A part of people only know that Rasulullah S.A.W has a muadzin
and he is Bilal bin Rabah ra. But not only Bilal who becomes Rasulullahs Muadzin, there is other name and he is Abdullah bin Ummi-Maktum. Bilal and Abdullah have special time to do adzan, Bilal does adzan when time of tahajud and Abdullah does adzan when time of subuh is coming. Abdullah bin Ummi-Maktum is a best friend of Rasulullah. He is a part of as sabiqunal awwalun (the people who first embrace Moslem) and he is blind. Some people call him Umar or Amr, and Rasulullah S.A.W changes his name to be Abdullah. There is story about Abdullah bin Ummi-Maktum when he goes to Mosque. His foot stumbles the rock until he was fallen down, but he still goes to mosque. In other day, he meets someone and the person helps him to go mosque for some days. Abdullah asks to him about his name because he wants to pray for him, but the person doesnt want to tell his name. Then Abdullah says that he will not want to be helped by him again. Finally the person tells his name, and his name is Iblis. Abdullah is shocked and he asks to him why do you want to help me?. Iblis answers the question and he says You remember when your foot stumbles the rock but
you still go to mosque? In fact, Allah S.W.T has forgiven a half
your sins. I dont want if you fall down again then Allah S.W.T forgive the other of your sins. Accordingly, our business is vain. Beside of his distinction to be a Rasulullahs muadzin, he is also a trusted person of Rasulullah S.A.W. When Rasullah S.A.W does safar to battlefield, Rasulullah S.A.W promotes Abdullah bin Ummi-Maktum to be temporary mayor of Madinah for 13 times. Other his distinction is Allah S.W.T becomes witness that Abdullah bin Ummi Maktum is a person who loves Al-Quran and As-Sunnah so much. Rasulullah S.A.W has been reproved by Allah S.W.T because he more concerns to leaders of Quraisy than Abdullah bin Ummi Maktum who comes to be taught by Rasulullah S.A.W. Not because Rasulullah S.A.W doesnt respect to him, but Rasulullah S.A.W hopes benefit if leaders of Quraisy embrace Moslem. Apparently, it isnt right from the side of Allah S.W.T and Allah S.W.T guides Rasulullah S.A.W. The Story of Abdullah bin Ummi-Maktum when he comes to be taught by Rasulullah S.A.W is immortalized by Al-Quran in Surah Abasa 116. Abdullah bin Ummi-Maktum passes away as a person who is syahid death in battlefield against Persias army. His body is
found in battlefield while hugs the flag who is mandated to be
kept by him. Finally the muadzin goes home to Rahmatullah and passes away as a hero who against the nation of Persia. May Allah S.W.T accepts his Amals and places us and him into heaven.
