Hazrat Bilal ibn Rabah (R.A) was an Abyssinian slave who embraced Islam early and endured severe persecution for his faith. After the migration to Madina, when the institution of Adhan was established, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) personally chose Hazrat Bilal for this honor due to his powerful and melodious voice. He became the first official mu'azzin and continued to call the Adhan throughout the Prophet's lifetime, making him one of the most beloved and respected companions in Islamic history.
The Adhan was legislated in the first year after Hijrah in Madina. The words of the Adhan were seen in a dream by Hazrat Abdullah bin Zaid (R.A) and were approved by the Prophet (PBUH). Hazrat Bilal (R.A) was also known as the treasurer of the Prophet (PBUH) and was given the glad tidings of Paradise during his lifetime. He was one of the earliest converts to Islam and among the Ashra Mubashra.
