Also, explain this:
Brother Farid, you said Abdul-Muttalib was pagan & kuffar simply for naming his two sons with polytheistic theophoric names. I agree. You are right. No disagreement between us regarding this issue.
Again, we shias believe Abu Talib (a.s) real name was Imran (a.s) & not Abd Manaf
Whereas Abu Lahab I have doubts regarding him being son of Abdul-Muttalib. There is no mention of him of supporting Banu Hashim or going through the sufferings inflicted on Banu Hashim. I will be researching on this character as to know his true identity and his true lineage.
I agreed with you on Abdul-Muttalib having two sons with polytheistic theophoric names because that is what Ahlul Sunnah believes.
My agreeing with you on these things were because I did not have evidence from Ahlul Sunnah sources stating otherwise. That is why as I said previously there are authentic Ahlul Sunnah sources stating beliefs of Prophet's (s.a.w.w) parents, uncle Abu Talib & ancestors. There are also many Ahlul Sunnah sources stating Abu Lahab being son of Abdul-Muttalib. And almost all Ahlul Sunnah give Abu Talib (a.s) real name as Abd Manaf.
However I again repeat, I as a Shia believe Prophet's parents (a.s), uncles Abu Talib (a.s), Hamza (a.s), Abbas (a.s) & ancestors (a.s) upto Nabi Adam (a.s) to be pure believers and superior beings. Also I believe Abu Talib's (a.s) real name to be Imran (a.s). And as for Abu Lahab I need to research on this guy as to know why did he keep himself aloof from Banu Hashim and showed extreme enmity to the Prophet (s.a.w.w).
