It was Omar bin Al-Khattab and Othman bin Affan, As well as the testimony of Mrs. Aisha, may God be pleased with him, In the love of the Prophet, peace be upon him, for him: “I have not seen the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, honor someone as he honored Al-Abbas, a verse was revealed about him, and that was when he was captured on the day of Badr and he argued on his behalf and said: “If you preceded us with Islam, emigration and jihad, we used to build the Sacred Mosque, give water to the pilgrims and relieve the suffering.” That is why God revealed the eloquent verse about him, which makes it clear that polytheism is not justified by righteous deeds, and good deeds do not avail, even if it is exaggerated by faith in God and His Prophet, peace be upon him, And it is (You have made it necessary to water the pilgrim and build the Sacred Mosque, like one who believes in God and the Last Day and strives in the way of God, they are not equal with God, and God does not guide the wrongdoing people.)

And Abu Talib's positions in supporting the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - are many, perhaps the most important of them, what did he do when the harm of Quraysh intensified, and they resolved to kill the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - publicly, so Abu Talib did not remain silent, but rather gathered the sons of Bani Abd al-Muttalib all of them in his people, and they entered Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - to protect him from the Quraysh, so they all surrounded the people of Abi Talib, protecting their son and defending him, the death of Abi Talib, and they brought Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - into it to protect him from the Quraish, so they all besieged in (a coral: a place with dense trees) Abu Talib, protecting their son and defending him, the death of Abu Talib, without believing in spite of the high status of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - in the heart of Abu Talib and his love for him and his care for him when he was young, and then defending him after his prophethood and repelling Quraysh and harming them from him, However, Abu Talib did not enter Islam, nor did he utter the word of monotheism, and the Prophet - may blessings and peace be upon him - tried, with him to repeat the word of monotheism, but he refused except to remain on the religion of his father Abdul Muttalib, and the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - grieved a lot for not embracing Islam, so God Almighty sent down a consolation to him in his saying - the Almighty -: (You do not guide whom you love, but God guides whom He wills) but his stand and his defense of his nephew was an intercessor for him in easing the torment for him, as the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - told us and said: (The least tormented of the people of Hell is Abu Talib, who was wearing two sandals from which his brain was boiling) Abu Talib died in the tenth year of the mission, and his death caused great grief to the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace -.

4- Abu Lahab

His name was Abd al-Uzza, and he was known by his nickname, as his father gave him that. It was said: for his good face. Al-Suhaili said: The nickname of Abu Lahab is an introduction to what is promised to him of flames, that is: when he is promised from the fire of Hell, and his mother is Lubna, the daughter of Hajar bin Khuza’a, and he said - Glory be to Him -: (He will pray in a fire with flames), and this was achieved, so he died as an infidel, and God Almighty mentioned him In the Qur’an, Abu Lahab is known by this name, and Abu Lahab was given this nickname due to the intensity of his face. The face of Abu Lahab Abu Lahab married Umm Jamil, Bint Harb bin Umayyah bin Abd Shams, who was mentioned in the Qur’an with a load of firewood, Her name is Arwa, and she was nicknamed Al-Awra. Not naked in her eyes, but for her beauty, and she is the sister of Abu Sufyan, And her enmity towards Islam and Muslims is like the enmity of her brother, and when she heard the words of God the Most High: (perished the hand of Abu Lahab , and perished, His wealth and what he earned will not avail him He will pray in a blazing fire And his wife is a carrier of firewood Around her neck is a rope of fire) she took a pile of stones with her and went to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, He was in the mosque at the Kaaba with Abu Bakr, and when she arrived, God Almighty blinded her sight of the Messenger of God, so she asked Abu Bakr, saying: “Where is your friend? I heard that he is doing my spelling, By God, if I found him, I would hit him with what I had in my hand.”] Abu Lahab’s children Three children were born to Abu Lahab: Utbah, Mutib, and Otaiba, and Abu Lahab was nicknamed by all of them, and he had a daughter named Dora Bint Abi Lahab, and Utbah and Mutab converted to Islam on the day of the conquest of Mecca, They proved their bravery to the Messenger of God in the Battle of Hunayn, and they were also among those who witnessed the Battle of Taif, Utbah was the husband of Ruqayyah, the daughter of the Prophet, and Otaiba was the husband of Umm Kulthum, when Surat Al-Masd was revealed, their parents ordered them to divorce the Prophet’s daughters, so they divorced them.

She does not love me and I do not love you, He approached the Messenger of God until he tore his clothes, and the Messenger of God prayed for him to set a dog over him, when he went out on a business trip to Syria, a lion came to them and sniffed them until he reached him and recognized him, so he cut off his head, Abu Lahab said: "I knew that he would not escape Muhammad's call, Abu Lahab's enmity towards the Messenger was Abu Lahab's wife carrying firewood and thorns, and you throw it in the path of the Messenger of God, and it obstructs his way to him, so God Almighty revealed it: the previous verse, In addition to what Abu Lahab used to do in gatherings in front of the general public, He stands against the Messenger of God and tries hard to prevent him from calling. The reason for the revelation of the verses of Surat Al-Lahab was that when the Messenger of God was commanded to convey the revelation, God the Most High said: (And warn your closest clan) The Messenger of God ascended Mount Safa, and began to call out: O son of so-and-so, O son of so-and-so, O son of so-and-so, O son of so-and-so, o sons of Abd al-Muttalib, so they gathered with him, and he said to them: (Would you see that if I told you that horses were coming out at the foot of this mountain, did you believe me? They said: We have not experienced a lie against you, He said: I am a warner to you before a severe punishment. He said: Abu Lahab said: destruction for you, did you gather us only for this, then he rose) so Surat Al-Masd was revealed about the death of Abu Lahab.

How uncles make life easier and better for children


Uncles aren't just parenthood comfort jugs. These older and younger siblings fall under the scientific umbrella of "parents," or the caregivers of children who are not direct offspring. Like the grandmothers, grandfathers, and neighbors involved, researchers suspect these helpers play a unique role that goes far beyond spoiling their nieces and nephews and helping them bail. What is the use of uncles? A lot, it turns out. Uncles make up for the lack of cousins Research shows that uncles have closer relationships with their nieces and nephews when they don't have children, and the same goes for aunts. However, this does not mean that they do this to pass on their genes.


It might just be that parental uncles have children of their own to direct time and resources to, and childless uncles are supposed to have more. As much as parents want to ask their uncles when they will have kids how much DNA do you share with an aunt or uncle? How much DNA do you share with your aunt or uncle? A person will share between 1300 and 2300 cm with his aunt or uncle. Measured in percentages, we would expect an individual to share approximately 19-33% of their DNA with these relatives, and it is important to know that there are other relatives who share our 1300-2300 cm. For example, half siblings, grandparents, nephews and nieces share with us so are the descendants, in whose DNA they fall into the same range.

Why don't we share more DNA with our aunts and uncles?

If our aunt or uncle is descended from our great-grandparents, why don't we share more than just 19-33% more DNA with them? If they are full siblings of our parents, don't they share the same DNA? The reason we only share between 1300-2300 cm with our parents' siblings is because siblings don't share 100% of their DNA with each other. In addition, the way our DNA is passed on means that we will share much less DNA with our aunts and uncles than we do with our parents. For example, full siblings generally share between 33% and about 50% of their DNA with each other. This is because each parent passes 50% of their randomly selected DNA to the child. While a portion of the DNA that two siblings inherit from their parents will be identical, they will also inherit a significant amount that is not the same. Then, when a sibling has children, they only pass half of their DNA on to their child, which means that only half of the 33-50% that might be identical to their sibling is passed on to their offspring.
