When the world tried to silence him, he spoke one word that echoed through history…

In this powerful true story from early Islam, Zaki, Suhail, and Noora explore the life of Bilal ibn Rabah, a man born into slavery who found the greatest freedom of all—faith in One God. As Bilal endures cruelty for his belief, he repeats a single word: “Ahad” (One). What does it mean to be truly free? And how can one voice make such a difference?

With humor, heart, and soaring sound design, this episode brings young listeners into the hot sands of Makkah and the unshakable courage of one of the Prophet’s most beloved companions.

🕊 Moral Theme: True freedom comes from faith in Allah, not from status or power.
