According to the AhlulBayt World Assembly News Portal: <\/strong>The 3rd<\/sup> meeting of the International Conference of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), the Supporter of the Great Prophet (p.b.u.h), entitled the Committee of Poetry and Literature was held on Tuesday evening, March 9, 2021, in Shahid Sadr Hall in Imam Khomeini Higher Education Complex.<\/p>\n

\nThe chairman of the committee was Ayatollah Mohammad Saeed Nomani, the judge was Dr. Baqer Ghorbani Zarrin, a member of the faculty of Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch, and its secretary was Hojat al-Islam Valiullah Madanipour.<\/p>\n

\nDeputy Secretary-General and Deputy of Cultural Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, Hojat al-Islam \u201cAhmad Ahmadi Tabar, and the Director-General of Research of the Assembly, Hojat al-Islam \u201cSayed Mohammad Reza Al-e Ayub\u201d were also present in this committee.<\/p>\n

\nFollowing the committee session, \u201cHossein Mohtadi\u201d presented his article entitled \u201cStudy of the praises for Prophet in the divan (book of poems) of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.)\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSome people have written poems in praise of the Prophet to save their lives. Others have written poems in praise of the Prophet for material motives. \u00a0However, some of the poems in praise of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) are sincere, and we can see this kind of sincere praise of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) in the poems of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.),\u201d he said, referring to the various poems praising the Prophet (p.b.u.h).<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThere are several different divans (book of poems) in which the poems of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) have been collected. The Divan of \u201cAli Ibn Hamza Basri\u201d has the most poems by Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.),\u201d Mohtadi continued.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe poems of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) in praise of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) can be divided into two parts: poems before the Be\u2019that of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), and poems after the Be\u2019that of the Prophet (p.b.u.h). In the poems before the Be\u2019that, the paternalistic view of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) towards Prophet Mohammad (p.b.u.h) is prominent and in these poems, Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) has referred to the conspiracies (of Mushrekin) against the Prophet (p.b.u.h). However, Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) in his poems in praise of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) after the Be\u2019that, has addressed the mission of the Prophet (p.b.u.h), which proves the faith of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.),\u201d added the researcher of religious sciences.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs a child, Prophet Mohammad (p.b.u.h) had a trip to the Levant with his uncle Abu Talib (a.s.), during which a piece of cloud always cast a shadow over the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), an event that surprised everyone. A Christian monk named \u201cBahira\u201d saw this miracle and said to Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.), \u201cThis child is the last prophet, leave here because the enemies will decide to kill him\u201d. Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) has referred to this story in his poems before the Be\u2019that,\u201d Mohtadi stated, referring to the miracle of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) before the Be\u2019that.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) seeks refuge in Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) in troubles. When there was a famine in Mecca, Abu Talib (a.s.) took the Prophet (p.b.u.h) to the Kaaba. As a child, Prophet Muhammad prayed near the Kaaba. Due to the prayer of the Prophet, it rained a lot and that rain provided the needs of the people of Mecca for many years. This story was also one of the cases mentioned in the poems of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) in praise of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) before the Be\u2019that,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIn his poems after the Be\u2019that, Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) explicitly refers to Hazrat Muhammad (p.b.u.h) as a Prophet. With these poems, the faith of Hazrat Aboutaleb (a.s.) can be proved. In other poems, Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) asks his children to always help the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and support him,\u201d added the researcher of religious sciences.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe do not see \u201cghazal\u201d (a form of poetry) in the Divan of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.); Rather, his poetry is an example of committed literature,\u201d he mentioned.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHe was known as a sage and incomparable figure and despite his material poverty, he became Sayed of Quraysh. Abu Talib (a.s.) paid more attention to Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) than he did to his own children,\u201d stated Ayatollah Nomani, the chairman of this committee in the final part of the session, referring to the characteristics of Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.).<\/p>\n

\u201cSome Sunnis say that Abu Talib\u2019s defense of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) was not due to family ties. But this is not the case and Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) had a special view of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) from the very beginning and before his Be\u2019that,\u201d Ayatollah Nomani concluded.<\/p>\n

\nIt should be mentioned that by the initiation of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, and support and cooperation of the similar institutions, including, \u201cImam Hossein (a.s.)
