This martyrdom enabled him to erase the burdens of his association with falsehood in the past. Thus, it overflowed with devotion to His religion, His Prophet SAW and to a memorable martyrdom in the way of the truth. Let us begin from that glorious moment when his heart was affected by Allah and his spirit was blessed by the Most Merciful. Let us then begin with that part of his life which he himself loved most. He was the deadly enemy of Muslims in the Battle of Uhud and the deadly enemy of the enemies of Islam in the remaining Muslim battles. For ease of reading, we have not inserted “May Allah be pleased with him (RA)” each time his name or the name of each Companion is mentioned, but please take it that the salutations apply to all of them, may Allah be pleased with them all. It is not intended to be a biography, but rather a glimpse of the main incidents of his life so that we can get an idea of his character.
