salaam,
the only diffrence between shia and sunni azaan is that we recite “Ash hadu anna Aliyyan waliyyu Allah”. Its not TOTALLY DIFFRENT as u think it is!
Whilst answering this question, it is befitting to consider the following points:
According to the Holy Qur`an, Ali (p) is mentioned as one of God’s chosen friends.
And likewise in the same verse, it declares his guardianship to the believers where it says:
“Only Ali is your wali and his apostle and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate whilst they bow (performing Ruku).
Both narrations from Sahih and Masaneed of the Sunnis have also mentioned that the holy verse was revealed regarding Ali (p).
Hassan bin Thabit said the following poem:
You are the one who helped the poor whilst bowing, may all the souls be ransomed for you, O best of the bowers.
Therefore God revealed the best guardianship to you and explained it in the clearly defined religious laws.
The honorable prophet said:
“Surely deeds are according to the intentions.”
i.e, the criteria and acceptance of any deed is related to one’s intention.
Thus, it is due to this, that the guardianship of Ali (p) is one of the fundamentals of which the Quran has also clearly testified, however the previous verse of the Holy Quran does not state it to be part of the Adhan although there is no prohibition to mention it, and is regarded in the same manner as bearing witness to the honorable prophet (p) and his messenger ship.
What is significant to mention here is the fact that if at all, adding a sentence in the Adhan is not recommended, and the Shia are criticized for this matter, then how can the following instances be justified:
According to reliable sources of history, “Hayya ala khairil amal” was, and still is part of the Adhan, whilst this practice was removed at the time of the second caliph ( thinking that people will no longer go towards ‘struggle’ by hearing that prayers is the best action.)
The phrase, “As-salatu Khairun min al-Noum”was not part of the Adhan during the prophet’s time and was added later on. Thus Shafe’e in his book “Al-om’says:
“I dislike to say “As-salatu……..” because Aba-Mahthoora (a narrator) didn’t mention in his narration.’
(Maidah: 55)
The sources that prove this revelation is unanimous, therefore, we shall only mention a few of the well-known ones.
