This is the Deen of Allah Ta\u2018ala, His angels and all His prophets, especially the Deen of our forefather, Hazrat Ebrahim (\u2018alaihis salaam). Allah Ta\u2018ala has made me His Rasul and deputed me to all His servants. You are most deserving of my advice. I invite you towards goodness and divine guidance. You, before anyone else, should accept this divine guidance and true religion and give me assistance and support in Deen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abu Taalib replied, \u201cNephew!

I have brought Imaan in Allah Ta\u2018ala and His Rasul (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and I believe in whatever he conveys to us from Allah Ta\u2018ala. I worship Allah Ta\u2018ala with him and I am his devoted follower.\u201d Abu Taalib remarked, \u201cThis is the best for you. He has invited you to pure goodness.
