This is the first part of a biography in Tamil about Bilal ibn Rabah (R), a significant figure in early Islam. The text recounts Bilal's life, starting with his African origins and enslavement in Mecca. It details his conversion to Islam, his subsequent torture by his master, Umayya ibn Khalaf, for refusing to renounce his new faith, and his eventual liberation by Abu Bakr (RA). A central theme is Bilal's unwavering faith and resilience in the face of extreme persecution. The excerpt culminates in the Battle of Badr, where Bilal identifies and participates in the killing of his former tormentor, Umayya, highlighting the triumph of justice and the strength of the early Muslim community.
