Note: Muezzin or Muazzin could be a chosen person at the mosque who leads the decision (Adhan) to Friday service and also the 5 daily prayers (Salat).
Following is that the ethical story of Islam's initial Muezzin, Hazrat Bilal's conversion to Islam
The other day, when he came back from the desert, the signs of tiredness were seen on his face. The black man place his knapsack down and wiped the beads of perspiration from his forehead. The air was stuffed with dirt churned up by the baaing sheep running towards the fold. The black man said to himself, "Now, maybe I will take a rest for a short while."
Since morning he had grazed the sheep underneath the recent sunshine of the Arabian desert and within the afternoon had determined to rest a number of minutes, however he couldn't. the warmth of the desert sand and sun wouldn't allow sleep.
He placed the sheep within the fold and visited the water well. simply as he was on the point of wash his face with the cool water, he heard loud shouts, shouts of his Master Umayyah ibn Khalaf ibn Safwan (Was a number one member of the Quraish and head of the of Bani Jumah) and others talking. Surely, one thing necessary went on that caused Master Umayyah ibn Khalaf to shout that way!
Although Hazrat Bilal (Radhiallahu Anhu) was from Abyssinia (Ethiopia), however he lived in Makkah. When Bilal Ibn Rabah was sold to Master Umayyah ibn Khalaf, he was solely alittle boy. Master Umayyah ibn Khalaf perpetually reminded him, "I am your owner, and you're my slave, you need to obey me as a result of your god has been made up of wood and mine is from gold. this is often the god's can." The shouting, cursing voice perpetually created unpleasant noise in his ears.
Hazrat Bilal (ra) washed his face, took his knapsack and began towards his area. His area was dark, four walls within the basement of the large, aristocratic house. Bilal al-Habashi had not reached his area nonetheless when he heard the shouts of his Master Umayyah ibn Khalaf raised once more.
The shouts continued. Hazrat Bilal (ra) needed to understand what was happening, however he was scared of obtaining shut enough to the Master's area to listen to what Master Umayyah ibn Khalaf was saying and why he was therefore angry. Yet, he was irresistibly drawn toward the space. Quietly, he stood at the door. Carefully, he listened to the speak, that continued, with solely occasional shouts from his Master Umayyah ibn Khalaf. He recognized the voices as those of the aristocrats of Makkah. The voice of Umayyah ibn Khalaf, who was a lot of nervous than the others, was raised once more.
Umayyah ibn Khalaf spoke with indignation, "We should not let Mohammad freely disturb town. Mohammad treated our idols with disrespect." Mohammad says, "There is barely one God and everyone should worship him." "Do you recognize what this means? It means I, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, the noble person of Makkah and Bilal al-Habashi, the ignorant black slave should have a similar god ... Is that possible?"
At a similar time, another aristocrat interrupted Umayyah ibn Khalaf's speech and said, "Our misfortune is simply too nice as a result of everyone is aware of him. Mohammad is well-known for truthfulness, innocence and trustworthiness."
Umayyah ibn Khalaf paused an instant and then said, "so we tend to are compelled to mention to folks Mohammad has become mad (Majnoon)."
The others admired the issue, that Umayyah ibn Khalaf instructed. All Masters accepted this suggestion and also the meeting ended. all of them got up to travel to their homes, however before they came out of the space, Bilal al-Habashi had gone to his area.
Bilal Ibn Rabah's area appeared to him darker and smaller than ever. Umayyah ibn Khalaf's words didn't bring tranquility to him for an instant. He thought of the prophet of God and ... "Do folks believe the aristocrat's words?" he asked himself. No ... No ... they might never settle for that. Mohammad (peace be upon him) is that the most innocent, trustworthy and most truthful man in Makkah. everyone is aware of him. When he says there's only 1 God and these idols don't seem to be god, he actually tells the reality. however why were solely the aristocrats and Masters scared of Mohammad's faith and his God?
That night Hazrat Bilal (Radhiallahu Anhu) thought abundant and he recognized such a lot of mysteries and will stay awaken till late.
First Muezzin of IslamThe following day, Bilal the Ethiopian heard that folks were talking regarding the madness of Mohammad (peace be upon him). Bilal the Ethiopian dared to talk many times to provide the folks understanding of who had scattered falsehood among them, however no one believed him.
The days passed one once another. each day there was news that another one added to Messenger of God, Mohammad's followers. And conjointly each day Bilal the Ethiopian heard regarding them that they were hurt or injured or killed.
