He being the brother of Abdullah, the father of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad,^[2] was his uncle and father of Ali. After the death of his father Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim ibn Abd Manaf, he inherited this position as tribal chieftain, and the offices of Siqaya and Rifada.^[3] He was well-respected in Mecca.^[4]

According to general consensus of Sunni Islamic scholars, Abu Talib never converted to Islam.^[5]^[6]^[7]
