MCQ Detailed View

Before embracing Islam, Hazrat Bilal (R.A) was a slave under the ownership of Ummayia bin Khalaf, a prominent leader of Quraysh known for his cruelty and fierce opposition to Islam. When Hazrat Bilal (R.A) accepted the message of Islam, Ummayia subjected him to brutal torture in an attempt to force him to abandon his faith. He was dragged through the burning sands of Makkah, whipped, and crushed under heavy stones.

Despite this torment, Hazrat Bilal (R.A) remained steadfast, repeatedly proclaiming “Ahad, Ahad” (One, One), affirming the Oneness of Allah. His unwavering faith became a symbol of strength, devotion, and resistance against tyranny in Islamic history.

Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (R.A) later purchased Hazrat Bilal’s freedom and liberated him for the sake of Allah. Hazrat Bilal (R.A) went on to become one of the closest companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the first official Muazzin (caller to prayer) of Islam. His legacy is remembered with honor for his sacrifice and steadfastness in the face of persecution.
