Riyah. Hazrat Bilal belongs to the tribe of Banu Jumah (one of
quraysh tribe). At that time it was considered that the people of Banu
Hashim were experts in palmistry.
Relationship with Holy Prophet ‫ﷺ‬
Hazrat Bilal was a slave who converted to Islam during the early days
of the religion. He was freed by the prophet Muhammad and became
one of his closest companions. Hazrat Bilal played an important role in
the early Islamic community and was known for his beautiful voice. He
was appointed as the first muazzin (caller to prayer) by the prophet
and he served in this role for many years. The prophet had a strong
bond with Hazrat Bilal and treated him as a close friend and
companion. He was the most trusted and loyal Sahabah of prophet
Muhammad‫ﷺ‬.
Account of the Acceptance of Islam
When Prophet Muhammad announced his prophet hood and started to
preach the message of Islam, Hazrat Bilal renounced Idol worship,
becoming one of the earliest convert of Islam. When his slave master
found out, he began to torture Hazrat Bilal. After the News of his
Persecution reached Hazrat Abu Bakr, he bought him from his slave
master and gave him freedom.
His Role In Events Before Migration
When Bilal's (R.A.) master, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, found out about his conversion to
Islam, he began to torture Bilal (R.A.) so that he renounce slam and return back to his
old religion i-e worshiping idols. But Bilal (R.A.) refused to renounce Islam. His master
Umayyah and other infidels used to take him out in the midday heat when the desert
turned to a fatal hell. Then they would throw him naked on its scorching rocks and
bring a burning hot rock, which took several men to lift from its place, and throw it
onto Bilal’s (R.A.) body and chest. This savage torture was repeated every day until
the hearts of some of his executioners took pity on him. Finally, they agreed to set
him free on condition that he would speak well of their gods/idols, even with only one
word that would allow them to keep their pride so that the Quraish would not say
they had been defeated and humiliated by the resistance of their persevering
slave. But even this one word, which he could eject from outside his heart and with it
buy his life and soul without losing his faith or abandoning his conviction, Bilal (R.A.)
refused to say and began to repeat his lasting chant instead: “Ahad Ahad" (Allah is
absolute/one).

migrated from Makkah to Madinah. After reaching Madinah, Bilal
(R.A.) lived in the same house with Abu Bakr (R.A.) and Amir bin
Fahria (R.A.).  When the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬established the bond of

declared brothers unto each other.

the Messenger of Allah ‫ﷺ‬, witnessing all the battles with him
including Battle of Badr, Battle Of Ohud, Battle Of Trench and
others. In the Battle of Badr, he killed his former master, Umayyah

tears began to roll freely down his cheeks.  He managed to finish the rest
of the Adhan in a low voice.  After that, Bilal (R.A.) stopped calling the
Adhan in Madinah. after the death of Prophet (S.A.W.). Bilal (R.A.), who felt
oppressed in Madinah without the Prophet (S.A.W.), went to Abu Bakr (R.A.)
and requested him that he wanted to join the Muslim Army who were
