For grown-ups
- Hang it where your family hears the adhan, from the masjid or a prayer-time app, and read along line by line.
- Give each child a job: one calls a line, and the others answer with the words in the 'We say' column.
- Learn one new line each week until your child knows the whole adhan and the replies.
- Some schools of thought say parts of the adhan a little differently; follow your teacher.
- Print at 100% ("actual size") on thick paper, or laminate it for a busy wall. For a big classroom or masjid poster, use the 18 × 24 in PDF at a print shop.
