This is a small booklet on the Biography of the noble companion Bilal bin Rabah compiled with an intention to gather for the Muslim reader an authentic compendium of narrations related to this very companion.It is indeed disappointing that in the absence of authentically established materials, Muslims are turning to false narratives and fictionally designed movies on the Seerah (biography) of the companion Bilal bin Rabah, disregarding the 'Islamic Principles' of verifying narrations or pieces of information before spreading them.This book is not an emotional narrative of the noble Sahabi's (companion of the Prophet) life, rather I've tried to gather as many authentic reports as possible related to Bilal's life alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It is up to the responsible reader to sit with a student of knowledge and derive benefits from the Ahadith (Hadiths) as and when necessary In Sha Allah in case he doesn't comprehend an issue. At times I have written summarized paragraphs to chalk out a background of the events surrounding a Hadith about Bilal's role in order to assist the readers' flow. I have tried to keep the 'summaries' as little as possible to avoid drifting away from the main 'protagonist' of this book, our own beloved Bilal bin Rabah . (pentopublish4)
