What is the term for the shorter call given immediately before congregational prayer begins, following the earlier Adhan?

ATakbir
BAdhan
CIqamah
DTalbiyah

Explanation

– Iqamah refers to the shorter call given immediately before congregational prayer begins, following the earlier Adhan, signaling to the assembled worshippers that the prayer is about to commence.
– This call closely mirrors the wording of the Adhan but is delivered in a more concise form, typically recited by the person leading the prayer or a designated caller.
– For exams, note that unlike the Adhan, which is meant to be heard by the broader community, the Iqamah is generally directed specifically at those already gathered for the prayer.
