Iraqi Shia Azan
Discover the sound and context of Iraqi Shia Azan traditions through properly credited, rights-cleared examples.
Regional context
Iraq's shrine cities have shaped a recognisable recitation culture, and many of the voices best known internationally recite in Iraqi Arabic.
Language notes
The Adhan itself is in classical Arabic. What varies regionally is the recitation style and the dialect of the surrounding devotional repertoire, not the text of the call.
