When discussing the biography of the Prophet of Islam (ṣ) and talking about his ancestry, one of the influential people who must necessarily be talked about is the Prophet’s venerable grandfather, ʻAbdulmuṭṭalib.

We urge all the Muslims to quickly take actions to save their fellow Muslims from the Indian oppression, because anyone who is indifferent about this issue will be held accountable by Allah.
