When is the Iqāmah? And what is the difference between the Adhān and the Iqāmah?
The Iqāmah is the call that is announced immediately before the prayer begins in the mosque, inviting worshippers to line up for prayer. It comes after the Adhān. The Iqāmah is not a new time; rather, it is an announcement that the congregational prayer is about to start after its time has already begun.
📌 The difference between the Adhān and the Iqāmah:
Adhān: Announces the beginning of the prescribed prayer time.
Iqāmah: Announced when preparing to establish the congregational prayer in the mosque, usually a short time after the Adhān.
Practical example:
If the Dhuhr Adhān in Makkah is at 12:26, the Iqāmah might be between 3 and 10 minutes later, depending on the mosque’s arrangement (in some mosques it may be sooner, while in others it may be closer to the actual start of the congregational prayer).
When is the Iqāmah established?
It differs from one mosque to another and is usually a few minutes before the congregational prayer begins.
There is no fixed rule in Islamic law that specifies an exact duration between the Adhān and the Iqāmah, but the Sunnah is that it be close to the time when the prayer begins.
