Abu Lahab was the uncle of Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him.  Lahab means flames and hence he was nicknamed so because of the radiant look on his face.  Together with his wife, Abu Lahab was one of the most hostile opponents of God’s Messenger and the ideas he propagated.

Although the Arabs before Islam did not deny God altogether, they did not know Him by His identity as the One and the Eternal.  They neither showed any true understanding of God, nor worshipped Him properly.  On the contrary, they ascribed to Him, as partners, idols that were supposed to represent their great and pious ancestors or, in some cases, the angels whom they claimed to be God’s daughters.  Moreover, they alleged a kinship between Him and the jinn.  In spite of their belief in God, ...
