Latin, and their translations. This way, we can appreciate the beauty of the meaning contained in each of these calls.
1. Bilal's Recitation Before Eid al-Adha Prayer
An example of the bilal's recitation for Eid al-Adha that is commonly used before the prayer is the call to perform the Eid al-Adha prayer in congregation. For instance, the bilal will announce:
‘أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، الصَّلاةُ جَامِعَةً’
Latin: Asyhadu an la ilaha illallah wahdahu laa syarika lah, wa asyhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh, ash-shalatu jaami'atan.
Translation: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, the One, with no partner to Him, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, the prayer is in congregation.'
2. Reading by the Bilal Before the Sermon
After performing the prayer, the bilal plays a very vital role by calling out prayers and salawat, including salawat for the Prophet Muhammad SAW, as a form of respect and admiration for the Prophet who spread the teachings of Islam throughout the world. Not only that, before the sermon begins, the bilal also reminds the congregation with important announcements so that they prepare and focus on the khatib who will share valuable advice.
One example of the bilal's recitation before the sermon is:
‘يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ، رَحْمَكُمُ اللَّهُ، اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ يَوْمَكُمْ هَذَا يَوْمُ عِيدِ الأَضْحَىٰ، يَوْمُ السُّرُورِ وَيَوْمُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ، أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فِيهِ الطَّعَامَ وَحَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامَ، إِذَا صَعِدَ الْخَطِيبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ أَنْصِتُوا، وَاسْمَعُوا، وَأَطِيعُوا، رَحْمَكُمُ اللَّهُ’
Latin: Ya ayyuhal muslimin, rahimakumullah, 'alamu anna yaumu-kum haadza yaumu 'iidil adha, yaumus sururi wa yaumul maghfuri, ahalallahu lakum fiihith tha'aama wa harrama 'alaikumush shiyaama, idzaa sha'adal khatiibu 'alal minbari anshituu, wasma'uu, wa athii'uu, rahimakumullah.
Translation: 'O Muslims, may Allah have mercy on you. Know that today is the day of Eid al-Adha, a day of joy and a day of forgiveness. Allah has made it lawful for you to eat today and has forbidden you to fast today. When the khatib ascends the pulpit, then pay attention, listen, and obey, may Allah have mercy on you.'
3. Variations of the Bilal's Reading in Various Regions
It is important to remember that the readings by the bilal can vary between regions and mosques. Each mosque may have slightly different traditions and readings, but the essence remains the same, which is to guide the congregation in performing worship with focus and devotion. The most important thing is the sincere intention and seriousness in carrying out the worship. These readings are not just a routine, but also serve as a reminder of the blessed meaning of Eid al-Adha.
With the presence of the bilal, the atmosphere of the Eid al-Adha prayer becomes more directed and organized. The congregation can focus more on worship without feeling confused about what to do next. Therefore, the role of the bilal is very important in every implementation of the Eid al-Adha prayer.
