Hazrat Bilal (R.A) was an Abyssinian slave owned by Umayyah bin Khalaf, a staunch enemy of Islam. When Bilal (R.A) accepted Islam, Umayyah subjected him to brutal torture, dragging him on hot sand and placing heavy stones on his chest to force him to renounce his faith. Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) eventually purchased and freed Bilal (R.A), who later became the first Mu'azzin (caller to prayer) of Islam.
Umayyah bin Khalaf was a prominent Quraysh chieftain of the Banu Jumah clan and one of the fiercest opponents of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He was killed during the Battle of Badr by his own former slave, Hazrat Bilal (R.A), along with other companions. Hazrat Bilal (R.A) is renowned for his unwavering faith and his beautiful voice that called the first Adhan in Islamic history.
