Bilal Ibn Rabah was an Ethiopian, born in Makkha in the late 6th century, sometime between 578 and 582. The Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) chose a former African slave Bilal as his muezzin, effectively making him the first muezzin of the Islamic faith. He was among the slaves freed by Abu Bakr and was known for his beautiful voice with which he called people to their prayers. He died sometime between 638 to 642, when he was just over sixty years old. He is said to have been one of the most trusted and loyal Sahaba (companion) of Muhammad and of Ali. His respected stature during the birth of Islam is often cited by Muslims as evidence of the importance of pluraism and racial equality in the foundations of the religion.
The four muezzin selected by Prophet Muhammad to call to prayer were Bilal ibn Rabah, Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum, Abu Mahdhurah, and Uthman ibn Talha. Bilal, a former slave, is most famously known as the first muezzin in Islam due to his melodious voice and strong faith. Each of these individuals played a significant role in the early Muslim community, helping to establish the practice of the adhan, or call to prayer. Their selections highlight the inclusivity and diverse backgrounds of the early Muslim followers.
