Abu Talib Intl. figure, expert in religious studies: Musavi Tabrizi

 

“There are different historical narrations about this great figure. It is clear what is the reason for the disagreement about the character of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.). But history shows what a great role Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) played in inviting people to Islam and Tawhid and what a great work he did in this regard,” stated the representative of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Syria and Lebanon, referring to the character of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.).


“The support of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) for the Prophet (p.b.u.h) shows the love of this noble man for Tawhid and his dependence on Islam and the worship of God Almighty,” added Hojat al-Islam Sayed Hassan Mousavi Tabrizi on the occasion of the “International Conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.); the Supporter of the Great Prophet (p.b.u.h)” which is being held by the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.


In an exclusive interview with ABNA correspondent, considering Hazrat Abd al-Muttalib (a.s.) as a Mowahed (monotheistic), God-fearing and believing man, he stated, “Hazrat Abd al-Muttalib (a.s.), the father of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) and the grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), at the time of his death, although had 10 sons, took only the hand of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) and made a will for him to be like a father for the Muhammad, who was only eight years old at the time. The reason for this choice of Hazrat Abd al-Muttalib (a.s.) was the faith and Tawhid of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.).”


“In this conference, the personality of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) should be discussed before and after the birth of the Prophet (p.b.u.h), and his position among the Quraysh tribe and the people of Mecca. It is also important that talking about the character of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) should not be limited to discussion about his believe in Islam,” stated Hojat al-Islam Mousavi Tabrizi, referring to the “International Conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.); Supporter of the Great Prophet (p.b.u.h)”.


“Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) was a great scholar. He was considered a great poet, which is a privilege for a character among the Arabs. But so far not much work has been done in the field of rhetoric and knowledge of Hazrat Aboutaleb (a.s.). He was a rhetorician who had strong ties to the tribes of Mecca and kings, even the king of Rome. Abu Talib (a.s.) was an international figure who had a special place among scholars,” he continued.

The representative of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Lebanon added, “One of the dimensions of the personality of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) was his knowledge and mysticism. The poems left by Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) are full of mysticism. He addressed the following poems to the Prophet (p.b.u.h):


وَاللَّهِ لَنْ یَصِلُوا اِلَیْکَ بِجَمْعِهِمْ  /  حَتَّی اُوَسَّدَ فِی التُّرَابِ دَفِیناً

فَاصْدَعْ بِاَمْرِکَ مَا عَلَیْکَ غَضَاضَةٌ  /  وَاَبْشِرْ وَقَرَّ بِذَاکَ مِنْکَ عُیُوناً

وَدَعَوْتَنِی وَ ذَکَرْتَ اَنَّکَ نَاصِحِی  /  فَلَقَدْ صدَقْتَ وَ کُنْتَ قَبْلُ اَمِیناً

وَ ذَکَرْتَ دِیناً قَدْ عَلِمْتُ بِاَنَّهُ  /  مِنْ خَیْرِ اَدْیَانِ الْبَرِیَّةِ دِینا


“These verses show that Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) also knew about the previous religions,” Mousavi Tabrizi emphasized.


“The Prophet (p.b.u.h) was present at the funeral and burial ceremony of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) and cried a lot during this ceremony. In such a way that the Quraysh heard the cry of the Prophet (p.b.u.h). The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) called the year of the demise of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) as the Aam al-Hozn, meaning a year of sorrow and grief, which has a great meaning. We must pay attention to the dimensions of the personality of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) and introduce this figure to the whole world,” he mentioned.


“Of course, one important point to note in holding this conference is that the Supreme Leader and the grand sources of emulation have a lot of emphasis on religious issues and the need to create unity among Muslims (Shiites and Sunnis). Therefore, studying the personality of Hazrat Abu Talib (AS) should not be a means of opposing others and a ground for creating separation among Muslims. Even the infidels of Quraysh, who were bad and stubborn people, showed respect and humility to Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) and respected this noble man,” the Islamic thinker concluded in the end.
