At this juncture...
At this juncture, Abdul-Muttalib came and asked Abraham to restore his camels, Abraham retorted: " Instead of asking back for your camels, why don't you ask that my army should return back, and Allah's sanctuary, the Holy Ka'aba, not be destroyed?" Abdul-Muttalib answered with an overflowing spirit of faith and reliance towards the Lord that: "I am the owner of my camels, and this House the 'Ka'aba' has a Lord in the same manner, for it's protection." Then Abdul-Muttalib came towards Mecca and reached the holy Ka'aba, and supplicated to the Lord whilst holding the loop of the door, saying, "O my Lord, I have no hope whatsoever in anyone but Thou.
O Lord! Protect me from the evil of these enemies, the enemies of the Ka'aba who are fighting against you, prevent them from destroying your Holy Sanctuary." Such eloquent utterances among other similar ones, clarify the evidences of His worship towards Allah, and his firm faith this is why 'Yaqoobi' in his history writes the following regarding Abdul-Muttalib: "He refused to worship idols and was a believer in the one and only Exalted and Glorious Lord." Now let us now look at the opinion of Abdul-Muttalib regarding his son, Abu-Talib: Abu Talib from the viewpoint of Abdul-Muttalib: Amidst the pages of History, it is evident that some of the predictors of clear conscience informed Abdul-Muttalib of the bright future of the Holy prophet and his prophethood.
When 'Saif bin thi Yazdan' was ruling over Abysinnia, Abdul-Muttalib who was heading a mission came to meet him, and after presenting him with an eloquent speech, the commander of Abyssinia gave him the glad tidings that a dignified Prophet shall be born in his family, then added to the following regarding the characteristics of the Prophet; "His Name will be Muhammed (p), His father and mother shall die and both his grandfather and uncle will take the responsibility of his guardianship." Later the king went on giving a detailed description of this prophet who would come in the future adding that: "He worships the beneficent God, prevents the Satan, puts off the fires and destroys the idols.
His speech shall be the criterion for distinguishing right from wrong and his judgment will be based on justice.
