This mosque is one of the cheapest markets here in Madinah it was named in honour of Bilal ibn Rabah رضي الله عنه, the very first mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) in Islam. Bilal was a freed slave whose powerful voice became the sound of the adhan in the earliest days of the Muslim community. His legacy is so deep that his name still carries weight across the entire Muslim world today. But here's where it gets interesting: despite what many visitors assume, there isn't strong historical evidence directly linking this exact spot to a major event in Bilal's own life. So why does this mosque draw so many people? The answer is hidden right beneath your feet. Underneath Masjid Bilal sits one of the cheapest markets in Madinah — a budget shopping spot packed with affordable gifts, souvenirs, and everyday bargains that most pilgrims never even realise is there. If you're visiting on a tight budget or hunting for gifts to bring home, this is a place worth knowing about. And before you go — a question for the true history lovers. 🤔 Bilal رضي الله عنه was NOT the only mu'adhdhin during the time of Nabi ﷺ. There was a second beloved companion who called the adhan in Madinah, especially during Ramadan. The famous narration in Sahih Bukhari even mentions both of them: "Bilal calls the adhan at night, so keep eating and drinking until Ibn Umm Maktum calls the adhan."
