According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>With the participation of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, and with the initiation of the Research Institute of Jamiat al-Zahra Seminary University, the first pre-conference of the \u201cInternational Conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), Supporter of the Great Prophet (p.b.u.h)\u201d with the title \u201cSubject-finding session for the conference of Abu Talib (a.s.)\u201d was held on Thursday, February 14, 2019, 9 to 11 a.m., in Research Institute of Jamiat al-Zahra Seminary University.<\/p>\n

\nIn the meeting, with the presence of some of history professors and clerics of the sisters\u2019 seminary, the Chairman of the Academic Council of the Abu Talib (a.s.) conference introduced the conference and the professors who participate in.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThen, while raising the issue of the faith of Abu Talib (a.s.), Ayatollah Mohammad Hadi Yousefi Gharavi pointed to a poem by Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) that Ibn Abi Al-Hadid Mu’tazili, the commentator of Nahj al-Balaghah (born 656 AH) had referred to, and said, \u201cThis poem is about Islam and the faith of Abu Talib (a.s.), and mentioning the poem by Ibn Abi Al-Hadid shows that he was a Shiite.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nFollowing this meeting, Hojat al-Islam Mohammad Mehdi Sabahi Kashani, director of the Research and Publication Institute of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), after giving explanations about the conference of Abu Talib (a.s.) said, \u201cSince the Islamic Revolution, for forty years, no useful and comprehensive work has been done as an encyclopedia about Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) as a supporter of the Prophet (p.b.u.h).\u201d<\/p>\n

\nReferring to the character of Abu Talib (a.s.) and his 42 years of sacrifice for the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and supporting him, he introduced Abu Talib (a.s.) as the supporter of the first core of Islam.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSome work has been done on this character in various dimensions and it will be available to researchers soon. As an example of Abu Talib\u201ds activities, he has expressed his support for the Prophet (p.b.u.h) in various situations in the form of poetry and prose. Opponents believe that Abu Talib did not say the Shahada (an Islamic oath that one says to convert to Islam). Of course, many Sunni theologians do not limit the converting to Islam to saying Shahada, and they believe that faith (to Islam) is in the heart and not the tongue,\u201d added the chairman of Hazrat Abu Talib Research and Publishing Institute.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe believe that the deeds of Abu Talib (a.s.) show that no one but a believer did these deeds,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\u201cResearch should be done according to historical propositions that leads to a complete proof of the faith of Abu Talib (a.s.),\u201d suggested Sabahi Kashani to the researchers, expressing the influential role of Abu Talib (a.s.) in the events of Islamic history, including She\u2019b (Valley) of Abi Talib incident (during the siege of Quraysh against the Prophet and his followers).<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAbout 700 verses of poetry remain from Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) that should be researched,\u201d he added, referring to the poetry collection book attributed to Abu Talib (a.s.), and its translation, introducing the Abu Talib\u2019s poetry as one of the tools to defend Islam and the Prophet (p.b.u.h).<\/p>\n

\nHojat al-Islam Mohammad Hassan Shafiei Shahroudi, director of the Institute of the Mirath-e Nabowat (Heritage of Prophethood), after the introduction of the book \u201cAbu Talib (a.s.), supporter of the Prophet (p.b.u.h)\u201d, pointed to the exact date of the death of Abu Talib (a.s.) in 26 Rajab, which is confirmed by Maraje\u2019 Taqlid (Sources of Emulation).<\/p>\n
