According to the consensus of scholars from the time of Sheikh Kulayni, Sheikh Saduq, and Sheikh Mofid onwards, the followers of Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) – Shiites – have quoted in all books, writings, and hadiths that Abu Talib (a.s.) was a Muslim and even his faith played a very important role in preserving Islam.

The Secretary of the Academic Committee of the International Conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.)  said, “The enemies, especially the Nawasib and the Wahhabis, raise many doubts against Abu Talib (a.s.). For that, one of the goals of the conference is to remove ambiguity and doubts from him.”

If there were not Hazrat Abu Talib and his son Imam Ali (a.s.), the religion of Islam would not have continued. Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) defended the Prophet in Mecca until the end of his life and Imam Ali (a.s.) defended the Prophet in Medina until the end of Prophet’s life.
