The Adhaan/ Azan was created in the early 1800’s as a call for all Muslims to come and pray. The Azan itself is a message to let all Muslims know that the prayer time is upon them. Many Muslims have devices in their homes that are connected to their local mosques. This help them get the same message without being in the mosque every time they go to pray. The local imam (the person who prayers) will usually do the Adhaan/ Azan for their local mosque.
