Stories of Sahabah: Bilaal Ibn Rabaah | |||||
|
His torturers shouted at him, imploring him, "Mention the name of Al-Laat and Al-'Uzzaa." But he answered, "One...One" They said to him, "Say as we say." But he answered them with remarkable mockery and caustic irony, "Indeed my tongue is not good at that." Bilaal remained in the melting heat and under the weight of the heavy rock, and by sunset they raised him up and put a rope around his neck. Then they ordered their boys to take him around the mountains and streets of Makkah. And Bilaal's tongue did not mention anything other than his holy chant, "One...One." This had become the motto that the Messenger (PBUH) ordered to be during the battle of Badr. Bilaal Ibn Rabaah was an Abyssinian from the black race. His destiny made him a slave of some people of the tribe of Jumah in Makkah, where his mother was one of their slave girls. He led the life of a slave whose bleak days were alike and who had no right over his day and no hope for his tomorrow. The story of how Bilaal was tortured has been one of my favourite stories of the Sahaba which had always brought me to tears. His strength to grasp tightly his own belief brings about more strength and courage for me to do the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m9cOWsxve4 Labels: Stories of Sahabah
