 And in the Quran, the Surah says, Abu Lahab will be perished. Abu Lahab in two lines of Shahada could have disproved the Quran. Or if you look at Surah 26 verse 214, he told the Holy Prophet, go and tell your people about the beauty of this Quran. Tell your community first, no, tell your family first. Abu Lahab was sitting down within this gathering, and the Holy Prophet came and addressed his family. He didn't want them to abandon the gift that he had. So he looked towards them and he said to them very clearly, he said to them, oh my dear family, if I told you there was an army coming from behind that mountain, would you believe me or no? They said, of course, Muhammad, you are al-sadaq and al-ameen. If I were to tell you about the day of judgment, and there's a day where I'm gonna be questioned, and that I am the prophet of God, and that the Quran has been revealed to me, do you take my words or no? They looked at him, some of them were not certain, others of them wanted to believe, yet you found the first who abandoned the Quran. When Rasulullah had placed it in front of him was Abu Lahab. Abu Lahab looked at them and he said, what do you mean? We have to submit to a Lord that we can't see, and we have to say that the black and the white are equal, and that the men and the women are equal? He replied, yes. Then Rasulullah looked at them and he said, I promise whoever believes in my prophethood and doesn't abandon this book, will be the Khalifa and the wasi after me. And the young Amir al-Mu'mineen stands up, says Rasulullah, I believe in you, I believe in you, I believe in you. Abu Lahab not a flinch, not a change. He listens to Rasulullah reciting the words of the Quran, he's not interested. Even afterwards, you know, the Surah which was revealed about him, you know it was revealed about him before he had died, and if you were to ask many people, that Surah, is it revealed about him after he had died? No, that Surah is a prophecy about you. Imagine, just imagine, that there's a Surah revealed in this Quran about me, I haven't passed away. And in the Quran, the Surah says, Abu Lahab will be perished. Abu Lahab, as one of my teachers once said to me, in two lines of Shahada, could have disproved the Quran. How? If Abu Lahab had said, Ashadu an-la ilaha illa Allah, Ashadu an-na Muhammad Rasulullah, the Quran will be finished. Rasulullah had the confidence while Abu Lahab was alive to stay sabbat yada'abi lahabi wa tab ma'a agna'a anhu ma'aluhu wa ma'a kassab sayasna'a naaran zata lahab Normally, when you read this verse with 20-20 hindsight, you think, wow, this verse was revealed after he died? No, while he's alive, Rasulullah is reciting in front of him, that my Lord has revealed the verse to me. Don't abandon the verse. My Lord has revealed to me the verse, may Abu Lahab's hands be perished. Yes, his wealth and his children will be of no avail to him. Every day, if Abu Lahab had just said, Ashadu an-la ilaha illa Allah, wa Ashadu an-na Muhammad Rasulullah, Abu Lahab would have disproved the Quran. Wouldn't he? In one moment, he would have disproved the Quran. Yet, every day, Abu Lahab no interest. The first to abandon the Quran of the Quraish was whom? The first to abandon it was Abu Lahab.
