BISMILLAHARRAHMANARRAHIM
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah's Apostle said, "Whenever you hear the Adhan, say what the Mu'adhdhin is saying. [Al-Bukhari].
So, when the muadhin (caller to prayer) is pronouncing the Adhaan, you’re supposed to repeat what he says. But when he says ‘hayya alas-salah‘ and ‘hayya alal-falah‘, say: ‘la hawla wala quwwata illa billah‘.
 
It is commonly said, “If my deed is in accordance with Allaah’s destiny, why should I then be punished for my sins.”
One cannot use destiny as a justification for disobedience to Allaah. Allaah did not force the individual to commit his sins. When you set out to commit a sin, you didn't have knowledge that it was destined for you, because a human being does not know what is destined for him until it takes place. Why didn't you think that Allaah had destined obedience and righteousness for you and do that instead? Just as you strive in this material life to do what you consider to be good and best for you; why don’t you treat the affairs of the next life the same way? Even if human beings had an argument with regards to destiny and their acts of disobedience, that argument is invalidated by the fact that Allaah has sent messengers and prophets so that there would not be any arguments, as Allaah said: “…Messengers who gave good news as well as warning, that humanity, after (the coming) of the messengers, should have no argument against Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Powerful, Wise.” Soorah an-Nisaa [4:165]
