Monotheism

[edit]
  • «He is said to have been a monotheist (al-Masʿūdī, 2:127), God-fearing (kāna yataʾallahu, Ibn Saʿd, 1:85), and first to practice taḥannuth... Nevertheless, in some traditions ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib still appears as a non-Muslim who was doomed to Hell (Ibn Saʿd, 4:24–5), and his religion (milla) is regarded as paganism, which his son Abū Ṭālib reportedly refused to abandon (Ibn Bukayr, 238; Ibn Saʿd, 1:122). However, Muslim scholars anxious to absolve the Prophet’s grandfather of the charge of paganism claimed that he had died as a Muslim after having observed the signs indicating the truth of Muḥammad’s prophethood (al-Suhaylī, 2:170–1; see further discussions of ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib's status in the next world in Ibn Sayyid al-Nās, 1:131; al-Suyūṭī, 49–54, 102f., 121f.). In Shīʿī sources it is stated that ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib will be resurrected as a nation (umma) on its own, bearing the signs of prophets and the awe of kings (al-Kulaynī, 1:447).» Rubin, Uri, ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib b.
