After the demise of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Muslims were divided regarding whom they should follow as their political and religious leader. The Sunnis followed the Prophet’s companions whilst the Shias followed the 12 Holy Imams chosen by God. The Shia Imams were from the lineage of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from his only surviving daughter, Lady Fatimah (SA).

Today, Islam is a worldwide religion with more than a billion followers. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went through many hardships in spreading God’s word and establishing Islam to the religion it is today. Among those who supported Prophet Muhammad in his mission, there is one outstanding character who has been overlooked in history. This character is none other than Abu-Talib, the Prophet’s beloved uncle who raised, protected, and supported the Prophet at every step of the way. Without Abu-Talib’s contributions, the Prophet’s life and mission would have been greatly endangered.
