Introduction โ from Tafheem-ul-Quran
When the Prophet ๏ทบ called the Quraysh from Mount Safa and warned them, his own uncle Abu Lahab cried: 'May you perish!' The surah turned the curse back โ 'Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab' โ and prophesied that he and his wife, the carrier of firewood, would die in disbelief; both did, exactly as foretold.
