- Bilal was a slave and would Shepard his master’s
sheep and camel for a food, few dates or old clothes. He was
a black man from Africa, Tall skinny and narrow shoulders
His mother and father were slaves; slaves of the day did not
have any rights, no past nor future, he was born a slave and
was to die a slave in position of his white master
He was tending a gathering in a house where Prophet Mohammad
(s) had come to preach the local people about Islam. Bilal
while serving the guests would listen to the word of Prophet
Mohammad (s) from the corner of the room.
Prophet Mohammad (s) would talk about equality under Islam
for Men and Women, He Would recite that there is no Rank,
Color and Race in Islam; all are equal in presence of God.
These words had an adverse affect on Bilal.
After the gathering ends, Bilal went to the Prophet and
presented all his questions to him, and after learning more
about Islam, He converts to Islam saying this is truly a
religion of God where all men are created equally. Words of
his conversion to Islam spreads and his master and other
slave owners are appalled at this news
His masters would rip his clothes off and lay him on the Hot
sand of the desert and two people would pick huge rocks and
place Hot rocks on his chest day after day for weeks in
order to change his faith and bring back to slavery but he
would not.
My tongue won’t allow me to say nothing but God in his
beautiful loud voice
He would be tight with ropes and drag him around town to
disgrace him and to show other slaves that this act would
not be tolerated. But Bilal did not give in; he kept saying
Ahaddun, Ahaddun…
Why are you trying to kill a man who has nothing but loves
for his God and his faith? Said Abubakr Siddiq (r), a
deciple of Prophet Mohammad (s).
Abubakr Siddiq (r) who had suffered similarly along with
Prophet Mohammad (s) bought Bilal for more than what slaves
were worth and Abubakr Siddiq (r) and Prophet Mohammad (s)
freed Bilal to practice his religion in peace.
Bilal was given the task of calling Muslims for prayer since
he was a gifted
God is Great
God is Great
God is Great
God is Great
I testify that there is no god but God
I testify that there is no god but God
I testify that Mohammad (s) is the Messenger of God
I testify that Mohammad (s) is the Messenger of God
Come to prayer Come to prayer
Come to Goodness Come to Goodness
God is great
God is great
There is no God But Allah
Bilal joints the Battle to drive unbelievers out of the House
God built by Prophet Abraham. Ibin Khalaf the man who would
place hot rocks in his chest stands face to face against him
in battle for Mecca. Bilal testifies that this man is the
enemy of Islam and I testify this with 100% knowledge that
hi is anti Islam. He draws his sword and battles his former
master to the death of Ibn Khalaf.
Mecca is captured and clears the House of God from any idols.
Prophet Mohammad (s) requests that Bilal get on the roof of
the Kaba (House of God) and call Muslims for prayer. Bilal
climbs to the roof and calls as Muslims gather for prayers
and five times a day there after until the death of Prophet
Mohammad (s).
Thereafter he goes to fight for the rights of Muslims and
fight for Islam. Who will call for prayer o Bilal said the
people of Mecca? I will call for no one but the Prophet say
Bilal and leaves. He Returns only at funeral of Abubakr
Siddiq (r) and for last time calls Muslims for prayer and
returns to his mission of spreading the word of God till the
day he dies.
