Minister of Religion Yaqut also opened his voice. Yaqut explained that a muezzin can also be interpreted as someone who signals the start of prayer.
“Those who question have not studied yet? Muazin and bilal are the same name for those who have a loud and eloquent voice. Not only the call to prayer echoes, but also signals the beginning of the prayer. If in the Id prayer, muezzin or bilal, he is the one who commands: assolaatu jaami’ah..., “said Yaqut in a short message.
“So, literally, the muezzin means the person who recites the call to prayer. Bilal tafa’ulan to the companion of Bilal, the companion of the Prophet who first sounded the call to prayer, “continued Yaqut.