Hazrat Bilal (Radhiallahu Anhu) became serious hearted. He wasn't able to do something regarding it and unhappiness turned to anger. over and over he told himself, "I can revenge these cruelties." Then it absolutely was reported that Ammar ibn Yasir's father (Yasir ibn Amir) and mother (Sumayyah bint Khabbab) had been martyred on the rock at the hands of Abu Jahl. (Note: the primary martyr in Islam was the recent lady Sumayyah bint Khabbab.)
Bilal al-Habashi knew Ammar ibn Yasir. He was one amongst the innocent and honest youth in Makkah. Bilal al-Habashi conjointly knew Abu Jahl, the Master of Ammar ibn Yasir o.k.. Abu Jahl was one amongst the aristocrats of Makkah who was famous for cruelty and meanness. however in spite of this, he couldn't force Ammar ibn Yasir to quit Messenger of God, Mohammad (peace be upon him) and his faith.
In spite of this despairing news, at some point Bilal al-Habashi, returning from the desert, reached his call. rather than about to Master's house, he went on to a house where Messenger of God, Mohammad (peace be upon him) dwelled. Messenger of God, Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) was a tall man, with a face shining with religion. When Bilal al-Habashi saw him, his heart became quiet. He felt that he had found his loss.
Holy Prophet Muhammad's (saw) words were therefore hope giving for Bilal al-Habashi that he didn't need to go away. He determined to become Muslim at the hands of Messenger of God, Mohammad (peace be upon him) and declared his submission to Islam.
These secret conferences underneath the quilt of darkness within the night continued, the words of Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) had modified Bilalal-Habashi utterly. He didn't have endurance to ascertain the idols anymore as a result of he had heard the reality from Messenger of God, Mohammad (peace be upon him) and currently he realized real God.
One morning, when Bilal al-Habashi left the house of Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), he visited Holy Kaaba and when no one was around. He checked out the idols kept within Holy Kaaba - the golden idols, the tiny wood idols and also the stone idols (Lat, Manat and Al-Uzza).
"Oh! You unable idols!" he shouted. "How are you able to defend yourselves? Woe is to me that I worshipped these idols and fell crying at their feet."
Later he moved forward and spat at the face of 1 massive idol and shouted, "oh, you unable god! you are doing not deserve worship! You become extinct some day. you are doing not deserve on behalf of me to pay my time with you during this manner!"
Hazrat Bilal (Radhiallahu Anhu) left Holy Kaaba and came to his master's house. When Bilal Ibn Rabah entered the house, he heard the shouts of Umayyah ibn Khalaf and his friends, however heedless of them, he visited his own area. For him nothing was a lot of pleasurable than to cherish, the One Who had given him the ability to curse the idols and spit on the large idol.
But within the area where Umayyah ibn Khalaf and his friends were sitting the door burst open and a person rushed into the space, went on to Umayyah ibn Khalaf and whispered one thing into his ear. Umayyah ibn Khalaf's face flushed red with anger.
"Are you certain you've got seen it exactly?" Umayyah ibn Khalaf asked the person.
"Yes, I am sure," was his reply.
"Have you seen him with Mohammad?" shouted Umayyah ibn Khalaf.
In a weak voice with head bowed, the person answered "yes, my master." Then pausing some moments, "And it's worse than that. I saw him spit on the large idol."
"His mouth can soon be an area for the snakes." Umayyah ibn Khalaf shouted, unable to regulate his rage.
Umayyah ibn Khalaf's friends were soon tuned in to the which means of those words as his shouts continued into the night. Next day Makkah's folks saw Umayyah ibn Khalaf and his friends drag the sure Bilal Ibn Rabah to town sq..
Bilal Ibn Rabah remained quiet with shining black eyes trying to the sky. All the folks - young and recent - followed them, anxious to understand what destiny was expecting Hazrat Bilal (Radhiallahu Anhu).
Tortures Inflicted by the QuraishThe sun had reached the center of the sky making beads of perspiration on the black, naked body of Bilal Ibn Rabah. The white of Bilal Ibn Rabah's eyes had become red from the warmth. He looked around at the folks that stared wide - eyed back at him. He fell on the recent sands. Umayyah ibn Khalaf dismissed the folks and with a fiery torch stood over his head. Bilal Ibn Rabah closed his eyes, that solely served to any infuriate Umayyah ibn Khalaf.
"Bilal," came the shout of Umayyah ibn Khalaf, "O' you unlucky slave, are you willing to repent, or do I burn your body by the fire?"
Bilal al-Habashi didn't answer. He didn't open his eyes. Umayyah ibn Khalaf's anger increased. He brought the torch forward to Bilal's body.
The stench of burning flesh permeated gradually to everybody's nostrils. Umayyah ibn Khalaf was shocked as he heard Bilal's resonant voice split the silence.
