The First Adhan

When the Muslim community in Madinah grew, there was no way to tell everyone it was time to pray. The Prophet ﷺ gathered his companions, and the ideas of a flag, a horn and a bell were all turned down, until Abdullah ibn Zayd saw a dream in which an angel taught him the words of the Adhan. The Prophet ﷺ said it was from Allah and chose Bilal ibn Rabah, with his strong and beautiful voice, to call it.
