Dear Brother,

If you're a Muslim just cause Bilal is going to be the first person to walk with Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessing on him), then I'm sorry to say you're in for the wrong reason. Sorry to tell you as well, that in all my years born as a Muslim, and studying in Muslim countries, and reading Islamic books and listening to Islamic tapes I have never heard that Sayed Bilal (radia allah anhu) is going to be the first person to enter heaven.

Sayed Bilal will be one of the first companions to enter heaven yes, as he is one of the first people to enter Islam not because he is black. But because he was a good Muslims ( a true believer, with true Muslim character).

Islam doesn't promote blacks over whites, nor whites over blacks, we are all equal.
So please people don't be fooled by those so called "Nation of Islam" lead by Farrakhan, because they do not belong to Islam or the true Islamic belief.
