--> 00:03:38.689 When the sun was in the middle, they would appear to the sky 00:03:38.689 --> 00:03:41.689 The sands of Mecca burned with redness 00:03:41.689 --> 00:03:43.689 They take off their clothes 00:03:43.689 --> 00:03:46.689 They wear iron armor 00:03:46.689 --> 00:03:49.689 They melt them with the blazing rays of the sun 00:03:49.689 --> 00:03:52.689 They lash their backs with whips

energies could not bear it 00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:04.780 They respond to what they want from them 00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:07.780 Their hearts are attached to God and His Messenger 00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:11.780 Except Bilal, may God be pleased with him 00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:15.780 His soul was easy for him in the name of God Almighty 00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:18.819 He was the one who tortured him 00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:22.819 Umayyah bin Khalaf and his companions 00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:25.850 They were whipping his back 00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:28.850 Someone says, someone 00:04:28.850 --> 00:04:31.850 They put rocks on his chest 00:04:31.850 --> 00:04:33.850 Someone calls someone 00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:36.850 They attack him harshly 00:04:36.850 --> 00:04:38.850 Someone shouted 00:04:38.850 --> 00:04:42.980 They used to carry him in remembrance of God and glory 00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:44.980 So he remembers God and His Messenger 00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:48.009 And they say to him, “Say as we say.” 00:04:48.009 --> 00:04:52.009 He answers them, “My tongue is not good at it.” 00:04:52.009 --> 00:04:54.139 They will hurt him 00:04:54.139 --> 00:04:56.139 They are trying to torture him 00:04:56.139 --> 00:05:00.230 The mighty tyrant was Umayyah ibn Khalaf 00:05:00.230 --> 00:05:02.230 If he gets tired of torturing him 00:05:02.230 --> 00:05:05.230 A thick rope was tied around his neck 00:05:05.230 --> 00:05:08.230 And I hand him over to the fools and the children 00:05:08.230 --> 00:05:11.230 He ordered them to circumambulate the streets of Mecca with him 00:05:11.230 --> 00:05:14.230 And to drag him into its lowest parts 00:05:14.230 --> 00:05:17.259 It was Bilal, may God be pleased with him 00:05:17.259 --> 00:05:21.259 He is tormented by torment for the sake of God and His Messenger 00:05:21.259 --> 00:05:24.259 He always repeats his supreme anthem 00:05:24.259 --> 00:05:27.259 One one one one 00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:30.259 He never gets tired of repeating it 00:05:30.259 --> 00:05:32.259 He can't get enough of singing it 00:05:32.259 --> 00:05:36.519 Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, presented it to him 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.519 Umayyah bin Khalaf must buy it from him 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.519 It is more expensive 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.519 He thinks that Abu Bakr will not take him 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.519 So he bought it from him for nine ounces of gold 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.519 Amit said to him after the deal was completed 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.519 If I refused to take it except for an ounce, I would sell it 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.519 The friend said to him 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.519 If I had refused to sell it for more than a hundred, I would have bought it 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.839 And when the friend told the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.839 Bilala bought it 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.839 And save him from the hands of his tormentors 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.839 The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.839 Company, Abu Bakr 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.839 That is, share it with me 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.839 The friend, may God be pleased with him, said to him 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.839 I freed him, O Messenger of God 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.129 And when God permitted His Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:06:28.129 --> 00:06:30.129 By migrating to the city 00:06:30.129 --> 00:06:33.129 Hajar Bilal, may God be pleased with him 00:06:33.129 --> 00:06:35.129 In a sentence from Hagar 00:06:35.129 --> 00:06:38.129 He, Al-Siddiq, and Amir bin Fahr came down 00:06:38.129 --> 00:06:40.129 In one house 00:06:40.129 --> 00:06:42.129 They all got fever 00:06:42.129 --> 00:06:45.129 When Bilal had a fever, his fever was gone 00:06:45.129 --> 00:06:47.129 He raised his voice 00:06:47.129 --> 00:06:50.129 And he began to chant in his sweet voice, saying: 00:06:50.129 --> 00:06:54.129 Don't you know if you spent the night? 00:06:54.129 --> 00:06:57.129 With a trap and around Idhkhar and Jalil 00:06:57.129 --> 00:07:01.129 Will I ever want their water to be a paradise? 