Abu Talib was a good man and,
even though not a Muslim, he was
always by the side of his nephew,
Muhammad [s].
For forty long years he had protect-
ed the Prophet [s] and he oftentimes
put himself into grave danger to do
this. Even though he had to under-
go great difficulty he never once
turned his back on the Prophet [s].
The Holy Prophet Muhammad [s]
loved his uncle dearly and he
wished for nothing more than that
his uncle proclaim the
shahadah
and embrace Islam. Every time the
Prophet [s] pleaded with his uncle,
“
O My dear uncle believe that their
is no god except Allah and that I am
his messenger
,” Abu Talib would
smile back at his nephew and say
softly, “
But you know that I cannot
leave the religion of my forefathers
.”
