From Shackles to the Minaret

The Legacy of Bilal
The story of Bilal ibn Rabah رضي الله عنه is one of resilience, faith, and honor. Once a slave under brutal oppression, he rose to become the first mu’adhin of Islam, his voice echoing across Madinah, calling believers to prayer. His legacy is not only a symbol of liberation but a powerful reminder of the dignity that Islam grants every soul.