00:07:01.129 --> 00:07:04.129 Does it look like a mole or a parasite to me? 00:07:04.129 --> 00:07:09.290 It is no wonder that Bilal yearns for Mecca and its people 00:07:09.290 --> 00:07:12.290 I miss its valleys and mountains 00:07:12.290 --> 00:07:15.290 There he tasted the sweetness of faith 00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:18.290 There he endured torment at the side of God 00:07:18.290 --> 00:07:22.290 There he defeated himself and Satan 00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:27.740 Bilal settled in Yathrib, out of reach of Rish 00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:33.740 He devoted himself to his Prophet and beloved Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him 00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:36.740 He would go out with him every morning 00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:39.740 And it will come back with him if he returns 00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:41.740 And he prays with him when he prays 00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:44.740 And he will fight with him if he invades 00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:47.740 Until it became more important to him than his shadow 00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:53.740 When the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, built his mosque in Medina 00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:58.740 The call to prayer was performed. Bilal was the first muezzin in Islam 00:07:58.740 --> 00:08:00.930 When he finished the call to prayer, he would recite the call to prayer 00:08:00.930 --> 00:08:04.930 He stood at the door of the Prophet’s house, peace and blessings be upon him 00:08:04.930 --> 00:08:09.930 He said, “Live to prayer, live to the farmer.” 00:08:09.930 --> 00:08:14.019 When the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, left his room 00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:19.279 Bilal saw him coming and began to stay 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:24.279 Al-Najashi, King of Abyssinia, presented the gift to the Great Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.279 Three short spears 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.279 Of the precious things that kings own 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.279 So he kept one of them for himself 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.279 He gave Uri bin Abi Talib one 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.379 He gave Omar bin Al-Khattab one 00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:42.379 Then he singled out his spear for Bilal 00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:47.379 So Bilal started running with it in his hands all the days of his life 00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:52.379 He used to carry it on the two Eids and during rain prayers 00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:56.379 He places it in front of him if prayer is performed in a place other than the mosque 00:08:56.379 --> 00:09:00.570 Bilal witnessed with Nabih Badr 00:09:00.570 --> 00:09:03.570 I see with his eyes how God fulfilled His promise 00:09:03.570 --> 00:09:05.570 And the victory of his army 00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:10.570 The wrestler witnessed the tyrants who were torturing him 00:09:10.570 --> 00:09:13.570 He saw Abu Jahl and Umayyah bin Khalaf 00:09:13.570 --> 00:09:16.570 Two deaths struck by Muslim swords 00:09:16.570 --> 00:09:20.570 Their blood drips from the spears of the tortured 00:09:20.570 --> 00:09:25.980 When the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, entered Mecca as a conqueror 00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.980 At the head of his green battalion 00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:31.980 With him was the supplicant of heaven, Bilal bin Rabah 00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:35.179 When he entered the Kaaba 00:09:35.179 --> 00:09:39.179 There were only three men with him 00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:41.179 They are Othmal bin Talha 00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:44.179 Holder of the keys of the Holy Kaaba 00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:46.179 And Osama bin Zaid 00:09:46.179 --> 00:09:49.179 Love of the Messenger of God and his love 00:09:49.179 --> 00:09:51.179 And Bilal bin Rabah 00:09:51.179 --> 00:09:53.340 Muezzin of the Messenger of God 00:09:53.340 --> 00:09:55.340 When the noon prayer came 00:09:55.340 --> 00:10:01.340 Thousands of people surrounded the Great Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him 00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:06.460 Those who converted to Islam were among the infidels of Quraysh, willingly or unwillingly 00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:09.460 They witness that big scene 00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:15.529 Then the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, called Bilal bin Rabah 00:10:15.529 --> 00:10:18.529 He ordered him to climb on top of the Kaaba 00:10:18.529 --> 00:10:21.529 And to announce above it the word of monotheism 00:10:21.529 --> 00:10:24.529 Bilal was shocked by the matter 00:10:24.529 --> 00:10:27.529 He sent his loud voice to announce the call to prayer 00:10:27.529 --> 00:10:31.529 Thousands of necks extended towards him, looking at him 00:10:31.529 --> 00:10:36.529 Thousands of tongues echoed behind him in reverence 00:10:36.529 --> 00:10:39.820 As for those in whose hearts is disease 00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:43.820 Envy began to eat away at their hearts 00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:47.820 And the grudge tore their hearts apart 00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:52.039 As soon as Bilal reached the call to prayer, he said it 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.039 I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.139 Until Juwayriyah bint Abi Jahl said: 00:10:58.139 --> 00:11:02.330 By my life, God has raised your mention to you 00:11:02.330 --> 00:11:04.330 As for prayer, we pray 00:11:04.330 --> 00:11:08.330 But by God, we do not like killing our loved ones 00:11:08.330 --> 00:11:11.330 Her father was killed in Badr 00:11:11.330 --> 00:11:14.419 Khalid bin Awsid said 00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:17.419 Praise be to God who honored my father 00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:19.419 He did not witness this day 00:11:19.419 --> 00:11:23.419 His father had died one day before the conquest 00:11:23.419 --> 00:11:25.490 Al-Harith bin Hisham said 00:11:25.490 --> 00:11:27.490 Wow 00:11:27.490 --> 00:11:31.490 I wish I had died before I saw Bilal above the Kaaba 00:11:31.490 --> 00:11:34.649 Al-Hakam bin Abi Al-Aas said: 00:11:34.649 --> 00:11:36.649 This, by God, is a big mistake 00:11:36.649 --> 00:11:41.649 To become a slave of Banu Jamh braying over this structure 00:11:41.649 --> 00:11:44.809 Abu Sufyan bin Harb was with them 00:11:44.809 --> 00:11:48.809 He said: As for me, I don't say anything 00:11:48.809 --> 00:11:50.809 If I had uttered a word 00:11:50.809 --> 00:11:55.809 These shares were transferred to Muhammad bin Abdullah 00:11:55.809 --> 00:12:02.000 Bilal continued to recite the call to prayer to the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, throughout his life 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.029 The Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, remained 00:12:06.029 --> 00:12:14.029 He feels this voice, which God punished most severely, as it repeats “Ahad Ahad”. 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:21.159 When the greatest Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, moved to the highest companion 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.159 And it's time to pray 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.159 Bilal stood up to give the call to prayer to the people 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:32.289 The Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, is lying in state and has not been buried yet 00:12:32.289 --> 00:12:34.289 When he reached his statement 00:12:34.289 --> 00:12:38.289 I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God 00:12:38.289 --> 00:12:40.289 The lessons choked him 00:12:40.289 --> 00:12:43.289 His voice got stuck in his throat 00:12:43.289 --> 00:12:45.289 Muslims were crying 00:12:45.289 --> 00:12:47.289 They drowned in wailing 00:12:47.289 --> 00:12:51.419 Then he gave permission for three days 00:12:51.419 --> 00:12:58.539 Whenever he reached his saying, “I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God,” he cried and cried 00:12:58.539 --> 00:13:05.539 Then he asked Abu Bakr, the successor of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:07.539 To exempt him from the call to prayer 00:13:07.539 --> 00:13:10.539 After he became unbearable 00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:13.539 Ask his permission to go out to jihad for the sake of God 00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:16.539 And stationed in the Levant 00:13:16.539 --> 00:13:21.539 The friend, may God be pleased with him, hesitated to respond to his request 00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:24.539 And permission for him to leave the city 00:13:24.539 --> 00:13:26.539 Bilal said to him 00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:29.539 If you bought me for yourself, hold me 00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:32.539 Even if you have freed me for God's sake 00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:35.539 So leave me to the one to whom you freed me 00:13:35.539 --> 00:13:37.669 Abu Bakr said 00:13:37.669 --> 00:13:40.669 By God, I only bought you for God 00:13:40.669 --> 00:13:43.769 I freed you only for His sake 00:13:43.769 --> 00:13:45.769 Bilal said 00:13:45.769 --> 00:13:48.769 I do not give permission to anyone after the Messenger of God 00:13:48.769 --> 00:13:50.799 Abu Bakr said 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.990 So 00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:58.990 Bilal left Medina with the first Muslim mission 00:13:58.990 --> 00:14:01.990 He resided in Daraya, near Damascus 00:14:01.990 --> 00:14:04.990 He kept holding back from the call to prayer 00:14:04.990 --> 00:14:08.990 Until Omar bin Al-Khattab came to the Levant 00:14:08.990 --> 00:14:13.990 Bilal, may God bless him and grant him peace, met him after a long absence 00:14:13.990 --> 00:14:16.990 Omar was very longing for him 00:14:16.990 --> 00:14:19.149 Great respect for him 00:14:19.149 --> 00:14:23.149 Even if he mentioned the friend in front of him, he would say: 00:14:23.149 --> 00:14:26.149 Abu Bakr is our master 00:14:26.149 --> 00:14:29.149 He is the one who freed our master 00:14:29.149 --> 00:14:32.309 I mean, Bilal, may God be pleased with him 00:14:32.309 --> 00:14:38.309 There, the Companions decided for Bilal to give the call to prayer in the presence of Al-Farouq 00:14:38.309 --> 00:14:41.309 As soon as his voice rose to the call to prayer 00:14:41.309 --> 00:14:43.309 Until Omar cried 00:14:43.309 --> 00:14:45.309 The companions cried with him 00:14:45.309 --> 00:14:48.340 Until their beards were soaked with tears 00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:53.340 Bilal aroused their longing for the times of Medina 00:14:53.340 --> 00:14:55.340 Watering her from the covenants 00:14:55.340 --> 00:14:58.539 And the caller of heaven remained 00:14:58.539 --> 00:15:00.539 He lives in the Damascus area 00:15:00.539 --> 00:15:03.629 Until his inevitable death 00:15:03.629 --> 00:15:07.629 His wife supported him by his side during his deathbed 00:15:07.629 --> 00:15:09.629 She shouts 00:15:09.629 --> 00:15:11.730 And they saddened him 00:15:11.730 --> 00:15:14.730 And he opened his eyes every time 00:15:14.730 --> 00:15:16.730 And he answers her by saying: 00:15:16.730 --> 00:15:18.730 And his joy 00:15:18.730 --> 00:15:21.730 Then he took his last breath while repeating 00:15:21.730 --> 00:15:23.730 Tomorrow we will meet our loved ones 00:15:23.730 --> 00:15:25.730 Muhammad and his companions 00:15:25.730 --> 00:15:27.730 Tomorrow we will meet our loved ones 00:15:27.730 --> 00:15:29.730 Muhammad and his companions 00:15:30.730 --> 00:15:36.019 Abu Bakr, our master 00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:39.019 And our master was freed 00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:41.149 I mean, Bilal 00:15:41.149 --> 00:15:45.730 Omar Al-Farouq, may God be pleased with him
