Bilal Ibn Rabah in the Black Religious Tradition

Bilal Ibn Rabah and the Black Religious Tradition 

From Malcolm X, Imam Warrith Deen Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan, the narrative of Bilal Ibn Rabah continues to have a momentous influence upon black religious leaders.  The story of a former slave who proclaimed the unity of God under the most tumultuous conditions resonates deeply with the black descendants of slaves in the western hemisphere. Black Muslims have historically looked upon Bilal for perseverance, endurance, and strength.

Bilal Ibn Rabah: May Allah be pleased with him.
