Hazrat Hamza (R.A), the paternal uncle of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), was appointed as the first flag bearer (standard-bearer) of Islam. He carried the banner in the first major military encounter of Islam. The role of flag bearer was one of great honor and responsibility, as the flag represented the unity and morale of the Muslim army. Hazrat Hamza (R.A) was famously known as "Asadullah" (the Lion of Allah) for his extraordinary bravery and was martyred in the Battle of Uhud.
Hazrat Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (R.A) was the foster brother of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as they were both nursed by Halima Saadia. He embraced Islam in the 6th year of Prophethood after being angered by Abu Jahl's mistreatment of the Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) gave the first flag of Islam to Hazrat Hamza (R.A) when he sent him on an expedition to intercept a Quraysh caravan at Al-Ees. He was given the title "Sayyid-ush-Shuhada" (Chief of the Martyrs) after his martyrdom at Uhud.
