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 member of the Supreme Council of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Until the tenth year after the Be’that when Abu Talib (a.s.) was alive, the enmity of the Quraysh with the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) was not so much. But after his death, the enemies decided to kill the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and the story of Hijra (migration of the Holy Prophet from Mecca to Median) took place.
