-'''Adhan''' (أَذَان) is the Islamic call to prayer. It is broadcasted daily preceding each of the five daily prayers to announce that window of time dedicated to each of them has begun. The root of the Arabic word Adhaan means "to hear" or "to be informed". In modern times, loudspeakers have been adopted for the use of broadcasting the call to prayer publicly so that, in Muslim-majority nations, a person living within or near any city or population center is able to hear the adhaan from within their home, five times a day.

 The Quran talks about falah in the context of jihad. Those who do jihad (physical fighting) against disbelievers are better than those who remained home and refused to participate in the Islamic imperialism.

 But the Messenger and those who believe with him strive hard (جَاهَدُوا, ''jaahadoo'') with their property and their persons; and these it is who shall have the good things and these it is who shall be successful (الْمُفْلِحُونَ, ''al-muflihoon'').

-The word ''jaahadoo'' is from the same root as jihad and the word ''muflihoon'' is from the same root as ''falah''. So the promised success (falah) is not only the paradise with virgins, but also the spoils of war.
