Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In this morning’s Fajr lesson on the explanation of the Book of Tawhid, I was confused about the statement regarding the reason for Abu Talib’s failure to embrace Islam. Is it because he feared that the Quraysh would mock him for shirk (associating partners with Allah), or is it because he feared that the Quraysh would mock him for Islam?
Answer:
My brother, this is clear from the hadith. He said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1360 He preferred the religion of his people over the religion of Allah because of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) tribal pride. Yes.
