The Kuala Lumpur City Hall will review the Subuh prayer call after actor Datuk Mohammad Zalimei Ishak, known as Remy Ishak, asked on social media why he heard two azans before dawn.

Market Impact

According to the Threads post on Wednesday, Remy said he regularly hears the call at 5am in Jalan Ampang even though Subuh time begins at 6.01am. His question drew replies explaining that the first azan is a sunnah reminder to stop eating sahur, while the second marks the start of the obligatory prayer. The practice was introduced in Pahang in 2017 and later adopted in Kuala Lumpur.

KL City Hall’s media relations unit confirmed it had received the social media query and would assess the scheduling of the prayer calls. “We will study the matter and may adjust the timing if necessary,” a spokesman said. The spokesman did not say when a decision would be made or whether other mosques in the federal territory would be affected.

The exchange has prompted other users to share similar experiences of hearing two Subuh azans, suggesting the practice is now widespread in urban areas.
