Temjid recitation intended to praise God
11 September 2009 / ,
Temjid comes from an Arabic term that means "praising" derived from the word "majd," which means "honor."
In Ottoman times, muezzins -- the people who recite the call to prayer -- used to recite a call praising God either immediately after the morning call to prayer or after the terawih prayer (a night prayer performed during the month of Ramadan) during the months of Rajab, Sha'ban and Ramadan. These calls included Arabic verses praising God and were generally recited by six muezzins on Mondays and Fridays. People used to listen to muezzins reciting the temjid from their homes and then perform prayers and read the Holy Quran. Prophet Muhammad advised Muslims to recite temjid frequently, saying: "These words are one of the treasures of Paradise. There is no power and strength but in God."
