First Muslim to announce the Call-to-Prayer in Islam (Athan

The Grave of the African Ex-Slave Bilal Ibn Rabah RA - the first Muslim to announce the Call-to-Prayer in Islam (Athan) - buried in Damascus - review and celebrate his legacy during Black History Month!

Islam honored the devotion of the ex-slave over its Messenger Muhammad PBUH by Allowing the ex-slave to enter Paradise even before the Holy Prophet PBUH!

How many of you ex-slaves out there are trying to receive similar honor by the Creator? But y'all don't hear me though!

"Abu Huraira reported that Allah’s Messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said to Bilal: “Bilal, tell me which act you did at the time of the morning prayer for which you hope to receive good reward, for I heard during the night the sound of your footsteps before me in Paradise?” Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) replied: “I did not do any act in Islam for which I hope to get any benefit, but this, that when I perform complete ablution during the night or day I observe prayer with that purification, what Allah has ordained for me to pray.” [Sahih Muslim]
