Why do dogs always bark and moan during Fajar adhan?
OP - February 16, 2014, 04:39 PM

This is a phenomena I have never seen an exception to. My mum says that during that time the evil djinns escape from the human habitats and are visible to the dogs, so they react in that manner. They can also sense danger and death. I am sure there must be some scientific explanation for that. Someone I know has told me that he and his friends saw a djinn and they went mad until the Fajr adhan was given. They survived the encounter. Again, there must be some logical explanation for this. Please help.

Are you for real?

What logical explanation do you want?

Everytime an icecream van drives past dogs bark. Same for fire engines and police cars. When fireworks are exploding dogs (who aren't petrified) bark loudly. I think the connection here is that SOME dogs bark when they hear a loud noise. The reason has less to do with Jinns and more to do with alerting them/others to danger or barking as a deterrent.

As to your friends encoutner...I don't know and I don't care. Everyone goes a little mad sometimes. No JInns were involved.

My aunt had a poodle that would always sing along to the theme tune of Coronation Street!

It's not SOME, it's ALL. Yes dogs do bark at loud noises but I hear them moan mostly when the hear that adhan. More moaning than barking. I just wanted some good explanation to show that religion has nothing to do with it, that's all.

Because the tones and timbre of the call is reminiscent of a dog or a wolf howling and the dogs respond by declaring their presence in their own territory. Also, I see no reason to suppose that dogs have any extra sense that we don't have beyond their especially keen sense of smell and noticeably better night vision.

As for your friends seeing a djinn and going mad; I think we can safely put that down to superstition and brainwashing from birth rather than anything supernatural.

This is a phenomena I have never seen an exception to. My mum says..............

hi Rubaya.., the better question to ask is, Why do dogs bark in the morning time? ., people mayt not have noticed but in villages roosters will do the same thing.

Dogs are very smart animals, These village dogs are just imitating dogs., well that adhan howling guy shout Quran in to loud speakers dogs imitate him.. It is early morning times., dogs are usually in a plying mood so they playfully bark ..

but let us not blame mothers and fathers for their innocence., they were just brain washed to believe in nonsense.

Why do dogs cry at the time of Fajr Azan? This is an incident that I've noticed very often.
Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. There are many wonders of Allah in His Creation. Dogs are among His Creatures. It is confirmed in a Hadith that dogs see what human beings cannot see.

Abu Dawud reported in his Sunan that Jabir Ibn Abdullah narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said:" If you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys by night, seek refuge in Allah, as they see what you cannot see". Albani and others classified this Hadith as authentic.
In Sahih Al Jamie', following the above Hadith is stated: ..'And reduce going out when it is quiet( when everybody is indoors at night time) as Allah diffuses by night what He wishes among His Creation, and lock your doors and mention the Name of Allah on them as Satan does not open a locked door on which the Name of Allah was mentioned.."

So, if we contemplate the words of this Hadith along with the words of the Hadith reported by Al Bukhari and Muslim narrated by Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), it could be possible to interpret the barking of dogs at Fajr time because they see the Satans flee away passing wind. Satans do not flee away at fajr Azan only, but they flee away at every Azan, as stated in the Hadith. However, the barking of dogs at Fajr time is more noticeable than other times, as this time is usually quiet.

This barking could also because of an ordinary reason as before Fajr there is usually no movement of people and it is quiet, but after Fajr there is a movement so dogs start to bark, because of the noise after the time of quietness. Moreover, the barking of dogs at the time of the Azan could be because of reasons other than what is mentioned. It is a matter of the Unseen on which one cannot be absolutely sure except if Allah informs us about it.
Allah knows best.

well hell with searching fools., those who are interested exploring further on why Muslim folks believe in such nonsense click this and read all links

Do you have any idea how sensitive dog ears are? They will be terrified/in pain when they hear that wailing. Have a look at them next time you're able. Loud noise, no clue where it's coming from, they are scared.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

In my home country, dogs bark during the night (because a lot of them are "homeless" and roam around the neighborhood having a "good time") while roosters call early in the morning, even though the occasional one can start in the middle of the night for whatever reason.

Yes, some dogs will be scared and whimper, others will react aggressively and howl or bark their defiance.

I have an explanation. Fajr is when the light is just beginning. Many wild creatures are most active at this time. When they start stirring, dogs start barking. When roosters crow, dogs start barking, when dogs hear other dogs, they continue the alarm.
The adhan also might be waking them up, hence the barking.
If by moaning, you mean howling, that is them trying to match the timbre of a noise they hear, probably the adhan, and again, this is a chain reaction.
Wolves howl more readily at certain times, and this is one of them. I live in wolf country.

This article from 'Psychology Today' may be of some help: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/canine-corner/201306/the-barking-dog-blues-why-dogs-bark-and-what-do-about-it

Quote
The most common form of barking is designed to sound the alarm or alert the pack. It really means something like "Rally around me and check this out! There may be a problem here!" It consists of bursts of two or three barks with a short interval between them. The dog simply wants the leader of the pack and the other pack members to observe what he has detected and make a decision as to the proper course of action.

OR...

The dogs may infact be announcing their own BARK TO PRAYER and informing other dogs and bitches that it's time for prayer.

It makes sense since dogs are always putting their head down and sticking their arses int eh air like the salat position.

And the CALL TO PRAYER does sound like a dog barking/wailing at times.

A less mystical explanation would be the noise pollution causing obvious unrest.

Observe dogs in a non muslim country.

Most don't usually bark during fajr time because there is no annoying azaan noise to disturb them.

You could blast any song at any time of the night and all the dogs in the neighborhood would start barking. Nothing supernatural about it.

In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living

Hell0 jrg.. welcome and greetings ., Not read much from you..

So you think dogs and roosters have to tell Muslim folks that tahajjud prayer time or Fajr ptayer time ?

Why? Muslims folks are not that bad that Dogs have to tell the time when to get up and when to pray. You know these dogs, rooster, birds and other animals such as human beings are making those morning noises much before the birth of Islam and much before the birth of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)., again welcome to CEMB

Because, like human beings, they hate being rudely woken up.
