ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh
submits to disgraceetc.[196] Did you see how Abu Talib praised his nephew and what
high position that he found him in from among all the peoples? His nephew was the best
of the human beings whether in personality or lineage. He had the highest virtues if he
had been compared with the masters of mankind. Besides that he was the Prophet,
whom Allah had chosen to undertake His mission. He was assisted by the support of Allah.
He was the brave man, who would never submit or be weak before the distresses. He
was like the star, which lighted the way for those, who walked in the night towards their
rightful aims, and whose light would never be put out whatever storms blew. Abu Talib
praised his nephew in his poem with many qualities that Muhammad (s) had had like
glory, generosity, high morals, honored lineage, striving for the commonweal,
cheerfulnessetc. Such praise wouldnt be said by an uncle, an old man and a glorified
leader towards his nephew, who had been brought up by him and had been like his son,
unless there was a great faith that old man had in his nephews mission. This praise
wouldnt be said out of supporting the kinship. Certainly not! Abu Talib praised his
nephew in such a way because definitely he believed in Muhammad as a prophet of Allah
.not as a son of his brother Abdullah

spirit; sad because of what troubles would face this religion and its followers by those
beasts, and happy because he remained alive until he could offer his virtuous services
and could do his duties and believed in the religion that his father Abdul Muttalib had told
him about and recommended him to believe in, to follow and to support. It was time for
him to taste the sweetness of the fruits of his efforts and to gain the reward of his great
deedsbut Abu Talib, even he was dying, didnt forget to recommend of his nephew.
He ordered his sons and family around him to undertake this important task, which he
had undertaken alone. His eyes would be delighted for his brave family would never fail
the task whatever heavy it was. Among them was his son Ali; the first believer and the
only supporter! He would complete the task his father carried upon his shoulders. He
