Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) was on the religion of his forefathers. According to researchers of Islam forefathers of Seal of Prophets and Messengers (SAWW) were all on Din-e-Ibrahimi. Author of Seerah An-Nabawiyah writes in his book on page 61 quoting Imam Fakhr-ud-Din Razi that holy Prophet (SAWW) said: I had been continuously transferred from the loins of Tahireen (pure and chaste men) to the wombs of Tahiraat (pure and chaste ladies):

If any period is empty of Proof of Allah, the earth will go destructed along with its inhabitants.

Therefore, we have to admit that from after Prophet Jesus till the advent of holy Prophet (SAWW), Hojjaj Allah (Proofs of Allah) remained present, and from among them was Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) after Hazrat Abdul-Muttalib (A.S.). On the same basis Allah says:

Bedouins said we put faith. (But o Prophet) say: you do not put faith but accepted Islam because faith has not entered in your hearts.

And the proof that faith belongs to heart is, that a momin (faithful) from Aal-e-Firon helped Prophet Moses by concealing his iman (faith) who has been called Momin-e-Aal-e-Firon. Thus Allah says:

Momin-e-Aal-e-Firon who was keeping faith secret in his heart said.

If a man by keeping his faith secret in his heart helped Moses and therefore is called Momin, then Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) is that personality who brought holy Prophet (SAWW) up rather bore sufferings of Sheb-e-Abi Talib (A.S.) in his company while supporting him and no Muslim can deny all this.belief is that greatest thing which has been termed as supreme over all feelings according to ulama-e-Akhlaq. And the same has been used as a weapon today. Every human being can observe this that satanic powers are bent upon stopping oppressed nations and Islamic world from achieving independence and rights by creating rift among them. Kashmir, Palestine, Chechnya and other freedom movements are an example of the same. Same has been done in Afghanistan and Iraq; energies have been spent in Pakistan also for the past 2 decades but Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya proved by thwarting this heinous conspiracy that there is no Sunni-Shia conflict in Pakistan. The Satanic powers desire to meet their interests by maintaining supremacy of their stooges Hindus and Zionists in all regions whether it is Middle East or South Asia.

If the faith of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) was against Holy Prophet (SAWW)'s then his role was like that of Abu Jehl and Abu Lahab. But Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.)'s rendering support and help to the Prophet (SAWW) on every occasion is crystal clear proof of his faith. Therefore, when a man wrote Hazrat Ali (A.S.) in a letter:

Imam (A.S.) replied:

But your grandfather Omayya is not like my grandfather Hashim, Your grandfather Harb is not like my grandfather Abdul-Muttalib and your father is not like my father Abu Talib.

Holy Prophet (SAWW) himself said:

Whose son is Kull-e-Iman he himself is Kamal-e-Iman. That is why holy Prophet (SAWW) called the year of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) death "Aam-ul Huzn" (Year of Grief). At his death bed, last words of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) were: I'm dieing on the religion of Abdul-Muttalib.

Mentioning of some couplets of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) is must:

O Prophet! you have called me, I’m sure you are true in giving invitation of Islam and you are already truthful and honest; i believe that religion of Muhammad is best of all; by God all non-believers could not cause any harm to you in my life.

That’s why infidels of Arab had no courage to even cast an evil look on the Prophet (SAWW) during his life. But when Abu Talib (A.S.) died, holy Prophet (SAWW) had to face migration from Makkah and 105 wars. this day again, Islamic world is confronted with wars and aggression while there exist 57 Muslim States on the face of earth world enriched with host of blessings, despite all this there is lack of unity, solidarity and brotherhood in the world of Islam, every one is limited in his own shell which is beneficial for Satanic powers. Energies have been utilized to weaken Islamic world by using religious hatred as a weapon. The only remedy is that we should instead of following in the footsteps of Europe follow in the seerat and character of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.) who alone not only protected the Holy Prophet (SAWW) rather religion of Islam which is a role model for all. After him, character of progeny of Abu Talib (A.S.), holy Prophet (SAWW) and Ali (A.S.)-o-Batool (A.S.) is a beacon of light for oppressed, have-nots and Islamic world to get rid of colonial powers and its stooges. Disappointment is a sin, we should trust in Allah.
