Description
The Faith of Abu Talib is a powerful defense of one of the most pivotal yet misunderstood figures in early Islamic history. As the uncle and guardian of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), Abū Ṭālib played an unmatched role in protecting the Messenger and preserving the divine message during its most vulnerable years. From the start of the prophetic mission to the year of his passing—marked by the Prophet himself as “the Year of Sorrow”—Abū Ṭālib stood as a barrier between Islam and its enemies.
This book draws on widely transmitted historical sources, poetry, and hadith to affirm Abū Ṭālib’s unwavering belief in the prophethood of Muhammad and his commitment to defending Islam. His powerful verses, preserved through tawatur (mass transmission), speak clearly of his recognition of the Prophet’s divine mission and his own deep faith. The testimonies of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them), particularly Imam Ali and the infallible Imams, remove all doubt, declaring that Abū Ṭālib’s faith surpassed that of all creation.
The book also addresses the controversy fueled by those who attempted to undermine his legacy, exposing the flawed motives behind these claims. With scholarly clarity and devotional reverence, it offers a conclusive rebuttal, restoring Abū Ṭālib’s rightful place as a foundational pillar in Islamic history.
Ideal for readers of Islamic history, theology, and lovers of the Prophet’s family, this book sheds light on a man whose silent strength upheld the dawn of revelation.
