Bilal Ibn Rabah

Bilal Ibn _____was originally a slave and was tortured for being Muslim.

I picked some aspects about Bilal from Bilal Ibn Rabah. We covered:

how he was tortured
how he became Muslim
how he was freed
how he was honored to pronounce the adhan
how Abdullah Ibn Zaid and Umar had the dream
where Bilal was originally from
the Makkans' reactions to him after the Day of Conquest
the other muaddhin
how he killed Omayya, his former master

I noticed them reading the book later on in the course of the next few days.

"Why do they do this when they make azan?" H asked, putting his hand behind his ears.

"Hmm..I don't know. That's a good question. Ask Abi."

We did ask him later that day. Being him, he answered,

"Because of you do this, no one can hear the azan," putting his hands over his mouth.

Jokes aside, we came to the conclusion;

"Maybe it's so that it won't hurt their ears because it's loud."

"You were right, H!" I said. H had guessed it earlier.
