Dear Brothers, why havent you accepted the beautiful religion of Islam yet? No, not that black panther nation of islam garbage, but true Islam, the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). Many of you adhere to Christianity, a religion that was forced upon you by your slave masters. Have you noticed there is NO mention of any black men in Christianity? One of the most important figures in Islam was an African man. So lets look at a brief summary of the life of Bilal, the first black man to come to Islam. Bilal ibn Rabah[3] Arabic: بلال بن رباح (580–640 AD) also known as Bilal al-Habashi, Bilal ibn Riyah, and ibn Rabah was one of the most trusted and loyal Sahabah (companion) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was born in Mecca and is considered as the first muezzin, chosen by Muhammad himself.[1][4][5] Born as a slave, Bilal was among the emancipated slaves freed by Abu Bakr due to the Islamic teachings of slavery (see Muhammads views on slavery). He 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. Bilal ibn Rabah, rose to a position of prominence in Islam. His respected stature during the birth of Islam is often cited by Muslims as evidence of the importance of pluralism and racial equality in the foundations of the religion
