Masjid Bilal (RA) - Madinah

Location and History

Masjid e Bilal (RA) (Mosque of Bilal) is a mosque located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, across the ring road, towards the south of and in close vicinity of Masjid e Nabwi (The Prophet (PBUH)’s Mosque).

This mosque is historically and religiously important to Muslims because it is named after Hazrat Bilal (RA), the first Muazzin, which is someone who calls to daily prayers in Islam, and was renowned for his voice. He was a former slave and was one of the close companions of the Prophet (PBUH).

Structure

There is a bustling market on the ground floor and also next to this mosque, which is crowded with worshippers and visitors alike. The shops here are more authentic and pocket friendly, which is why locals love to take an opportunity to visit and shop when visiting Masjid Bilal (RA).

While the ground floor is a market, the first floor of the mosque is a praying area.
