This book introduces Muslim kids to a shining hero: Bilal ibn Rabah رضي الله عنه.
Tortured, isolated and persecuted under Meccan pagans, the dawn of Islam in the 7th century proved a grievous trial for the small band of believers that gathered around Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Of all those courageous pioneers, however, none suffered more than the enslaved yet triumphant individuals who embraced Islam.
Bilal, born in slavery to an African family, found the freedom he sought in Islam. But his master could not handle it and sought to force him to forsake his newfound faith. Undaunted, Bilal held fast and eventually became one of the Prophet's ﷺ most beloved companions - and the first muezzin to call Muslims to prayer!
