Some streets, squares should be named after Abu Talib (a.s.): Ayatlloah Hakim’s Representative

In addition to the faith of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), even his human activities before and after Islam have been ignored, and this is a double injustice against this noble man.

Some streets, squares should be named after Abu Talib (a.s.): Ayatlloah Hakim’s Representative

A group of the organizers of the “International Conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.); Supporter of the Great Prophet (p.b.u.h)” met and talked to the representative of Grand Ayatollah Hakim in Qom.


In the meeting, appreciating the holding of the international conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), Hojat al-Islam Sayed Riyad Hakim said, “This conference is very important because he is one of the great figures of Islam who is unjustly oppressed and unknown.”


According to Hawzah News, the teacher of at the Islamic Seminary of Qom stated, “In addition to the faith of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), even his human activities before and after Islam have been ignored, and this is a double injustice against this noble man.”


“Knowing his personality requires academic and research efforts. To achieve this, it is appropriate for conference organizers, in collaboration with universities, to encourage students to submit dissertations related to Abu Talib’s personality and life”, Hakim added.


“What is important in the conference is to benefit from the works of Sunnis and especially non-Muslim thinkers. Because when a non-Muslim scholar writes in praise of Abu Talib (a.s.), Shiite thinkers are also motivated and encouraged to do so”, he stated.


“Academic work has its own audience,” he said, stressing the need for public works, and added, “In order to remove the oppression of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), it is necessary to introduce different aspects of his personality to ordinary people.”


As an example of public works, the representative of the Grand Ayatollah Hakim said, “To introduce him to the people, one of the things that can be done is to name some streets and squares after him. This requires consultation with municipalities and in-charge institutions.”
