Abu Lahab

ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib (Arabic: عبد العزى بن عبد المطلب‎), often known as Abū Lahab (Arabic: أبو لهب‎) (c. 549 – 624) was Muhammad's half paternal uncle. He was one of the Meccan Quraysh leaders who opposed Muhammad and his followers and was condemned in the surah Lahab (Surah al-Massad) of the Quran for antagonizing Islam.
