Hadrat Bilal R.A : The glittering star of Islam

When the name of reputed Sahaba of Islam is counted, hadrat Bilal R.A. name comes among them. He was among those glittering stars of Islam who not only stood steadfast in the path of Allah but also gained the reputation of being the dear muezzin of Prophet S.a.

Hazrat Bilall R. A is one of the best known of the bunch of Shabah as muezzin of prophet’s s.a Mosque.

Before he joined Islam, he was an Abyssinian slave who was an Idolater. His coming into the fold of Islam was obviously not liked by his disbeliever master. And he was therefore, tortured mercilessly by Umaiya Bin khalaf who was the cruel enemy of Islam , would make him lie down on the burning sand at Mid-day day and would place a heavy stone on his chest so that he could not even move a limb. HE would then say to him “Renounce Islam or swelter and die“. Even this afflictions bilal R. A would exclaim “ Ahad- The One Allah. Ahad- The one Allah”. He was shipped at night and with the cuts thus received, made to lie on the burning ground during the day to make him either forsake Islam or to die a lingering death from wounds. The torturers would get tired and take turns Abuzahal , umaya and others. And vie with one another in afflicting more and more painful punishment, but Hazrat bilal R.a Would not yield.

At last Abu Bkara r.a bought his freedom and he became a free Muslim. As Islam taught implicitly the oneness of the almighty creator. While the idolators of Mecca believed in many Gods and Goddess with minor Godling. Therefore Bilal R.a repeat “Ahad –the one , Ahad –the one”.

Its clear how he loved Allah and how rock solid his Imaan was. Allah was so dear to him that no amount of persectucation cold distracts him from reciting his holy name. It’s said that the urchins of Mecca would drag him in the streets with his words, “Ahad , Ahad (the one )” ringing in their wake.

Look how Allah rewarded his steadfastness. He was to have the honor of becoming the prophet’s Muezzin. He was always to remain with him at home and abroad to call out very hard from him to continue his stay in Medina. Where he would miss him at every step and in every corner. He there for left Medina, and decided to pass the rest of His life in striving in the path of Allah.

Once he beheld the prophet, s.a. n his dream saying to him, “O Bilal how is it that you never visit me.” No sooner did he get the he set out for madina. On reaching there hadrat Hassan and hadrat Husain R.a. The prophet’s s.a grand sons requested him to cal out the Azzan.

He could not refuse them for they were very dear to him. But as soon as Azzan was called, the peoples of Madina, cried openly out of their anguish at the memory of the happy old days of the prophet s.a time. Even the women came out of their houses weeping. Hadrat Bilal left Madina again after a few days and died in Damascus in 20 A.h

From the life of Bilal R.A. It’s clear that If Allah bless with his mercy, no enemy of the world can budge him from the path of Islam.
