The Quran describes the steps of ablution, but it does not set any repetition, which suggests that this detail may not be important.

In that case, why continue to follow hadiths that add this kind of precision? It seems to make the practice more restrictive, even though the Quran presents it as something simple. If these additions are not clearly obligatory in the Quran, why give them so much importance?

Why consider wudu to be a form of spiritual purification? It can also be seen as a simple matter of hygiene, meant to avoid disturbing others during prayer, especially because of odors or dirt. From this perspective, it appears more like cleanliness and respect toward others than true spiritual purification. So why insist on that spiritual dimension?

While researching, I came across several hadiths that mention the circumstances of its establishment during the time of the Prophet, particularly in connection with the early Muslim community in Medina. However, it also seems widely accepted that the way the adhan is performed may have evolved over time, depending on regions, traditions, or schools of thought. It is even possible that the adhan never existed exactly as we know it today.

What I find particularly intriguing is the wording and the manner in which the call to prayer was actually performed during the Prophet’s time.

Were the words strictly identical to those we know today, especially considering that “Allahu akbar” may have been used only several years after the Prophet’s death?

Were the structure and repetitions already established?

Are there reliable sources that precisely describe the “original” adhan?

Thank you in advance for your insights.
