Islamic Prayer Iqamah (Iqämah/Iqama)

Islamic Prayer Iqamah
After the Adhan; when the muslims are assembled at the place of worship, a second call (iqamah) is recited by one of the group. This signals the start of the congregational salah. It is similar to adhan except that it is recited faster but in a lower tone. 
Here are the words to the iqama:
اللهُ اكْبَرُ اللهُ اكْبَرْ
 Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
God is Great, God is Great
اَشْهَدُ اَن لَّا اِلَه اِلَّا لله اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَدًا رَّسُولُ الله
Ash-hadu allaa illaha ilAllah, - Ash-hadu anna Muhammadar Rasul-Allah
I bear witness that there is no God But Allah, - I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ
Hayya ‘alas salaah , - Hayya ‘alal falaah
Come to the prayer, - Come to the Success
قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ
 Qad qaamatis salaah, - Qad qaamatis salaah
The prayer is being established, - the prayer is being established 
اللهُ اكْبَرُ اللهُ اكْبَرْ
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
God is Great, God is Great

لَا اِلَهَ اِلَّا الله
La illaha il-Allah
There is no God But Allah

An-Nawawi's Fourty Hadeeth #4 Providence (SAAD AL GHAMIDI)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim (In the Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Kind). Hadith 4: Providence Abdullah ibn Masud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم -وَهُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ-: "إنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا نُطْفَةً، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يُرْسَلُ إلَيْهِ الْمَلَكُ فَيَنْفُخُ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ، وَيُؤْمَرُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ: بِكَتْبِ رِزْقِهِ، وَأَجَلِهِ، وَعَمَلِهِ، وَشَقِيٍّ أَمْ سَعِيدٍ؛ فَوَاَللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إلَهَ غَيْرُهُ إنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا إلَّا ذِرَاعٌ فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَدْخُلُهَا. وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَه...
